A weekend quickie in North Cental PA:

Welcome to the jungle


Pine Forest


Nearly ran over this Timber Rattler


Typical forest road


Shallow ford


Mountain View


Camping Spot


Along the Tracks


Second day of the ride was the last day of the 2011 Rattlesnake season
Always stop and chat with those who are holding the snake.


Through the Bracken


Huckleberry patch...snakes like it here


Green, green, green


Blackberries are on


West Branch of the Susquehanna River


Final double track section

Looks like fun. Great photos. Seeing rattlers here (S.Carolina) is pretty rare. How long was the trip?

Length=2 days, 125 miles.  Mostly forest road through state forests.  A typical weekend excursion.

Great imagery, looks like a big snake, I didn't know there snakes in PA.  Lot's of them around here too, Colorado Front Range, August is when it is hot enough overnight to keep them active early in the morning when I ride.  Yuck.

Thanks for the images.

Great trip.  Lots of rattlers out here too this year.  I have run over two so far riding single track this year.  Didn't see them until they were under my front tire.  I have seen dozens more around here.
