Here are some pictures of your Speedball buddies enjoying their adventure into the rugged Pocono Mountains! Seven of us launched from Motel 6 to spend time with good people & enjoy each others company & to see WHAT new trails & sights we could find ?????????

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.

The view from this cliff is BREATHTAKING!!!!

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.

Speedball's check out this hunter's shack .

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!

Joe gets a helping hand from Brian over this log.

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!

CLICK TO ENLARGE!

This lake is at least THIRTY FEET below normal levels!

Joe checks to see just HOW LOW this lake IS?????

CLICK TO ENLARGE!

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????????
