Hey Alan, I grew up in "#2 holler". As a kid, I walk this very mountain top while hunting. It was not as accessible back then. I was home last month and stayed at my mom's old house in #2 bottom and took my Polaris on this same road to coalwood and back. I may bring my ATV back up next week and ride some more. Thanks for all the fun videos. I can visit home without leaving Va. Not the same, but next best thing when you cannot travel..

Thanks for commenting. Did you ride to coalwood from #2 Holler? We saw a rough place on both ends of that trail that we we not willing to tackle. We go to Coalwood from Christian Mt now.

I first went left when I topped the mountain in #2 and went over to coalwood road, went down the hill-climb, crossed the road and then came back. The trip over to coalwood is rough in spots. Have you tried to top out the mountain in #2 via the old gas well holler road? (When you get at the end of the hard top in #2, you go straight instead of left) Man its rough and a hard climb. Probably will take as long as 10 to 15 mins from bottom to top. I do not recommend it.  I will not do it again.

If I get my jeep that I pull my trailer with repaired, I am going to bring my ATV home and do more riding this coming weekend. I enjoyed the ride over to Hemphill via the old #3 holler road. I went over there last month and its been probably 30 years or more since we traveled that road as kids with our motorcycles. Maybe I will see you guys out next weekend.

There is a new gas well in #2. It may have been drilled since you rode there. I have also gone to another gas well in #2.....the one where you stay right handed. It's pretty good road all the way to the well. The place that stopped us on the high road was at about 3 minutes into the video. It looked too rocky and rutted out for us to try the side x side. I hope you have a good ride.

Once by the old gas well on your left(at the head of the holler), go straight up over the hump and there is a road there, or should I say a ditch. Its hard to see the road, and it really looks as nothing is there, but the old road actually follows the holler to the top. Once you get half way up, you are committed and must straddle a 3 foot deep ditch to the top and ride over rocks as bigs as your tires. Water damage has taken its toll and its hard to tell there ever was a road.

[cathead77]

I'll probably let that one be......haha. I'm pretty much a wuss and can't take it too rough.....haha. I really appreciate the info. It's really good to know this stuff.

[kelckeri]

Truth be told, once I was near the top, I wished I had left it alone as well...

[kelckeri]

Also Alan, when you top out Christian Mtn and head towards Coalwood, there is a grown over road that can be walked and you will be on the opposite mtn in #2. You will be behind the old mine site (ridge between #2 and Coontree) and can actually look down on #2 bottom. I hunted all these ridges in the late 1970s and 80s. We got lost once while squirrel hunting and ended up at Frog level ON FOOT. That was a long walk and needless to say, that mistake was addressed by mom and dad...

y did u let it roll down the hill u should of gave it gass. u can tell by the trani scremin.. mine do it all the time but never that loud.. give it gas, go fast, have fun

[cathead77]

Yep, you are right, but sometimes giving it gas will make it go faster than I want to go....LOL. Thanks for watching.

[jrgolfer]
