never saw a single cop. There are so many quads there the cops couldn't jail em all. Check out tower city trail riders for legal riding in this region.

The hills at Tower City are decent. If you want real hillclimbs and free riding you should consider riding in Freeland, PA "pocanoe area". There is about 10x more trails then TC and it's alot less rocky in my opinion. If you're interested let me know. I'll probably be riding there this weekend. Nice pictures bye the way!

I appreciate the offer, but the poconos area is a tad bit farther for me to drive. Tower city area is only 2.5 hrs from my place in virginia.

Wow dude that is cool, next time you guys go up there send me a PM, I just got my new 4 wheeler a few weeks ago. I also have to get myself a trailer. Im afraid to haul it in the back of my truck because it isnt big enough. Ive been stuck to the trails around here and they are starting to bore me. I live near Chase in maryland.

I can be in warrenton in 25 minutes from my place.

Yeah, we have tons of trails & a track in my front yard. The neighbors love me. :D

Thats Awesome!! Nice place. Maybe when I get my project 440ex done we could hook up and ride? Do you ever go to Hatfield and McCoy Trails in WV?

Motocox
11-16-2005, 07:34 AM
I'm in Warrenton also. And have been to H/M many times.

Where do you ride? We have a bunch of trails down were I live. I am soon building a track. We go to H&M twice a year.

Where in Warrenton are you? I live on Meetze rd and have heard rumors of trails in the area, but I haven't really found any of them yet.

11-16-2005, 08:23 AM
hatfield mccoy is fun to do once a year. But its too damn far to drive. Hard to justify the trip when I have these trails here.

If you look closely you can see where I landed in the water on the prior attempt. Two real muddy spots near the waters edge. Yeah, it made a big splash.

11-17-2005, 09:52 PM
if you are ever back in the area, there are some monster hillclimbs in ashland that make the ones in tower city look like speed bumps. it is only a few more miles up I-81. send me a pm if you are interested.;)

TC is good place to ride, but I agree with Kilabanshee- our group prefers to haul a bit more north for much better riding experience. TC is still awesome!!

great pictures, thanks for sharing.

11-18-2005, 11:01 AM
those pics are actually from shamokin........I just fail to recognize each town & make a general reference to tower city as the location. We are planning on returning within the next few weeks. I will post on this thread when we have a travel plan.
