June 11th of 2016 in the heated summer, there were one huge local event that everybody looks forward to and that is Hatfield and McCoy Marathon Run. They do Hatfield and McCoy Marathon Runs now and then, to my knowledge it’s once or twice annually as it is how many times I usually sees them but I could be wrong because I don’t know the entire schedules or the deal with Hatfield-McCoy Marathon. Hatfield and McCoy Marathon has always been one of the largest event in the heart of two counties which that is in Pike County of Kentucky and Mingo County of West Virginia. In Pike County, Ky they runs between Belfry to Blackberry and in Mingo County they runs in Williamson which is where the kickoff is and the finish lane is. Why these two counties with two different states you may ask? If you don’t know the history of Hatfield-McCoy feud then I am surprised because almost everybody know the history of them, nonetheless Hatfield-McCoy feud happens between the border of two counties, that is both in Pike County and Mingo County. Specifically between the Belfry in Pike County of Kentucky and Williamson in Mingo County of West Virginia, both of them is a border to two states each others. Now between that, there is a river…

In the evening on Friday I have decided that I should take a video of the daytime in the evening into the night using GoPro Hero4 Black Edition, just to give me something to do and I was due to have a video anyway since I haven’t recorded any videos in a very long time so ever since I started watching some videos on YouTube where some people records using their GoPro which that inspired me to actually start using my GoPro Hero4 Black Edition instead of letting it collects some dust well the case that GoPro is in collects dust. Ever since the memorial weekend where I decided for the first time that I want to put my GoPro Hero4 Black Edition in use, not only that I also bought GoPro Session on that same week before the memorial weekend because I wanted to use the GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition on the mount at the front of my ATV and use the GoPro Session for moving around either on a pole (GoPro 3-way) or clipped to the front of my hat. I have uploaded the video where we went trail riding on ATVs which you can find it by looking for ATV Adventure: Ballfork Mountain on the media page at top of the website under ATV Adventures videos…
Last weekend we have decided that we would go riding on four wheelers as I own ATVs or some just prefer to call them four wheelers but I like to call them ATV because when you say four wheelers, most of times the trucks comes to mind although ATV can be called four-wheeler as well so sometimes it’s a bit confusing when it comes to talking about four-wheeler because sometimes people would think it means truck and sometimes people would think it means ATV. So calling them ATV would be more straightforward in my opinion, hence they are classified that and what more it can be confusing too because some people calls the side by side ATV as well but they are classified as UTV which is what I also like to call them myself; UTV stands for Utility Terrain Vehicle and ATV is All-Terrain Vehicle. Nonetheless back to the subject, Ballfork Mountain which is a very beautiful mountain that I like going to as much as I can when I have the time or energy to do so and Ballfork Mountain is found in Blackberry, Kentucky which is here in the United States so if you ever decide to come visiting the United States for trail riding on either ATV or UTV/SXS I would highly recommend that Ballfork Mountain…
There were the warnings going off the hook on Thursday evening in the surroundings of Belfry areas in Pike County in the center of east in the state of Kentucky in United States that were telling everyone who resides in these areas in the Pike County, Ky to be prepared for a huge snowstorm that was coming over from in the morning on Friday to this evening on Saturday and that we would be getting the range in 15 inches to 20 inches of snow as the weather services says so of course this caused a panic to many people to where that they had to make a trip to the grocery store to buy some essentials including foods to be prepared for the snowstorm which they named it the Winter Snowstorm Jonas. In the warnings it said that we would be getting hit with around 30 mile per hours of gust/wind along with heavy snow and that it would very likely to cause power outage which that caused the power provider AEP Kentucky Power to call in additional crewmen for emergency assistance which comes from all over such as the state of Indiana, state of South Carolina, state of Michigan and others to standby for when we have power outage that would be affected from the snowstorm Jonas. As…
Yesterday my mother and I decided to drive out to one of my mother’s childhood favorite place so I could experience it myself as well. I love seeing historic places or any places that has history on them and Dingess Tunnel is one of them but many people have said that the Dingess Tunnel is haunted for several years although I haven’t seen any ghosts luckily because I am terrified of them. Dingess Tunnel is in southwest of West Virginia in Mingo county and the tunnel is somewhat long so if you ever decide to touch the Dingess tunnel be sure to take your time looking around inside the tunnel especially at both ends of the tunnel because the walls is somewhat amazing to me. When we went to the Dingess tunnel I decided to record a video so that all of you can experience what I was experiencing while going inside the tunnel in a vehicle so enjoy the video and I will be including a directions or map in case if you ever want to know how to get there. Click -> Map of Dingess Tunnel Thank you for watching the video and I hope that all of you have a great night. Be safe wherever all of you are at or be safe doing whatever it is…
On memorial day I have decided to found a club for all the people love to go trails riding with their toys such as ATV, SXS (Side By Side) and dirt bikes. For some weeks I have been in discussion with only very a few of the people about a name for the club until I came to the name that I thought it would be a good name for the club especially trying to come up with the name of the club that would be meaningful and suits all of riders because in the beginning of going over the name for the club all of riders were in mind. Finally I have come up with the name of the club which I have announced when I made an announcement over on social media that I have founded a club for all the riders because in this area and several miles radius has no club for the trails riders. By areas I mean both Pike County in Kentucky and Mingo County in West Virginia specifically but there are more than both of these counties though. When I came up with the name for the club, since I am web developer I decided to secretly started building a club website for whoever would like to join the club and on the…
I have realized that I have written several articles about the computers and such but not many articles about the apps so I decided to write something about the apps this time especially for on the road. I know that there are some of the law in some of the states says that you are not allowed to use the smartphone or tablet while driving the vehicles on the road such as the law in some of the states in United States and it is soon to be a law in every states where anyone are not allowed to text while driving or making a call while driving on the road although the governments are encouraging the cell phone users to buy some bluetooth devices such as speakers with microphone or some of new cars are coming out with their own bluetooth where it enables the drivers to make a call to anybody using the bluetooth through their dashboard that will use the car speakers itself to hear the caller which is a good thing so not to distract the drivers on the road but what about everyone not being allowed to text while driving on the road? What they don’t realize is that it’s a bit unfair because the people who are deaf or hard of hearing can only…
