All this came to a head cause of drunken quad riders on the old Graffiti Highway (real thing google it) well he wrecked good enough for a helicopter ride and that was it.
Anyway if you know where to look or use google earth you’ll see a lifetime of great rides close. Street legal bike goes along way Vs a 2 stroke on county roads as far as being left alone. Truly epic area to dual sport.

It's a tad over an hour from my house to Centraila, we make it almost every year to see if their are any houses left. When the last person in the household dies the government comes in and demolishes the building so fast it's unbelievable. Then some ground over the top and poof.. gone. There was a Catholic church on the west side of the road for a time. I was hoping they would move it since it was in great condition.. Nope, next year it was gone... Last time we were there there couldn't have been more than 6 or 8 homes left... And strangely there was no smoke anywhere like there was since we have been coming up.. Some say the fire is past where the town is... others say it has simply gone deeper. When I was taking LEO classes in Allentown Pa, they had a patch wall with patches from all over the USA.. one of the most coveted was the patch from Centraila..
