Hey im interested but I got to see if I can get off work for that day. Im in lancaster so its about 2hrs away from me. Ill let you know for sure as soon as work lets me know if I have that day off

drgnhrt1979

ok, if you can get the day off, you can just show up at the meeting point. I will be posting an update a few days b4 the trip with any important information I can think of to make it as easy as possible for everyone

ok sounds good. Should I put a CB in my jeep for this trip? I have a cell phone but I dont think Ill have signal there

drgnhrt1979

CB is up to you, couldn't hurt to have one though FRS would be faster and cheaper to get... we will be using the FRS radios also

I have Verizon and i get a signal up there, a friend of mine has sprint and he was fine when we were there in may...

I visited Centralia this past weekend I was amazed about the story and the area. It is a very cool place to visit and it is a complete shame of what happened there during the coal fire.

I would like to come back up and explore some of the area some more. I am in the middle of putting a lift kit on my jeep at the moment and if I can finish it up this week I will def try to make the trip. I only have cell phone but could probably pick up something else for this trip.

Could you please give an idea on the trails on the trip? I did not visit with my jeep so I could only walk on some of the trails but it does look like Dirtbikes and ATV's run the show up there.

I am in the area, but cant make it this trip. Any maps of the area??

Chuck

I heard that centralia and shamokin, which isnt too far from there has a lot of open areas of land that you can wheel on. I am assuming from back in the big coal mining days. Anyone have any idea where you can go leagally up there?

Chuck

drgnhrt1979

the maps i look at and use are on google maps, just type in centralia, PA and it will pull it up for you

well as far as centralia goes, there is nothing i have found that says its not legal, so i would say that, that it is all legal, however you have to be aware of where your at so you dont stray onto posted or private land.

mdcmn7

That is kinda what I was thinking was the case. There is a toyoto group that has posted some pretty cool pics from the area. It looked like there was some pretty decent hill climbs and some mud.

Post some pics when you guys get back. Do you ever use GPS?

Chuck

drgnhrt1979

yea, but my GPS is stupid, it tells me i am off road when i already know that one LOL... I have some pics from when i was down there in may, follow the links in my sig to see those, I will be adding to them with this trip
