Make plans now to join the MTN Trail Riders for our end of summer ride at the HMT system Aug. 13-14. See what adventures lay ahead as we explore the Buffalo Mnt trail system in Williamson, WV. This trail offers a bounty of single tracks for all the moto guys, atv and SxS trails from mild to wild. We will visit and ride through the historic town of Matewan where the famous Battle of Matewan took place. This was the battle between the coal miners and "The Man"(Coal Mine Owners). To find out more go to www.matewan.com or watch the movie "Matewan". A few other sites to see is a coal seam which has been burning for decades. (I've heard it said that the reason of how this particular mine caught fire was a miner taking a break, flipped his Pall Mall full flavored 100s duct down onto a piece of machinery, which then ignited the fire that is burning today.) This is just a cautionary tale of why you shouldn't smoke. For more info on lodging and trip details please contact Sam or Bonnie White by email sbjwhite@yahoo.com or 423-329-2833.
