Anyone who rides in the Trevorton PA area post your pics and write your expierience!

I'm gonna ride there this year. I'm buying my pass for reading anthracite monday. I'm mainly going to ride out of Pottsville tho its closer.

Yea I believe I'm getting the permit for reading also. Do you know if you need to have your quad registered and insured?

You`re "supposed" to have it registered and insured. But what I do is just use my tow vehicles paperwork to get the permit. I`ve been riding there for years and I`ve never had my paperwork checked on the ATV. As long as you stay on RAC land and don`t wander onto State Land you`ll be fine.

I wanna make it out this year. Would be nice to ride with a guy who knows the place.

O ok so I do need some type of paper work in order to geta permit?

They technically want to see the registration and insurance for anything you use on their land. But all you really need to show them is your tow vehicle paperwork. They don`t ask any questions they just want your money.

Yea that's what I figured.

I rode there this year with some guys and it was sick the hillclimbs and trails are just insane going back in a few weeks.

It's not hard to get it registered and insurance is like 75 a year. You really should have Insurance incase you hit somebody and hurt them or their quad. You should think of others that are out there having fun too.

Yea idk I've never even ever thought of getting insurance. Pretty much every single friend I have has a quad or dirtbike to and they never think about it either. Most of them don't have their titles either.

I'd love to make it to either place this year. Can you go anytime of year?
Anybody have pics?

Yea I believe you can go all year round. They're are videos on YouTube it looks awesome

Yes you need to have registration and insurance.

Are you sure? I was reading that just your tow vehicle needs to be registered with the office. I'm probably wrong thou. I'm going out there this season sometime. 3 hour haul for me.
