I had an idea.. a moonlight bike ride through the rail trails of Sussex county! Ron got our mountain bikes all ready and we hit the road.

What a night!

Such beauty around us!

Bruce and Linda met us, and we rolled towards the setting sun.

This warm fall day was the perfect time for a cruise through the colorful woods.

And I got an eyeful when I spied this guy. (KMitchell, you'll be glad to know I let him roam.. hey, it's his woods!)

Before we knew it, the darkness had settled in.

During a little break to sip from two flasks, I learned that these rail trails actually close at dusk. And just about that time a truck pulled up and asked if we were okay. I thought we were busted!!

Halfway we stopped for a little break to sip from two flasks. Apple pie brandy and coconut whiskey should help us warm up for the last 8 miles home.

We found some interesting mushrooms, but rolled on. Our friend Jeannine said they look like edible shaggy mane mushrooms.
