ON August 26, 2007 I finally got to take the ride with my son in law. Jason had to borrow a ride, due to the fact that his was in the shop! He borrowed my Mom's! We hauled our rides down to Middlesboro, KY. If you've never been there here's how to get to the trail head...... Turn like your going into the Park Headquarters. Turn to go up to the Pinacle.... make a right turn onto st. rt. 988. Go to the stop sign, turn left. Bare right onto rt. 188 then bare right again (still 188 but it's in a curve)... go to the end of the state road....... keep going.... road is not kept up... very rough but you can make it. Find a wide spot and unload. Your at the beginning of "Mountain Drive". If you take the trail that goes to the right up the mountain..... then bare left you will make the loop. You can find a map of what I'm talking about if you google Middlesboro and look for these route numbers.
It really is a good ride....... especially what they call "the mud pit" that is on top of the mountain on your right. Be on the lookout for it! FUN! I would show you a picture.... but I'll loose this entire post..... yet again!
Anyhow we did that ride then crossed over KY. rt 1344 on to another reclaimed strip job. You may have to look for it...... but there is a bridge there that is called "the bridge to nowhere". It's a $5 million dollar bridge that Ky built.... it butts into RT 119 between Pineville and Harlan..... but the only way to get on it is from the strip job! I've heard that they built it in hopes of someday having an industrial park up there. I know that they need jobs in that area... but for now it is one fantastic ATV place!
