If you love getting your vehicle off the pavement and a little dirty, then you need to plan a trip to Black Mountain Offroad Adventure Area. There are trails for riders of all levels and for all types of offroad vehicles from dirtbikes to side by sides to rock crawlers. Dallas and his crew are located at the Evarts Trailhead, and you can find directions and their phone number on the website : www.blackmountainoffroad.com. Remember, they have an amazing zipline course, too!
If you've never taken a day and seen the sites of the Hatfield McCoy Feud, you should plan to do just that. And, on your way to the sites in West Virginia, make sure you stop by the McCoy well site in Hardy, Kentucky. Look into the same well we did, and imagine what is lying under the years' of sediment that tugged on our magnet! I am definitely going to go back with a bigger magnet!
And, thank you to my dear friend "Banjo" Neal James, who stopped in to help me close the show.
Here are a few pics I snapped during the filming of this episode :
Black Mountain has a pretty healthy population of black bears. |

On the way home from Harlan County, we stopped to take in the view high atop Pine Mountain in Letcher County. |
