 "The
NRP Elk Cruise" Veteran's Holiday Ride
|
Chris Kepler
suggested this route, which we've moved to FRIDAY due to the good weather
forecast and since it's the Official Veteran's Day Holiday (for some
lucky folks)....Depart KMS at 10:30 AM Friday, then
meet Chris at Lykens Market (at traffic signal) in Port Matilda by 11:00
AM. Chris says this timing should also allow time to eat at the "Elk
View Diner" in Benezette:
322W thru Clearfield to
153N to Penfield
to
255E to Weedville to
555E to Benezette (Lunch stop at the Elk View Diner), then to
120S, at the Willows Tavern, turn right across the iron
bridge and go up Wykoff Run and come out on 879S, where you take a left.
Then
follow that to a left turn which takes you to Karthus, Pine Glen,
and then 144S thru Snow Shoe to Wingate. You know the rest to home (by
4:30 PM).
All bikes are welcome to attend.
