Greetings from Pittsburgh!
New Rivendell owner exploring some local trails on a previously enjoyed Rambouillet.
Still getting the fit dialed in, but I'm really enjoying the bike on a mix of paved/unpaved terrain.

Thought I would share some images from three recent rides.
Little Boston, Eliza Furnace, and Buffalo Creek

Hopefully I've downsized these enough for easy viewing.
See you out there,
Chuck

No, I can view HEIC images on Windows 11 using the  Paint application from Microsoft.

I miss the pretty blue of the 2nd-gen Rambouillet. I shod mine with 1.35" Kojaks under SKS fenders, but knowing then what I know now, I'd have installed 38 mm+  RH extralights; what a fun firm-surface all-round bike that would have been! I did something similar with RH 26C1.75" Naches Passes on my custom Riv 26" wheel fixed gear.

What is that massive-stone corbeled arch neo-Mycenaen structure?

That is the Buena Vista furnace from 1847- https://www.indianacountyparks.org/parks/buena_vista_furnace/history.aspx

The thirty-foot high furnace used local iron ore, limestone and charcoal to produce approximately 400 tons of pig iron per year. Approximately 61 men and boys, and 30 horses and mules labored at Buena Vista. The ’pig iron’ was hauled by wagon to the Pennsylvania Canal at Ninevah near Johnstown.

Mistakenly called out the Eliza Furnace which is a bit further along the Ghost Town Trail.
