Visiting Poe Valley (Summer Story)

Mid State Trail railroad tunnel in Poe Valley

Mid State Trail railroad tunnel in Poe Valley

My husband belongs to a rod-and-gun club. The club’s cabin is in the Poe Valley region of Bald Eagle State Forest in Center County. We have walked the nearby trails many times but each walk has its own surprises. As the Mid State Trail passes through the Penns Creek Wild Area it enters an old railroad tunnel. A thunderstorm had just rolled through Poe Valley and the warm summer air was meeting the cool air from the tunnel.
