Every year my family gets together for a little family "Jeep Jamboree". This was the 5th annual. It basically is a day of Jeepin' on some forest roads and a picnic/BBQ somewhere along the way. No hard core trails, but we always have fun. The CJ, XJ and WJ are all stock. Just proves that you don't have to have 35"+ tires to have fun.

I guess I should add...

The 1979 CJ5 belongs to my dad. The 2001 Grand Cherokee Limited belongs to my sister.

I'm calling Bald Eagle. I could be wrong, but I have some matching pics.

I'm not sure the overlook is a match. There are several lined with rocks like that, but it could be.

This is a match for that water hole. Especially with that pine.

This is likely the same coniferous area, because its not far from the water hole picture. Beautiful spot.

Good call Shontz. It's Bald Eagle S.F.

The depth of that mud hole certainly depends on how much rain we had. This pic is from last year. The mud was over the bumper of my YJ and it's rolling on 33" swampers with 4" of lift. It was about a foot less this year.

Chirs & Al - any of you guys interested in running some of these roads/trails sometime this fall?

Cool way to spend the day with the family (the Jeeps)... and your relatives too.

I haven't been in Bald Eagle state forest since I was in college in Williamsport back in the 80s. I'd be up for a day fo forest road running...especially when the leaves change.

I'd be interested in this as well. I've been out with Chris before at Rausch Creek, a change of scenery would be great.

Keep me posted!
