while in the parking lot behind the coal hills, and acorss the street "the flats" a PA state trooper pulled right up on us, he asked for permits and "registration" for our quads, we all looked at each other clueless like we had never heard of the permits before , he said since we didnt know, hed let us off with a break, but we had to pack up and leave right then, he stayed in the parking lot and watched us and made sure we packed up and left, this was like 1 1/2 hours into our day, with a 2 1/2 hour drive each way(120+miles) , it sucked, bad, he said we could contact readington anthracite coal company and buy a pass for $100, they are located in potsville i think he said, either way you dont HAVE to go to coal hill, thats where everyone goes, its usually crowded and if the cops are gona show up they either go there or "the flats" parking lot up the road. thats where everyone is always at and they know it, so avoid those 2 places and you shouldnt have a problem, or just buy the $100 pass and they cant fuck with you, theres soooo much more riding to do there, not just the damn coal hill area, do some exploring
