Adventure: Left Hill

You know what I love about adventures that don't focus on urban legends or specific historical events? Simplicity in posting them on my blog. Yeah, the quirky tales that make the background of my usual locations is what tends to get people hooked on here, but sometimes I just wanna drive my Jeep through some damn rock and mud.

Left Hill is precisely one of those places. It is nothing more than an old strip mine discharge, that has become a sort of moonscape through years of abandonment. And that makes for a pretty good playground for a Jeep. This particular one sits back in the pines of Clarion County in the Pa Wilds, so its close proximity to my undergrad university made for multiple visits... and all those pictures have gotten mixed up. While usually I would just stop up in the ZJ to show off to friends, I did make one brief run with a few members of WPaXC, the Western Pa Xterra Club.

Lots of action shots after the jump! Click "Read More"!

Here's pictures of my play time in the ZJ at Left Hill over the years in absolutely no logical order... just to prove that I was once the offroader I claim to be! Some pics blatantly stolen from Jason (Muzikman)... you can see his whole gallery of Left Hill right here.
