             Saturday was a LONG & HARD day , so Speedy slept real good!  After a hot shower , 45 minute soak in a HOT tub & a good nights rest , I eat breakfeast at Granny's , wash & service my quad & await to see WHO will ride with Speedy today????
 
          By 8:ooam I see three atver's ready to explore the Pa. mountains with Speedy. Brian is bright eyed & bushy tailed & READY to RIDE! Todd ( 250 Polaris sport quad ) & Troy ( Z400 Susuki ) are locals who read about  our misadventures on our website & want to join the Speedball's for a fun day of atving.  They never really learned the trail systems that reach out in all directions , so almost anywhere we go will be NEW to them. Ain't that something??????
 
       So after introductions , we head out across the mountains towards McAdoo & the endless maze of trails that intertwine these  vast  Pocono mountain ranges. As the miles click off I realize these guys can ride pretty decent , so I head up & over mountain after mountain & not concerned about  WHICH trail I head up or down. They get stuck a few times on RxR tracks & high side on a few big boulders , but other than that , they rattle & bang those sport quads along with BIG smiles on their faces! LOL!  They are having a BLAST!
 
     Being only a half day ride , I head back across the mountains & towards the AC/DC coal banks in Shenandoah , that these locals have NEVER seen! As we rattle down into the valley  we stop at the depot for the Co-Gen's dump trucks & snap a photo to show folks HOW HUGE these monsters are!
 
Speedball's check out the HUGE dump trucks that transport the waste from the CO-GEN's that dot the Pa. mountain across the Pocono region.

Speedball's feel SMALL next to these HUGE trucks!

      As we head up & over the last ridge to the AC/DC coal banks , I watch as the two locals gaze in amazement at the SIZE of the hill climbs surrounding them.  When we get to the bottom of the HUGE front hillclimbs , I click the 750 V-Twin Brute Force 4x4 into 4x4 mode & BLAST up the hill to show these locals that it can be done! HE! HE!
 
 
In the photo below , Speedy peers down at the two locals ( center) who've NEVER even been to the AC/DC coal banks & they live in Frackville, Pa. LOL!

Will the locals be brave enough to challenge these hills?????

Brain & his Kawasaki 750 V-Twin Brute Force 4x4 ( above ) is the next to get up the courage & blasts up the coal bank! NO PROBLEM! Brian is grinning from ear to ear! LOL!

The locals say NO WAY & Brian escorts our newfound freinds to the top by the round about easy way. Their eyes get REAL BIG as they peer from the edge & say NO WAY would they try these hills! After watching Speedy do it a few more times & a LITTLE encouragement , they comtemplate actually doing it! LOL!

Troy & his Z400 Susuki  above conquers his fears & blasts up the coal bank with no problem!

Todd watches Donald Keen on his Honda XR650 DO IT!

Donald rode from St. Clair just to play on this mass array of hillclimbs at the AC/DC coal banks!

Todd & his Polaris 250 sport quad ATTEMPTS the coal bank & needs HELP to be rescued! He said his AS- was puckered so tight it strangled his hemroids! LMAO!   We asked hin IF he wanted to try it again ????? NO WAY!!!!!

   After letting the others buzz up & down the coal banks a few more times , my watch tells me we need  to head back across the mountain to Motel 6.  So reluctantly we rattle back to Frackville ,Pa. & after thanking Todd & Troy & Brian for joining Speedy today , I fire up the Speedball Express & head home! A GREAT DAY , with GREAT PEOPLE makes me happy to be alive! Can't wait to do it AGAIN!!! YAHOOOOO ! your AARP atv buddy!
