Wayne National Forest

Gary, didn't know Carbon Hill had a trail access, where is it?

Sounds like its going to be built. Everything passed council thurday nite, I wonder if riders are goi g to ride the road or have to wait for the trailhead. Check out ohio motorized trail association on face book.

There is UDT from the 5way intersection on mc that gets you a little closer I believe but you still have to ride some road .

OK Mr P I know where that is

Did a night run in the rain Friday night 6:30 ish untill almost midnite when the rain started to really come down hard..
Showing my friend Dave some more trail ..
Rode from p-3 , door run , after crossing 278 rode up MC to camp Williams , took a short break for a cold 25oz trail pop from the store ,over to Camp Ohio, back to airplane hollow , along mc , some UDT & road & took shortcut back to DR , ride dr untill heavy rain ....
Some notes -
Rain light whole time ...
Coming out of pines close to old gob pile now helipad encountered people wearing forest service uniforms with 4 chairs doing something in the dark...
Only one camper & no pop shack at Monday  trail head -
Camp Williams was looking busy & 25 oz trail pops in the store were very cold& refreshing for $2
Almost broke my wrist on UDT climbing back up UDT into door run after hitting something in the dark , lol
Went to inspect the "bridge out " trail behind p-5 & made a wrong turn , instantly stuck bad in the muck.
Dave pulled me out , good to have friends along
Quit around midnite, quads very clean when arriving home due to heavy rain
Only one pic , rain & darkness prevented any more

You never know about Rainger's.
Nice ride report

Two women Raingers and a guy I saw along with some chairs? And some sort of equipment .
Looked like one of the women was using natures restroom when I rolled up , the guy stopped me untill she could get back across the trail, lol
May they have been Indiana Bat watching ???

May they have been Indiana Bat watching ???

  

Riding this morning (Saturday )at Wayne approx. 8:30 - 9am ish
Door run to New Straitsville Trailhead & back
Parking lot 3 unless full .
.


Also rode Thursday night 7:30 pm to Friday am at Door Run

  

Arrived wth my oldest girl Saturday am at Wayne National forest Door Run area about 8:30 , on the trail by 9am

(Got to text my boyfriend-lol- See what you are missing !)
Said good morning to the Indiana Bats from a distance this time

About 1 hr in to the ride Punishment struck while doing Donuts in an old gob pile play area   

Learned important lesson  - Don't do Donuts in a RzR!    
Tires bit into dirt and RZR did a very slow tip onto its side .
After about 20 minutes , a strained back , and much needed assist from my daughter tipping rhe RzR back on all 4's ,we were rolling again   
Went through Moday creek , no takers there yet , No pop shack either - Sad that its gone   
Made an uneventful trip up the Main Corridor . Checked out the Airplane Hollow cemetery & decided to do a drive thru at Camp Williams

Next - Camp Ohio connector & drive- Thru


Camp Ohio quiet these days

Back on up the Main Corridor towards New Straitsville   
(Got to call the boyfriend )

Punishment awaits hidden if you make any wrong turn around here


The Main corridor to  New Straitsville trail is nice this time of year ( and bumpy in spots , too) except from airplane hollow to the woods section .


Old mine shaft from the late 1800's




(Got to text and call the Boyfriend & the little sister-lol)

Arrive in the ATV Friendly town of New Straitsville -



Pulled in to Bakers Family Restaurant & Pizzeria

Family owned & operated .Real neat decor inside , a rather large menu selection besides pizza,
Just be patient , food is worth the wait. Small friendly staff .

There is some history of the area on display along the wall

Equipped facilities with reading material !



Stromboli was $11 , most of it ended up in a to go box for later .
They also have floats & sundaes

Afterward it was back down the road ,

Pass through Begleys ATV campground

And back down the main corridor towards Door Run & Purdam areas




All the old crappers at the trailheads have been recently removed & new ones constructed

Rode most of Door Run & the Purdam Loop
The latest round of storms dropped more trees into the waterfall gorge



Got a message that Resq was in the area cruising , decided to meet up
Went back up Purdam connector toward P-3 to wait on his arrival .


Once Resq arrived in his shiny Orange RZR we headed off to run 1/2 the Door Run outer loop & the legal Haydenville road loop
First have to cross the rusty water crossing ( which is supposed to be closed for bridge construction but is still open)



It's now posted legal to ride to and from Haydenville




To the carry-out , they have trail pop !


After the break it was back down the road through town & onto the Door Run trail

Rode back to Door Run , thru the middle & back to parking lot 3 .
About 7pm . Almost 10 hrs out , lunch , 85 miles on the odometer , a very sore strained back & a good time along with beautiful weather !








You can buy the scraps by weight for firewood




Where the old rt 33 ends

And under the new rt 33

   

Next time I'm in Haydenville I now know where to pick up some tattoo supplies.   

All the lower dorr run bridges are replaced, trails are open. Stopped in carbon hill at the carry out. Great folks running the place. Anything you need.

Beaver pond shortcut from p5 to outer dorr run loop open now as well.

Enjoy!

Mr. P enjoyed all the pictures along with captions.

I hear Nelsonville is trying to become ATV friendly

Glad to hear all the bridges are done. maybe I can get out soon. Got all my front diff. parts today time for reassemble

I may ride later tonight in the rain .
Installed the mud tires and doing winch wiring now

Winch all wired up , heading down to ride this morning

Arrived in Door Run around 9am with the RZR and Krusty to check out the fall colors and the 12 new bridges installed


Found plenty of both (fall colors and new bridges )along with an awesome day of riding (70+ Miles )




Some of the numerous oil & gas wells in our state


Older narrow bridges



New wider bridges ( they now force you to take them -eliminated the bypasses)
