What State Parks in PA? It all depends on how far away it is from where I live.

 

Susquehannock, Sizerville, and Cherry Springs for the parks I'm looking into for trails, and another state forrest, and a couple game lands that have logging or fire trails. We most likely will meet in Potter County. But I'm open too. Just trying to scope out some trails, and hoping to find one or two with nice vistas for fall foliage scenes. Who knows, we might drop into the Grand Canyon too.

Just for reference, I work in Canonsburg PA, and not too far from WVA, and it's about 4 hours from here.

 

wish i could make it

cant make the fall,
am expecting a little passenger , you know the 6-9 lb back seat drivers type,
due in oct,
wish i could make it though,
fall is great,
as for trails, would recomend mid to western PA,
as eastern PA doesnt allow offroading except for ATV's in state forests/lands

 

I know Canonsburg pretty well. For Sarris Candies and summer ice hockey for youth. My younger bro played hockey up there for a few summers.

Susquehannock is 7 hours and 34 mins away roughtly, Sizerville is 6 hours and 1 min away roughtly, and Cherry Springs is 5 hours and 59 mins away roughtly. HAHA, it be a trip just getting there :banana:.

It all depends on where you go and if I get new tires. My OEM tires are starting to look bad and they are not going to make it through the winter with out being replaced. So thems the brakes.

Just keep me informed. :smiley_thumbs_up:

 

I work about 5 minutes from Sarris, and am even closer to the rink at Southpointe. Have lunch at Jay's sometimes when the Pens are there. Let me know if you come back this way again.

If I don't hear from many more folks soon, I'll just plan for another winter meet.

 

I was just in PA (where I bought my PAT). But will have to wait a few years until I can go back.

 

Fellow Pens Fan,

I rarely go up there anymore. Last time I was in that area I was taking my family to Chuck Cheese in bridgesville, I believe it is, about 4 months ago.

Let me know how this all pans out... a winter meet may be better for me as well... fyi

 

I don't appear to have a free weekend until the end of October, and even that is filling up fast... That being said, I also have $0 in my bank account so I can't really afford the gas and hotel either (if we are past camping season).

Hope it works out for whoever goes, though.

 

I have some free weekends between now and mid-October if we're able to make something happen by then.

 

Thanks Antdragon. Anyone else?

 

I'd like to come hopefully there will be no errand comes up.

 

OK, not much time to plan a fall meet, so unless 4-5 of you post here soon that you want to come, I'll cancel this and start to plan a winter meet. So if you're interested, let me know soon, thanks.

Fall is going to be rough for me because we just got a new place, so I'm broke.

Winter is a possibility tho.

 

The are os just so beautiful in fall, winter is short days. But hell, maybe someone will bring a snowmobile, or cross country skis. There is a downhill ski are nearby too, Ski Denton, but my downhill days are over with my knees. We could do some sledding though on the hills. Maybe a campf

Last winter we met for lunch, had fun going up my driveway, then sat around for some drinks. I had quite a bit of bourbon and was glad I didn't have to drive anywhere. Tough to keep up with the young guys, lol.

 

I'll be in Potter county, and have some time this weekend, and the weekend of Oct 2nd, if anyone comes for the fall foliage and wants to hook up, just let me know.

Otherwise I guess we'll start looking at a winter meet.

 

I might have missed it but are Compasses invited too?

 

If we have a meet, anyone from this forum is welcome. Would be good for someone considering a Patriot to come and talk to folks who have them, and look some over too.

Oct 2nd is no good though, my bad. I'm going to my dad's cottage to help him this weekend. I will be home again Oct 9 weekend though.

Looks like we should start planning another Winter Meet.

 

Pittsburgh area meet and greet

If you are looking to do a meet and greet the Pittsburgh Fiat car club is meeting on October 10th which is a Sunday. That is a bye week for the Steelers, so we figured that would be a good day.

I have a patriot and have driven it to a couple meets in the past. But I'll have my charger with me this time. All fiat models are welcome You'll see everything from a dodge ram srt10 to a compass.

This is a family event ,so all are welcome. The event will be held at Dave & Busters at the Waterfront in Homestead. We chose this location because it is fairly central for our members. They have a large parking lot and can accomodate a large amount of people. We will have a meeting lunch or dinner every month until spring and we will have them in different locations so that everyone will have one close to home. Any ideas for future locations are welcome. We will eat at 2, but weather permitting we can meet in the parking lot any time after 1.

Dave & Busters 180 E Waterfront Drive Homestead, Pa 15120

 

Just started another college semester, on top of work :-( can't do 10 hours of driving for 2-hour M&Gs but looking forward to a winter meet if I can plan ahead a bit. Another Jeep gorup out here has maxed out even their "standy-by" for a foliage run at GWNF. I'd like to go on that trail again with more than two people on a gray drab, colorless day like last September!

 

Can someone tell me about these fall and winter meets? What types of locations are they? Are they camping friendly? Are these events kid-friendly? If I'm a novice off-roader will I have trouble keeping up (this is my first 4X4)? I understand the fall trip is likely off, but I might be swayed into a winter trip. You can PM me with the info if you don't want to litter this thread with it.

 

zeeter, last year we had a winter meet for a few of us. I did some exploring with friends, driving on some snow covered forest roads (had to dig myself out of a few ditches, but I like to learn the capabilities of my vehicle before I really need them... ). On Saturday we met up at a diner and had a meal, drove around, and eventually tackled Dixie's driveway (steep snowmobile trail). This is my first 4x4 as well so it took me a couple of tries to get up his driveway, but it was a fun learning experience. We then hung out and BSed and had a couple of drinks at Dixie's and my friends and I went back to our place (we stayed at the Sweeden Valley Inn) and had some beers...

Overall a relaxing meet and greet with very very limited offroading (unless you go out and do it on your own like I did). Now on the Central PA trail ride that I was a part of about 1.5 years ago, we road on state forrest roads and looked for fun mud puddles, etc, to play in with our jeeps. Most (if not all) of us camped at the state park for that one (Pine Grove Forest State Park).

 

If we get together, I'll be sure to post it in the "Meet & Greet / Trail Runs" area.

It's beautiful in the mountains today, I had a nice ride home this morning, the foliage is pretty prime.

My driveway is in bad shape too, would be tough in the snow right now. I hope to get it better before winter hits.

I haven't had to time this summer to explore for trails, although I have found some on the topo maps.

There's an "unimproved road" on the game lands nearby, might make a tough trail in winter. Check out the map:

Anyone want to suggest a weekend this winter?

 

I'm watching this event, in case there's a chance I can attend.
Looks like some interesting territory: it's also criscrossed with vehicle tracks between the trees, and a clear cut logging area.
