greg1647545532 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I've been there, a friend of mine met me there and we camped out for the weekend at a local campground. Well, we camped one night and pussed out the next and got a hotel because it was fucking freezing. It's always fun popping into small towns and having beers with the locals. The roads in PA are awesome and it's a great place for a road trip, but the actual coal fire is pretty dull. It's crazy how there's streets but no houses, and every once in a while a house but no neighborhood, but the novelty wears off pretty quick. There's lots of places where steam is coming out of the ground, and a couple of places where there's actual smoke and sulfur coming up. We hiked around as much as we could trying to find something epic and never found it. I think it makes a better story than an actual experience. Still fun for a lark if you're looking for something to do. I took pictures, but I don't think they were interesting enough for me to have put online anywhere.

Mark1647545493 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Here's an article on Yahoo that talks about Centralia. If you plan on going there, better head out soon or you're not going to see much..... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100205/ap_on_re_us/us_centralia_s_final_days;_ylt=AmVEqUh5jo6oMoUusdRtbJpzfNdF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99MustangGTman Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 My friend who goes to school in PA went there and said it was pretty boring. Were big into urban exploring and such and this place doesn't even compare to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Might be an interesting stop for some cool photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Damn, it seemed like a cool road trip idea, but if it's boring like people on here are saying then its probably not worth the drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 the town and road with the fisher would be fun for about a hour. then explorering all the back country and trails would be the fun part. From everything I have read there a couple hundered miles of trails in the area and it's all legal to wheel on. you just have to stay out of the strip mines.

Nitrousbird Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I got a much better feel for it using Bing's birds eye view. But mostly looks like a bunch of older roads with empty lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
