I seem to remember a kid riding as fast as he could on some guys wheeler  to the power line to ask the guy who owned the big bad Blazer to come pull his lil truck outta the sippi hole on coal mine side a few years back. And yes I have pics.

We werent even in the same class . So I guess you believe wrong

you`re no fun...

i ll take that bet....   it will be fun watchin that 208 jump out on the ground.

np 208?  unless im blind...    205 with a stock adapter will break too..   either way, you will lose.

if its a stock adapter, it will break or you are just bein a wimp with the lack of throttle...

dang, i left that open for insult....

Somewhat........ it happens

I dont know what you call the dug out but theres 6 ways that Im aware of goin up there= 1.Stairsteps 2. Putman 3. Bingham 4.Coalmine 5. Rousseau 6. Dry Creek

or clay hill? right below Gopher's cabin?

Coal mine makes my truck run hot , Im sure there will be people heading up that way and if I hear about anybody Ill put you in touch with them.

Its been about 8 years since I rode up that way , but if I remember right you gotta go up behind Paul Fowlers house , cross a creek and head up . You come out at the other side of the power line. I dont even know if that way is fit for a rig, as the last time I went that way it was on a honda. Nick may know.....

Thanks, Nick.  Our property is next to Dry Creek hunting club, there is probably no way to get there from our property.  I was just interested in where it was located, I thought maybe it was the powerline.  I'm not from this area just getting an idea where things are located.  

I don't plan on trespassing.  Thanks for the info.

The same thing (club being blamed for litter) has been happening at Monteagle with the Damn Locals in Coppinger Cove. The land owners assume that since theres a 4x4 organization in the area , that everybodys a part of it, including the people throwing out all their trash. I think TNMAN (Locals Prez) had a meeting with the landowners a while back to clear thier name. That might be what ya'll have to do if you havent done so already.

Ok so Im a lil concerned. I have always been up there by going in through Killingsworth Cove. Is that a legal way to go in? I have been up there typically in my Jeep and occasionally with one other rig.

Thanks for the info. Now my question is How do I go about getting permission to go up there using this route. Or better yet, which way is the legal way ? The last thing I want to do is get nailed for trespassing.  That is one of my favorite places to go here locally so I it would be nice to be able to continue riding there.

I don't think the www.xtremepayneoffroad.com link in your sig works any more.

Is your XJ locked?

coalmine=gay.....

yeah landowners have been at it for a while and now are going at each other.

tried stairsteps yesterday after all the rain got up pretty far but there was no traction at all on the rocks. we had to turn around after the first big area of rocks after the mud. dont know if ill be trying it again. maybe it would be easier when it was dry but it seems to me youd need 35s to make it all the way. anybody ever made it with 31s and open diffs?

After listening to what everyone has to say about riding on coalmine, we're gonna end up doing the right thing and going somewhere to ride legal. Like others have said, I don't want to worry about getting my truck towed or getting fined for riding somewhere.

We're going to wilborn's that saturday, april 11th, and riding 4wheelers. If anyone else is interested let me know. I'd love to have some others join us.

The ride is definitely the 11th.  Not sure if I'm going to make it or not now.  Gotta wait on the doctor's to clear me (or my leg to stop hurting).

Same mountain , Different side

That sucks for the gate on CoalMine.  My parents used to go when I was little but I've never been myself.  Guess I'll just have to stick to Bingham.

And if so where do you all meet up to ride over?   I had told some friends here that I would go watch a Rugby game tomorrow but I think I could get out of it to ride up there. But I don't have tow hooks on the front of my jeep yet and I know it says that I need those to ride with you all. I don't have any come-a-longs but I figured if I went with yall you'd let me borrow some if I got stuck!

May 9th if i'm not mistaken...... it benefits shriners children's hospital (or at least it has in the past)

I heard this also from someone who ran up on the scene right after the accident. They saw it first hand. VERY sad. I hate this for the family.

The guy who told me about it was headed from the powerlines to go off Bingham and came upon the accident somewhere in between. He said the boy was on the back of an ATV with his grandfather. This is terrible. I can't imagine losing a child.

wow. that is sad!


was it crowded?

Yep, lots of ATV's there this year.  Also a lot of kids and families there too.  They all were a pretty well behaved bunch.  I saw lots of people having fun and I didn't see anyone acting stupid.  Actually saw some kids with trash bags picking up trash at the powerlines.  When we came back through the powerlines right at dark, just about everyone had left and the place was pretty clean. I think there was more people there last year; but the weather was a lot better last year.  We had a great time and saw several folks we know; damn shame about the young boy.

gotta go up there unfortunatly here in a few to drag a buddys truck off...  I hate coalmine.

I found out the kid is on life support and will be taken off tomorrow.

I've heard several stories.  The most common one was the 4-wheeler just rolled.  Could have happened to anyone.  I don't like to think how many times I've pulled a front tire off the ground taking a turn to fast on mine.

Here is the deal with the little boy who got injured.  My husband is a Woodville fireman and we were up there with our 2 year old son.  We were in a truck and they were a few vehicles back from us.  As we were all coming down around 3pm about a mile before you get to the Moon Cemetary there as a curve that was rutted and sloshy and everyone was climbing the left bank to keep out of the ruts when the grandfather did this the 4-wheeler tipped foward and went over on top of the little boys head.  When the call came out from 911 we were already at the last hill going down.  My husband took the paramedic up and the boy had already lost about 2 pints of blood.  They think he was already brain dead from the impact on his skull.  He was unresponsive and also had possible spinal injuries.  They landed air-evac and lifted him the Huntsville Hospital where the family had to make the decision on Sunday to take him off life support because he was showing no signs of brain activity during the night.  The child was only 9 years old.  The grandfather is devastated.  The little boys name is (EDITED BY MODERATOR PENDING FORMAL RELEASE IN MEDIA).  Very sad for the family.  I'm sure the grandfather thought nothing of a helmet since they were just going on a slow ride in the woods.  But that is no excuse for not using a helmet on a child.
