While this route was overall amazing towards. Pay close attention to a particular 3 mile stretch. When you come up to a sign in the road that says your 9 miles from Shamokin and make that left, the next 3 mile stretch is very dangerous especially when going down hill on a 1 mile or so stretch. I noticed my brothers rear tire throwing lots of stones, but looking at the road you would never realize that there is an UNREAL amount of gravel. It literally blended perfectly with the road..AND It WAS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!...we got off the bikes and walked about a 50 yard stretch and realized the whole road was covered with a coat of top gravel... IT WAS BAD and I've been riding for 17 years and have never seen stuff like this. TAKE CAUTION im telling you!!!1

In the past 3 years, I have done this ride from Ft. Indiantown Gap military Army base, up Gold Mine Road to Tower City and then up 125 to Shamokin. Not a road for the beginner. There are a few switchbacks that will challenge you. Good mountain climbs and "S" turns. Twisties that tempt you to "grip and rip" in a good way. The first two times up and back, you can overdrive your bike if not careful. So, ease into the ride until you get familiar with the road. Probably the best road to test your alertness, leaning skills and braking. Simply loved it.

In Shamokin Dam at Just South of the Rt15 / Rt 11 Split is an Econo Lodge. In the lodge is Villa Sanchez. Best authentic Mexican food I have ever had outside of Mexico, and you can't beat the reasonable price or great service. A favored stop when in that area!!
