Jarbidge/elko riding

We did the Elko ATV Jamboree 3 years ago- there are plenty of places to go both north and south of Elko. They had a ride to Jarbidge- the trailhead is off the 225. It was 1/2 a day up and 1/2 back. There's a gas station and diner up there (at least there was three years ago). There's a good RV park in the "middle" of Elko- if you stay there you'll need to find some way to get your ATVs out to the trails.

We did a deer hunt last fall about an hour northwest of Elko on BLM land/campground. It's dry campng, but there plenty of trails and roads- a few active mines ("mineral", not "land"). One word of caution- there's a few mines that have those e-nourmous eath-mover dump trucks- stay as far away from them as you can, because I doubt they'd be able to see you, and would make a stain out of you if they ever ran over you. Another thing- for some reason, they all drive on the left-side of the road.

Check out www.jarbidge.org That is the web site for the local area.

You will just need to ride and find what you want, its out there. The mines run left hand traffic because when you are driving a truck that is 20+ ft wide you cant judge where the far side of the truck is, so they make the roads 2 1/2 times the width of a truck and the drivers keep the truck near the berm on their side so when they go past each other they wont run into each other.

When you get close to coming here pm me and i will send you my ph # if i am around i will take you riding.

NevadaNick-
Thanks for the hookup. Will definitely do. We will be coming out of Mammoth on or about the 26th of June give or take. I will ride either an xr280 for technical or my xr600. Both plated. Also have a rzr.
Appreciate it.
