Theres a spot right off of I-78 that not to many know about.

If your going east on 78 at the Summit lawn exit you make a right, go through the S turns and make your first right (road starts with an L). Follow this all the way through the driveway at the end and you'll end up on a trail in the middle of the woods.

I have personally knocked on the door of the property owners and talked to them face to face asking them for permission to use their driveway to access the property (which is also theirs). They not only said yes (as long as your not destructive or super loud) but they said their son has made a few trails already. Their son has a wrangler on 37" MT/R's.

There are a bunch of easy trails back there and also a bunch of uncut trails that would be rated Purple (blue black) or Black at RC.

Hmm, you wouldn't happen to still be in the area and willing to show me where you are talking about, would you? I live on Lehigh mountain, the one across from South Mountain.

I really want to check it out and see what's there, but I wont be doing any wheeling until I replace my blown axle seals in the rear. I am waiting for two days off, just incase I break something else fixing the seals, like I usually do. Unfortunetely I work tomorrow, but sometime this week I want to head up there and check it out. It's midnight right now and I don't want to text anybody this late without knowing whether they're awake or not, but feel free to text me at 48four-five97-0six11. My name is Jake, feel free to text anytime. I've only seen a dozen modified Xj's in the past two years in the area, so it'd be nice to meet someone else who shares the same hobby.

I would be happy to show y'all where this place is but I need to get my Jeep on the road first. I cant catch a break with my steering box, if I fix one thing another just has to break. If Im gonna show you though it needs to be before thursday (I move on thursday).

Ok, I had a feeling it was you but I wasn't sure. I would be able to go up tomorrow to check it out if you're available. I just replaced my entire cooling system and the damn power steering cap broke and is puking PS fluid everywhere... I can't find a replacement online so it is what it is for now...
