Allen is getting his machine from Crumpler Friday morning. Chris has good business.
Hard for me to pass on Skyline - great accommodations and food at incredible price.

Great 3 days if riding. Allen, Clayton, Scott, and myself. Friday went to tower near Christmas tree farm then Tommy Ridge. Great supper at Skyline at 8pm. The ATV room and meals special is incredible. $90 for room with 2 beds, 2 entrees, 1 app, 1 bucket of beer. Sat rode Unimpruvef Whitny road to a lot of other trails to get to BR66. Chaos due to logging but Scott finally found a great trail that led to BR66. Went through both Sophia Tunnels. Tunnel 1 water is not as deep as tunnel 2. Tunnel 1 railroad ties are also nearer than years ago so very easy to drive over. Ate lunch at Gogas (Allen didn’t want Gas at Chinese) and headed back to Ghent via assorted other trails. Ended the day with me slashing a tire trying to go up a deep rutted trail with exposed metal culvert. 10 big tire plugs worked fine. Ate supper again at Skyline. I love that place. Sunday was a somewhat quick ride of the big loop to waterfalls near the red roof church. Spent 45 minutes clearing trees with chainsaw. Most of that time was trying to unwedge the stuck saw. Too much work. Ended my weekend with a flat trailer tire after the VA NC line. Nothing more fun then laying on hot asphalt by the highway. Lesson learned to change trailer tires more often then 8 years. My first trailer flat ever. Great weekend. !!!

What a great ride out of skyline. With randy and Scott great to have Scott ride with us he is always a hooot. Randy always leads us on great rides.Ended a whole lot better than April 9 th ride with me having a stroke on trails in middle of a snow storm. Have a new upcoming driver in Clayton. He drove great all the fenders still on x3.

It was a great weekend indeed! Super great weather, rained at night so no dust, great food and trails. Going through both tunnels was a first for me. First ride for me in awhile and was great to See Allen,Clayton and Randy. Clayton did great on the trails!

Sounds like a great trip.... Sorry I could not make it but family had plans for my birthday... I agree with Randy, Skyline is hard to beat with accommodations...
The Skyline ride must have been better than the Williamson ride since I did not see any ride reports from the Williamson trip a few weeks ago...
I plan on trying my best to ride on the next Skyline trip...

Davy whenever you want to do Skyline again let me know. I love that place. The ATV rider special with room, 2 meals, appetizer, and bucket of beer for $90 is incredible. Lots of riding available.
Justice WV is also great and cheap but it’s further away.

Glad made it through both Sophia tunnels 2 weeks ago. Lonnie said he heard Timbers were blocking now. Looks like Tunnel 1 is closed again.

Well, at least I got to ride through it once. Sketchy now for sure.
