Back From Shamokin/Treverton....

[ITSTOCK]

I was holding the camera the entire day so very few pictures of 4 wheelers, but lots of the dirtbikes I was with. These are some of the biggest hill climbs in the area, here is a quick teaser pick before I find the other memory card....

This hill dips down about 30 feet before going up, the rider is on a CR450F

and a yz250...

The pictures really don't do the hill justice :eek2:

The trail riding was great also. There were plenty of puddles, but the way it drained it seemed like 1/2 the trail was dry, while the other half remained soaked. We left friday night, got there at 3 in the morning, stayed up drinking untill 6, than went riding from 10:30 untill 8:30, with a 30 minute lunch break. On Sunday we went back out at 10 and didn't come back untill 4.

For anyone that is interested in making a trip up there, DO IT. There are an infinate amount of cool things to discover and explore, and great technical/challenging OR nice and easy trails. There are all kinds of hill climbs, water holes, pits, almost every terrain you can imagine.

I love that place

[deathman53]

I was there about 4 years ago, the whole place is cool to ride, we rode from shamokin to treverton, then went to some other pits, down the tracks, through the woods and to some more. Some of the abandoned mining equipment is sick there, you ever see a fan bigger than your truck??????? I did and couldn't believe it at first.

Look up Trevorton using Mapquest [and that is spelled with an "o" not an "e"] and from that search select Trevorton Fines Pond. Mapquest can give you directions then. Hope this helps.

Hey thanks......i didnt know you could do that with mapquest.

i will have to get up there in the next couple weeks.

Your welcome, I'm glad the info helped. As I re-read my above post I hope no one took me the wrong way when I said it's spelled with an "o" not an "e" I wasn't trying to be smart about it which someone could take that way. I just know from doing searches in Map Quest that if you spell it with an "e" you will not find it. I know when I spell it fast I usally put an "e" in it like this Treverton but it really is spelled Trevorton. Well anyway I hope that you have a great time if you get a chance to ride there.

i didnt take it wrong.......it was all good.

learn something new everyday.....LOL
