Photo Gallery: Creekside Woods Fall Roast

November 10, 2016 by Purcey

On Saturday, November 5th, Andy Celins hosted a Fall Roast back at the Creekside Woods located on the border between Northeast Philadelphia and Bensalem. Andy extended a personal invitation my way and it was a great opportunity to finally check out all the hard work that Andy and the locals have been putting in. Although I only live a few minute drive from the trails, I haven’t paid them a visit in a number of years. I arrived late in the day and only spent about two hours shooting around and talking with everyone in attendance. You can check out a gallery of photos from the Creekside Woods Fall Roast after the jump.
