Once again we head out towards Shenandoah
& come in a differemt way & view the backside of the monster AC/DC hillclimbs. We only pass by these hillclimbs
& head off to explore & show some of our newer members the wonders contained within these Pa. mountains.

After leaving the Shenandoah city limits , we head north & discover
this WONDEROUS view from a cliff that overlooks the beautiful valley below. We are so high above that we almost feel like
birds flying over & peering down at the scene below us.

The ice storms from this past winter have littered our
normal routes with MANY fallen trees & at times we have to reroute ourselves & sometimes even cut a new trail entrance
, when the regular entrance is stacked with too many logs to make it a viable entraance to where we want to go.
| BOY IS THIS LAKE LOW!!!!!!!!!! About 30 feet LOW! |

This lake is at least THIRTY FEET below normal levels!
| Joe checks to see just HOW LOW this lake IS????? |

We are totally surprised by how LOW this reservoir has become despite
all the rain we've had over the last few weekes! How low was this reservoir BEFORE all this rain????????

Once we head out into the deeper sections of the Pocono
Mountains we find hunters shacks in the strangest & knarliest & hardest places to access.
It's fairly dusty , so the pace is modest as we explore & traverse mountain after mountain
to see what we can see . Eric & His Polaris 500 Scrambler is constantly buzzing us like a bumble bee & Randy &
his Brute Force drops the hammer ever chance he gets to see IF the dealer has fixed the carb problem ?????? Richard &
his 700 EFI Polaris Sportsman hits every mudhole he can find! LOL!
By 3:00pm Eric , Randy & Richard have had enough for
one day & depart for home while Speedy , Mike , Joe & Brian refuel & head off to explore & hopefully find
MORE new trails to share with our Speedball atv buddies.
One of the first wonders we see is the reservoir displayed BELOW & to the LEFT
that show what happens to even big lakes when they DON't get enough water to stay full!
| Speedball's check out the rear of the lake & WOW!! |

This is a view from the back side of the lake where the water
enters the lake ! NO fresh water can be seen entering the lake ! NO wonder it's drying up! WOW!
