Beer Can Alley ??

If i take the trail from Pennacle Creek Campground down through the bottom to Beer Can Alley, does it come out on a Hatfield Trail?
Someone told me it did. Anyone know the trail number?

I think if you take a right and keep crossing the creeks, it does run into a H/M trail.

If you take a left and go all the way thru the creeks you come out what is called Tiny's and you can take a right at the fence and head onto H/M trails to Pineville or Mullens or just stay on the gravel road and take the H/M trail on your left at the bridge which will take you back to Ashland or eventually into Bramwell.I don't know the numbers cause I use to ride them all the time before they were H/M trails.

the Pinnacle connector is 20, the one back to Bramwell is 27

Bobby i think i know where your talking about. Does the trail split off a gravel road right there at a house and run down between two barbed wire fences for a good bit?

yes it goes along a fence.  that is the connector between indian ridge and pinnacle creek.

and it's a long connector, about ten miles or so

Im pretty sure i know where its at. Might be a good ride from Ashland and back. Better take a couple gallons with me!! Thanks guys. Yall know if Pennacle Creek resort has gas or not? Dont think they did last year.

No they don't. Ashland does. It isn't that far of a ride from Ashland to hm near pinnacle creek.

Get you a gps with bobT maps, or ride with Bobby.  Either way, you will never get lost.

Hump, the GPS is in my future plans for sure! I enjoy exploring and have a great sense of direction but am always leery of exploring too deep by myself for fear of breakind down or running out of gas. A GPS would be very helpful. Im heading out in 2 hours for 4 days of exploring and riding!! my first mission is to find Tinys and where Beer Can Alley meet. thanks fellas

Ride safe & enjoy

if you are heading left past beer can alley by yourself you better have a winch and some other get unstuck gear or know exactly what lines you can take.  it is more than a wee bit muddy there and you cross the creek about 10 more times the creek crossings are easy some of the mudholes are not so easy.

Even if you don't own a gps you can still download Bob T's maps and look at them on your computer using the garmin software.

We found it just fine with yalls help. We came over from Ashland via the connector and went in at Tinys towards Pennacle Creek. Great ride through. creeks were deep from Fridays downpours and the mud holes were full but we made it through ok. You can definately tell its not a HM trail the minute we turned on it. Went up to Riders Paradise and had a few cold ones and back over the mountain through Crumpler to Ashland. It was a good ride. We went back over Saturday and man was there some freaks riding beer can. Holy hell It looked like the cast from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome!! Im talking dudes with dreads to their ass with the solid contacts where it looks like you have no pupils.....drunks so drunk they were about to fall off their rides...4 guys in a Mule...2 standing up....3 on one 4 wheeler...one smoking a joint and some VERY unfriendly SOB's. Glad my .45 was with in reach because it was very uncomfortable. All in all a great weekend.

Never seen nothing like that at beer can. Hopefully we never have to use any kind of force to defend ourself in that area. We would loose all rights to ride. I enjoy riding their more than anywhere, and would hate to loose that.

I have not been through beer can alley since late last summer and it didn't look great then. It seems every time we go though that area there is a cast of characters scattered about. I love the terrain ands sand in that area but thats about it. I hate the trash!

we sat down there at the drinking tree several hours Saturday and didn't see that bunch. I have forever carried a .45 with me up there 'cause of the druggies

Where is the drinking tree?

Right at the intersection

the drinking tree is between beer can alley and pinnickle camp ground it is the walnut tree at the creek crossing

Heck we may have passed you Timmi. We came thru about 6:30 Pm

I dunno, seven, I think we left before then. Big G or Keeter might know. We had a wildcat, teryx and two rzr's sitting there. I never look at the clock when I'm up there  

I'll look for it. Never herd of it.

Here is a vid I made a couple of years ago at the tree

The drinking tree is 1.6 miles past Pinnacle Creek Campground, not counting wheel spin in the mud.

Thanks for the info. I have always seen people there. Didnt know it had a name for it. We usually stop at the next creek. You can just about see it from there. My kids like playing in the creek in that spot

look familiar. Kids love it here.

Good looking rzr's! I don't know anything about the 170 but I see a bunch of them on the trails. Probly best not to have kids around at the tree, language gets rough there at times.
