i run wellsville a bit on the 250. not too good an idea being crippled up and old
got lost again. so i just went back out the powerline.
was supposed to meet up with some co workers and i pulled into what i thought was derricks truck but it was not his truck, simply was one just like it. hey it was right by the powerlines where i thought we were supposed to meet......
i left my truck in some random guys yard and rode through his property out to the powerline... figuring they were gathering up.. whoooopsie... derp derp derp...
that was an interesting conversation when i got back. they just thought it was broken down...
i can not find my garmin.. and i looked for it quite a bit since we were with ford at the auto show deal... just so i could map this place..so i will be buying a new setup. any ideas for an easy to use trail mapper? mine was/is a hard to use old school pos anyway.
wellsville is definitely bad ass. quite a bit of traffic out there....mostly four wheelers and sxs's
but wellsville is also definitely sketchy.
theres potential for sure.
currently, i have a place i rent over by bowerstown and riding the crazy shit local to our yard there. i was able to run with some suzuki sidekick guys a few trips (they were visiting from out of state) but once aep brought the kason crews out for the powerlines they kicked us out. those guys were natives to this area but did not do wellsville even when they lived here.....
its a tough call. once i get a new gps lined out i plan to go there with some locals. there is more legend and lore to that place then i cared to consider, i work with people that actually live there and no one knows anything for sure.....
the guys that physically live in wellsville dont off road at all....which is crazy...but there are several others from outside of carrollton and scio and once we get on the same shift i will do some exploring and mapping..
i will likely have the bronco and my ranger for sure. maybe some other stuff by then.
if someone wants to do a beater build, depending on my work cycle, it should be cake and cheeap as long as i am still working in this area next year.
and odds are that will be the case.
though i plan on being closer to mechanics town if i am still here in the spring. so group build... find a truck and maybe do welded diffs and cut fenders with junkyard spring lift and craigslist tires and i can store it till ya fly in and wheel the wee out of it.
which is possible at my current residence...but i had someone offer me some land options over near mechanicstown which is closer to wellsville.
so thats better.
definitely plan on going.
