Who wants to get together?

Frogman · January 31, 2009, 10:38:13 PM

I want to go. I know the guys in our WV, PA group have been looking forward to getting together with our F&F friends all year. I have been like a kid before Christmas the past few weeks. Now I learn that Santa Claus has cancelled Christmas this year. Bummer!! Big time BUMMER!! KY would be good for the guys who have already purchased their out of state license! Come on guys let's get something put together and salvage this thing!! If there is anything I can do to help just let me know!!

Here's a few pics of what it looks like over at Redbird. It goes for miles and miles. If you come in from the south side it's mostly reclaimed strip mines. If you come in from the north, it's mostly steep hardwoods with not as much user access. ATVs can be used on part of it, and liscensed vehicals can drive on any of the gravel roads thruout the area. If you get your ATV in the wrong area you WILL get a ticket. The game wardens watch it pretty good because of all the elk in there. If you run into an active mining area turn around and don't go thru it.

Whats the plan? Are we going to go to Redbird WMA and stay at Pine Mountain State Resort Park: Lodge?? That works for me. Just talked to PABrushwolf, he's coming, Alscalls is in?? Should we start reserving rooms??
