what ever happened to the pics?!?!?!?!?1

 

Sorry bout that, home life has been a lil crazy with the newborn and gettin custody of my 9yr old son... I will get them up asap... but for now in my sig are links to the same pics I will be posting here...

 

oh. ok didnt know that. dont worry about it too much tehn haha. good luck

 

Some pics I took...

This set is from the Closed section of Rt 65 and the cracks caused by the heat from the still burning underground mine fire. I think you can see some of the smoke rising from the ground in a few of the pics

 

A few shots from the 1st "trail" that we went on... at the bottom we saw on the far ridge a small windmill field...

 

some shots from the 2nd "trail" we went on...

 

When I went down, I met up with a guy in a YJ, here are a few of the pics he took...

 

The guy with the YJ brought a friend with him... here are a few of the pics taken by that guy...

 

I am still waiting for 2 more sets of pics from the other 2 jeeps that were there with us that day... we had my XJ, a 95 YJ and 2 KJ's...

Here are some of the best poser pics I could find of each... from top to bottom is my XJ, the YJ, my friends KJ, and another KJ that met up with us from VA follwed by a group shot...

 

there are the pics i promised... sorry it took so long to get them up, we all had a great time and maybe doing another run down there again later this summer...

 

looks like a interesting place to go. Can all the trails be navigated in 2wd? They didint look callenging at all.

 

yea, the ones we were on that day could be done in 2wd, in fact, i spent 99.9% of the time in 2wd. there was a small rocky section that i had to put it in 4hi to get through cuz we came around the bend and with my lil stock tires i didnt have enough momentum to make it, so rather than back up and go again, i went to 4hi and made it. and when we came out at the end, i used 4hi there to even though i knew i was gonna high center... other than that, i used 2wd the whole time... now to go back and explore some more...

it was more eerie than interesting, but the closed section of road was very interesting to see. as far as what is left of the town, there are a few houses and one main intersection and thats about it it.

Looks like you guys had a good time,
i'm not to far from there and never heard of it untill i came across this thread.
Looks like it would be a realy interesting place to explorer, just the history of it, and to see it would be realy cool.
please let me know if you guys plan to go back to further explore, would love to tag along.

I defiantly plan on going back... there is still more there that I had not seen well trail wise... the one section we went on we explored off to the right, next time I go i want to explore to the left on that trail...

Date of the next trip TBD... I will post here again when I decide to go...

and yes, you are more than welcome to come with us
