I've been there many times. My two favorite trails are bear wallow and rockhouse. I always stay in Mann WV it is central to both trail heads and is the cheapest as well.

I will also caution you against taking your girlfriend on your extra quad unless she is very comfortable on it. The terrain there is unlike anything we have here and is not a place to learn. You will have no cell service in most areas and will be milesfrom any kind of help and hours from a hospital. It is a challenging and very fun place to ride but absolutely not a place to learn

Is there cabins there or do i bring my tent? Do i need to get a sticker to ride the trails? Also how about gas? i run 100 octane in my quad is there gas stations that i can hit that would sell that down there or am i better off taking my own from here? LOL last but not least how long of a drive from Columbus?

Its just under 4 hours from Columbus. Half of the town is rentals, cabins houses rooms ect. As far as 100 octane no not gonna find it there. You get fuel from speedway or 7-11. Why do you run 100 octane in that anyway? Just preference for some reason or mods because it would take massive motor work to require that Im sure you'd be just fine on the 94 that the pumps have. And yes you need a sticker to ride and they only sell yearly passes and a non resident sticker is 54 dollars if I remember right.

Insurance on your quad is required at Walhonding. They do not require a sticker

Yup but only on my old dirt bike...was pretty rutted and not in a good fun way and thought it was poorly managed but that was 4 years ago. Has anything changed?

Your jetting and carb tuning is the problem. Not the fuel. With no motor work done that quad will run like a champ on 87....if the carb is right if you just did a slip on the jets don't even need changed. And it is just as rugged as Wayne and Perry even worse depending on the trail you take. Very rocky and hill climbs that go to the clouds and take several attempt to get there.
