WICKED TRAIL in the PA WILDS

[@mikelaughlin270]

That was awesome.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Thanks, Mike!

[@sherripifer1816]

I loved how you fast forwarded cutting and clearing both trees! It made me chuckle. 😂

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Glad you liked that part!

[@ernieforrest7218]

Ive been visiting that area since i was 15 years old, and im now 89. Our original camp was located in what is now Quehanna Wilderness area. There were over 300 camps, homes and farms located within that region, all of them destroyed. Our current camp is located near Driftwood, on Mix Run rd. Ive been on many jeep safaris thruout that region. Its always best to have a second vehicle along with you on those types of trails in case of an incident. Especially with older individuals, its a long walk to get back out at times. I would say that this video wasent filmed within the Quehanna area.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

There sure is a bunch of history up in that area. There are a few relics from the Curtis Wright era too. My father worked at Piper Aircraft up there until they moved operations to Florida. It still is a beautiful area!

[@ernieforrest7218]

@@getoutwithrockandsherri Yes, PIper Aircraft was originally located in Lock Haven. So happens that i live less than a mile from their current location in Vero Beach Florida. They are the largest employer in Vero Beach.

Cool! I had a Cherokee Sport in Fern Green, from that last year they made them. It was definitely fun. Thanks for taking us along!

Great video, that’s my favorite trail in the PA wilds!

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

It is amazing up through there!

[@mrunneradventure5369]

@@dustinyetzer do you know the trail name? Or a point of entry

[@abc-ed1nr]

Yea where can I find this trail

[@Jakew241]

Do you guys have any advice for finding these roads/trails ive been watching your videos for a little now and I would love to go on some of these. Awesome video by the way

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Hi Jake! There are many trails near this area. Here is a general location to get started looking around. 41.30611, -78.23467 Look for a trail that crosses a small stream and enjoy the ride.

[@PapawGrandmaAdventures]

Awesome looking trail and great video!

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Thanks! It sure was a blast!

Hello from Butler Pennsylvania the Birth Place of the Jeep. The XJ is the Best J. If yinz are ever in Butler or Armstong County hit me up I'd love to show yinz some good Jeepin.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

@@Mr.XJ.96 We WILL look you up! Thanks.

Its a good thing shes loves you or she'd hurt you right now lol 😅, good video guys, cheers.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

True that!😂

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Beautiful trail. 7 years ago I had a WJ and he liked to collect branches like this on 30:20. But it hasn't happened to me yet on the XJ...yet. 😁

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

That one was nasty for sure! I had one knock the fuel line off a year ago! But . . . that's part of the adventure! 😃

[@steelcityrailroad5095]

Could you tell me where that walking bridge is? We have a camp in Bennezette PA and that looks like a neat place to take my son fishing and might be fun to walk over the bridge. Looks like the Sinamohonin river. Great 4 wheeling vid. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

I think if you drive towards Driftwood, there may be several cross-over bridges, real easy to find. Use caution though, as some of these may private.

[@troythomas2024]

Awesome video, thanks.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Thanks Troy!

[@BrenVen-z2f]

You told Dennis and I about this trail when we met up on Graham Rd. We weren’t able to do it went we went to Benezette that week but we are headed back that way in October. Would love to do it then. Does the trail have a name or do you have a starting point you can share?

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Shoot me an e-mail when you can at [e-mail]

[@JeffHarper-uk2xz]

Do or can you, do a video of where the trail heads start on a map? i like your videos. Would like to be able to find which road and where the trail starts .

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

@@JeffHarper-uk2xz if I get back down that way, I may be able to track the route. I did not save any way points.

If you ever want some other old retired farts to go with you, we're up for it

Wonderful!

Where is this? We are finishing up a CJ rebuild and I have been looking for places to go. Most of the videos I’ve seen on KZbin are just dirt roads that barely need 4wd. This looks like a fun place!

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

@stevegreen319 unless you are familiar with the Moshannon State Forest and the Quehanna Wilderness, these trails are very hard to find. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@Flatardovonbraun]

@@getoutwithrockandsherri Would a stock Height excursion 4x4 on good tires make it? I am about an hour away from this area.

[@bobsterner5597]

Looks like maybe you should check your transmission mount. Looks a LIL loose.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Thanks Bob; I noticed that too. I will have to take another closer look this week. I am changing the front wheel bearings too! Never ending things to do on an old XJ! 😂

[@creedskimmer]

Does this trail have a name? Looks fantastic

[@dustinyetzer]

@@creedskimmer us locals call it “Millers” all the trails that come down that mountain are named after the streams they cross.

[@davidmcpherson9260]

Nice trail but I think I'd rather do it in the fall after a couple of hard freezes....less bugs....

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

@@davidmcpherson9260 You may be onto something! We had a few bugs for sure; no ticks that we know of. That ride would be epic in the fall!

[@xavior718]

Is there dispersed camping along that trail?

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

@@xavior718 I don't believe so.

[@markd5350]

Is this private property or is this yet more 'offroading' in on public property to so everybody loses more access?

[@SeleneSung-x2u]

Hey there！🥰We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some car related items. Do you accept sponsored products?

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Not interested at this time.

[@jamesbean7560]

Why take that big vehicle back in there??? Too much trouble. Many other options. Hike in with a pack mule or horse.....or trail bike.....use back pack .....take small tent and food.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

There are those who take horses up through there, and a few hikers. I'm not able to hike out that far anymore, so the old Jeep gets us where we want to go.

[@jamesbean7560]

[@mikelaughlin270]

Some people like to drive off road and/or overland. That was the theme of the video, don't be such a dunce.

[@jamesbean7560]

@@mikelaughlin270 To me its pretty stupid....they had to use a chain saw, winch, etc.....why take a vehicle through there just because you're not willing to use the appropriate method....also its unclear what they were doing it for....hunting? looking for ginseng? photography? camping? fishing?.....also there's too much messing up wilderness areas that should be left pristine.

[@mikelaughlin270]

@@jamesbean7560 It's called overlanding and it's perfectly lawful to do in that area as it is sanctioned and managed by DCNR/Pa Game commission. Cutting a fallen tree does nothing to harm the wilderness. The fact that they cleared the path would make it more accessible to those who might want to hike, bike, or go in there on horseback. The fact that they cleared the fallen trees could potentially aid in a search and rescue operation at a later date and time should a hiker, biker, horseback rider, or hunter have some type of medical emergency or become lost. A cleared trail would allow first responders to reach a person in need substantially faster and perhaps save a life.
