ATV Florida Forum

we drove 16.5 hours to get there after working all day so we arrived at the cabin around 10am saturday morning. my wife and dad went to sleep and i took off exploring the very rocky mountains. it was sunny and 79 degrees so i put the hammer down, at some points hitting in the mid 60 mph range going up and coming down the mountain ;) you know how i do it ;D.

 it rained all night and day the next day so we didnt ride. we went into town and watched a movie, took a tour of the local neighborhoods, and got some lunch.

when we got home i started to build a fire for the guys that did go riding because i knew they would be wet and cold.

due to the rain we needed a front porch, so the local walmart had just the thing. they are building porches on them but they just opened up for buisness and still working on the cabins.

HAHA before you posted the one with you sitting on the rock it was like "whats the big deal" then it was "HOLY COW!" You can keep the rock climbing.... I'll stay at the track.  :-[

my dad was pointing out the coal that was covering the side of the mountain

I would love that! looks like a blast. I think I might plan a trip there for the end of the year.

the camera cant always catch the reality ;)

i will give a review for all to read at the end of the pics

the starters of these trails had really big ...........................you know

[attachment deleted by admin]

100 miles of trails

[attachment deleted by admin]

look at all the gouges and rubber from the tried attempts

[attachment deleted by admin]

this is called the stadium. i was pulling 2nd gear wheelies up these :Y

[attachment deleted by admin]

but due to people making new climbs they are going to close off all the climbs :( and there was trash everywhere >:( they say its the locals doing it! not the visitors.

[attachment deleted by admin]

its ok to climb the beatin climbs but you can see where people try new ones which will cause more erosion >:(

they say that you cant make it on a ute but i think its possible

[attachment deleted by admin]

some of the people we met and tagged along with for the day. great people! we got somewhat lost and had a ball ;)

[attachment deleted by admin]

my pops after we got back to the cabins! he was whooped.

[attachment deleted by admin]

this guy did a 82 mile ride with his buddies and a local guide. i wanted to go but due to fuel issues i was not able to make it that far.

[attachment deleted by admin]

my wife was looking at how $2.50 at the car wash could make them look like brand new 8)

[attachment deleted by admin]

bear was a great garbage disposal.

the other half.  they say it sleeps 8 but that would be tight. 4 would be ok

[attachment deleted by admin]

sweet pics it makes me want to go to kentuky for those trails!!!

Looks cool nice pics

i suffered some damage. the lower ball joint broke when i landed a jump. i did a 150ft hill climb (according to gps) and launched the lip at the top for some 6ft air and the 3rd time i did it ................snap!   thanks to some kind folks that we were riding with i got patched up and made it back to camp. THANKS Mutti ;)

[attachment deleted by admin]

and i lost 1 of my over sized mud hand guards.  but shes all cleaned up and still look perty ;)

this place is located in harlan county, KY. it is a very mountainess area, lots of rocks, water holes, steep climbs and easy climbs. more for utility quads due to water but either will do 90% of the terrain. you can ride on the roads.  i would go back on a utility with great brakes ;)

if anyone needs more info please PM me and i will get you details.

Great Pics Bro, I wish it wouldn't have rained on you.

Looks like a very cool place to ride, Nice Pictures Dreth, and that hill climb...Crazy :ThumbsUp.gif

looks like a blast! And a beautiful place to visit.

I would love to watch someone tackle that hill climb!!!!

too bad you didnt get a video or picture of that 150ft climb.

a lady got a pic of me landing the jump when i broke my ball joint :-\

the video has 56 views but i dont see anyone wanting to try it hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder why?

I'll try it lend me your bike and your Nuts ;D

Pics look realy nice....if you dont mind me asking what did the trip run you with the rooms?

rooms for 4 nights was like $350, my fuel bill was $408, food and supplies $100. it was way cheaper than i originally thought ;D
