I hooked up with a fellow member and we found some fun little holes to play in. This was not my first time off road by far, but my first time with this Xj....

anyways, take a look and let me know what you think!

Try and keep your momentum up and you could have easily climbed that little hill.

I was worried about rolling.... and it was soft and slick.... tight between trees, not a good combo for my daily driver....LOL.... PLUS, it would have helped to have a good spotter since I really could not see anything with the nose pointed striaght in the air...LMAO

Yeah, there are current post about it. I read them a few weeks ago. Its all public land, owned by a pa coal company. I even read post where local law enforcement encouraged people to come up, just help with the serverely depressed economy up there.

just google shamokin, tower city, miners ville, centralia, treverton, they are all connected by trails. Shamokin even has two life line heli's mainly for offroad accidents. It is a major atv/dirtbike riding area. Tons of videos on you tube of the area also.

I am sure there is a ton of trails once you get that far north,. Me being much farther south in PA, (down near the MD line) , it is actually a bit of a drive for me. Infact, Rasuch Creek is about an hour closer then Shamokin.... the cost of wheelin' there is cheaper then the extra gas to travel further for free trails..... Least that is how I see it......

Thank you for the comments on the video though.... I am working on a better quality, much bigger project that I do not think will work on YouTube..... Does anyone know of another video sharing site that I can use to upload larger, longer, higher quality videos?
