I want to pass something down.....
It has come to our attention that the Mullins Quarry in Livingston KY is private property and the owner no longer wants anyone visiting it. Admittedly we were under the assumption that the owner did not mind folks visiting it. But due to the incredible amount of graffiti and litter he is now enforcing the no trespassing. Of course when we would go I always left it better by picking up some of the trash but it's irrelevant. My understanding is there are now no trespassing signs and VU will certainly abide by the owners wishes. I also have removed it from all maps.

The lesson?
Make sure you research BEFORE you go. The MVUM map is your friend. Stay off closed or gated roads. Pay attention if trespassing signs are present. When we were there last I honestly did not see the trespassing signs. This will not hold up and is not an excuse.

Consider this a lesson learned and us doing our best to pass on the lesson.

Just doesn’t get any better than running routes in Kentucky!

Venture Unknown had the pleasure of guiding two teams through the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway over the past couple of weeks:

Team 1: Rabid Raccoon
Team 2: Into the Wild

Two different groups. Two incredible adventures. Miles of Kentucky backroads, creek crossings, technical trails, beautiful camps, campfires, laughs, challenges, and the kind of memories that make these trips worth every mile.

What continues to make these rides special isn’t just the terrain. It’s the people who show up ready to explore, learn, help one another, and enjoy the journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who trusted Venture Unknown to guide your adventure through Kentucky.

The DBBB never disappoints, and neither did these two teams.

Explore. Educate. Encourage.

Until the next 🔥

Venture Unknown presents......
Our 2nd annual Potts Mountain Charity Ride to benefit Venture Unknown Foundation

In 3 days, 28 rigs will descend on Virginia from across the East Coast. Folks are traveling from as far north as Massachusetts and as far south as Florida, all converging on one beautiful creekside camp.

Then the adventure begins.

4 days. 350 miles. No interstates.

Just backroads, mountain passes, creek crossings, ridgelines, remote camps, and the George Washington & Jefferson National Forests stretched out in front of us.

And yes...

POTTS MOUNTAIN JEEP TRAIL is on the menu. (Optional copilot seats avail)

28 rigs. Three teams. No team larger than 10.

Small on the trail.
Big around the campfire.

Each night, the stories from the day get better. Then morning comes...

Engines fire.
Radios crackle to life.
“Wheels up.”

And just like that, the conversation moves right back onto the trail.

Mix in a little Virginia history, some geology, incredible scenery, damn good captains, and friendships forged somewhere between the mountains, the radio chatter, and the campfire...

This is why we do it.

And here's the kicker. We still have 2 spots available. And this will be my last time trying to fill them.

If you've been wanting to make this trip but could use a little help getting there, some incredibly generous folks in this community have stepped up and donated to help make that possible. I'll remind everyone.... This adventure is equal familiar folks to 100% strangers. Don't be intimidated. We got you!

Don't let money be the only thing keeping you from the trail. Reach out.

Virginia, we're coming.

GET LOST ON PURPOSE.
