Yea this is the first rain in like a month. We really needed it

 

Well i got the fourwheeler loaded up and takin the old lady out riding tomorrow.. Gonna be heading up north to Trevorton,PA... Thinkin we might ride the trails down to an old town called Centralia.. Its an abandoned town with live coal fires burning underground.. Hopefully we can get down that far. It all depends on the weather.. I will be sure to take my camera and get some pictures of things! Go ahead and google centralia and or look it up on youtube.

 

Have fun! And be careful!

 

I will be. I always wanted to take my jeep up to centralia but i sold it before i was able to go. It is a pretty awesome place to see from what i have read and heard from people

 

I'm sure it is. But a long time ago I think I read an article about a person falling through an area that was burning underground. Could have been a different place though....

 

No thats the place your thinking of. I wont be riding on it at all. Just wanna check it out and see everything. Will walk if i have to

 

Well today was a pretty good day. I didnt get to ride to centralia but it was still fun. About an hour into our ride we came up on 3 younger kids riding. They asked if we knew how to get back to the hills so i told them to follow me. Well a long story short the one kids fourwheeler was acting up. Kept throwing the chain off and wrapping it up around the front sprocket. Had to use my winch to rip it back into place. That happend 3 times on the way back to the coal hills. Got back there and they said thanks and went on riding around.

So we went and messed around down in the one pit and when we came up to the hills again the kids flagged me down cause his chain popped again. These kids were no older than 15 or 16 so i towed him back to the truck and showed him how to fix it. Felt good to pass on some of my knowledge to others. They insisted on paying me but I just couldnt accept. Told them that I know what its like to be in that situation and not have someone stop to help and it was the least I could do for them. I tightened the chain for him and we rode for a while..

Anyway onto the pictures.


Loaded up and ready to go.
