Talking Pennsylvania really does have the worst roads!

Went on an exploration yesterday near Rausch Creek Offroad Park in Tremont Pennsylvania. Originally I was planning on seeing if any groups there were willing to let me join them. A long shot without reward, but I wasn't willing to head home just then. I headed north about 20 miles and decided to try and get lost for old times sake. I started trying to find the smallest roads possible and eventually got to one very interesting one. No winter Maintenance was the only marker on the road.



The road kept going up, it was wrapping around the mountain and got smaller as it progressed.





At the top of this road was a flat area with a place for a camp fire and parking. A very nice secret if you ask me.

I went down the other side and came to another road. This one looked even more fun. Even needed 4Lo.

It was a little smaller of a road. Not much room for a wider truck.



Posing a little haha




Coming down the other side I came to a tree that was down. Yanked it out of the way and I was on my way with my adventure.



Stock suspension yall

I would have had some trouble if I hadn't taken off the running boards a few weeks ago.

Here's a video of the first road. Called Rattlesnake Road.


And the second road, which had no name.


The audio is messed up and it looks like I was going faster than I really was. It's had to go fast in 4lo.

You haven't been west of the Mississippi if you think that is a bad road
cool trails

Glad you had a good time...just be careful when wheeling alone (realize you tried to link up with a group)....I know from experience it can get you when you least expect it...long walk home in Alaska...thankful for the midnight sun during the summer

AAhh, that looks a little bit smoother than Interstate 65 in Birmingham, AL. No that's not a joke either!!! Good looking trail you found.
