ATTRACTIONS & TOURISM
We had a bees' nest reported under the picnic table on the New Bethlehem side of the Climax Tunnel yesterday. Our brave volunteer removed it yesterday evening. We are so blessed. Thank you, Mike.

We had a huge tree down on the Depot Street Spur last evening. It was removed this morning by Brookville Borough public works. The trail is now clear. Thanks to trail user Tim for reporting and Brookville Borough for clearing the trail.

Attention trail users in the East Brady and Rimersburg areas: Do not drink the public water until further notice in East Brady or Rimersburg which are on the same system. DEP has issued an alert about a chemical that was mistakenly added to the water supply. DEP recommends boiling the water for a minute before using until further notice. This DOES NOT affect water in the New Bethlehem or Brookville systems so please stock up before you go to East Brady or Rimersburg.

A heat advisory has been posted for the next few days. If you're out enjoying the lack of rain, remember to bring plenty of water or beverages with electrolytes to stay hydrated.

So far we're in good shape. We think all of the washouts have been fixed and there are no closures as of this evening.
What shape are the trails? Any wash outs or closures?
After all the rain, today is a beautiful cool day to enjoy the trail before the heat is turned on. When you're out on the trail in the coming days, remember to bring plenty of water.

Near Trail ALERT. The Leader-Vindicator reported yesterday that the bridge across Red Bank Creek at St. Charles, where the old refractory used to be, has been closed indefinitely for structural deficiencies. You can still drive to the trail from Climax Road on the Armstrong County side of the Creek, but you won't be able to drive to the trail from St. Charles Road on the Armstrong County side off of Madison Road, SR 1004. Just proceed a little further up Madison Road to Climax Road to get to the trail. The trail remains fully open. You can access from St. Charles Road on the Clarion side.
The Mt. Pleasant Road bridge in Jefferson County in near mile 36.52 still remains closed for bridge replacement until at least August. The trail remains open, you'll just need to access the trail at Moore Road or Summerville. Happy trails!

Thanks to Jerry for this post:
What a ride on the RedBank Trail yesterday with my buddy Mike.
If you are into wildlife this is the trail to be on. It feels totally remote, very few cottages or road crossings, just you and nature, a near wilderness experience. You can ride for hours and see just a few people. There is NO other trail in this region that offers this level of solitude, you feel like the trail belongs to you. (especially if you pick up a few sticks) think of it as an entrance fee, and the ride will be better on the way back.
Just The highlights from our 3 hours on the trail.
We saw an Iddigo Bunting and a Scarlet Tanager, they must have been friends they were hanging out in the same bushes.
Also we saw a large black rat snake slithering off the trail .
But the coolest thing was the BABY bat 2โ wing span. I have never seen a baby one so this was a real treat. He was just fluttering up and down the trail, for an early evening outing with his Mom.
The Mountain laurel is in spectacular full bloom. The eagle (at Long Point tunnel area) was in his nest earlier in the day.
Ok those were the highlights.
I hope you can find the time to get out there..

Do you know what the longest section between tunnels is? I would love the wilderness feel but leery of long tunnels. Thanks .
My husband and I are blessed to live just a mile from the Lawsonham trail head and visit it almost every day to walk to bike ride. Haven't been able to go there for a few days as my husband suffered a heart attack, but are looking forward to being able to get back at it in a few days. Thanks Jerry for the update on what we are missing!
Nice tribute! I rode the trail yesterday, was gorgeous with the Mountain Laurel in full bloom. I saw the eagle too!
