Are we talking about Lignite/Fenwick mines? If so, stay the hell outa there as well. They keep closing the trails due to trail abuse. If people keeop doing what they do, there will not be any trails left. Five years ago we had 10 good trails around here now we have one.

I also lead a ride through Bobcat(Blacksburg/Brushy Mountain) the day before it was closed for good
I got to wheel at Mt City TN/Callalantee just before it closed.
I've seen way too many trails closed lately due to stupidity of others or the land was sold.

Yep, I forget the route numbers but I know its 6 something, maybe 615? Our club made the last legal run through there before they closed it for good.

Lignite was a good trail,why exactly did they close it?I've heard theres now a campground there or something, and yeah 615 sounds right.Also,why did bobcat get closed?I know you can ride to the gate on brushy mtn,and the last time i was up there it looked like someones made a bypass by the gate.
The lower section of Bobcat, Coal hill, the Gauntlet etc were on private property, when the property sold the new owner shut it down.
Bobcat was a fun easy trail.




Mt City/Callalantee
This is "Welder"


I followed this tube buggy through "Armor All" until my CPS gave out while I was high centered on a log in the pouring rain!

I'm headed to Black Mountain ORV in Harlan Kentucky this weekend(fri-mon) if anyone has an extremely flexible schedule and discretionary income, I'd love to have you come along. It is a 4:30 drive from Roanoke. 6800 acres of trails and only $25 for a month long pass to use them. Camping and cabins are available.

Anyone heard of or been to crowells gap in boones mill?Apparently its legal and decently fun.It starts on 220 and runs you to boones mill rd in franklin county.
Lol crowells gap...very famillar with it..hahah it's literally just a very steep gravel/ dirt road, and by step I mean if you hit your breaks to hard going down, prepare to start sliding and possiblely wrecking..it's steep, but coming back up you can make it in 2wd, you just have to get a food run at it and have some momentum...I made it in 2wd twice, rest the time I went up in tin 4hi and crawled slowly..it's takes like all of 5 minutes to actually do the fun part And there's no legal trails off of it...it's just an old farm road taks you from 220 back to windy gap man.lbeen up and down it a couple times, even flexed up on the embankment.

It's really is. This kid I go to school with was like, lets go to crowells gap , I was like what the crap is that. He says it's this steep gravel and dirty hill , it's so steep if you slide, your dead, which, it's is pretty stinking steep, buts it's like nothing, and takes all too short. Like i said, all of 5 minutes to do the actual fun stuff
