15 October 2017 ANF Visit

We were in town with a vacation day on Monday. We knew heavy rains were forecast for the late afternoon so we decided to stay near home and spend time on trails in the Allegheny National Forest.

Besides enjoying the woods, we spotted a non-scary snake crowding the trail and found a couple lonely caches.

Our luck didn't hold out. The heavy rains came and with them came lost power. We expected we were in trouble when we spotted these downed lines.

Our local rural electric provider already has a crew on work with this downed line. Unfortunately, there aren't many crews to tackle large outages. We had our LED's and blankets. Eventually the power came back.
