Just up from where that white car was parked on the trail.

There's prolly RV and other camping spots at or near the main Windrock entrance (Oliver Springs).

We'll (myself, KyGal, and my buddy and his friend) be staying near Rocky Top. We saw a couple of other places to rent but I haven't seen them online. We'll try to make a note of them on Friday this time.

Doesn't look like much in Rocky Top. Caryville and the Clinton exit off I75 about the same distance away. I got the feeling @TripleB rode from his house in Caryville down to the entrance of Windrock in RT. Maps shows it a 7mi ride. I'm assuming there is a back road or trail that takes you from Caryville to RT. Got to also find a place to park the rig. Motel not my first choice.

 

[Red500]

Yeah, @TripleB rode from his house and met us at a trial junction. (You'll have to ask @KyGal83 the trail numbers). @futzin and co. Stayed at a cabin in Rocky top and Dorothy and I parked there. Hopefully brad can chime in with some suggestions.

TripleB came across caryville flats and back down the mountain to meet everyone at trail 52 . I’ll be parking at brushy mountain prison in Petros and headed across the mountain. I can meet you at the main entrance to Windrock in Oliver Springs. then we can go meet everybody else if you want to stay down there.

It's 1.5 hours from my house to where I met them on trail g53 Saturday and Sunday. It probably another 45 minutes or so from that spot to the windrock general store. You don't wanna stay in Caryville unless the whole group is staying there or if you were riding with me lol.

I may ride a day if I feel froggy. I have a whole lot of junk that needs worked on. It all depends on how much progress I've made between now and then. I've accomplished nothing so far this week.

I appreciate the offer. I'll let you know as we get closer to that weekend. How far a ride is that for you?

 

[Backwoods]

From the prison to where futzin is staying about an hour a lot of this is blacktop
prison - Windrock -futzin about 2hrs most of this is trail
i can haul my ride to Windrock and start from there that takes me about 20 minutes

 

[Backwoods]

If I come will I be the only one at RV/cabin area in the park ?
I don’t want to disrupt everyone’s plan. If I come I’ll drive up Friday morning leave Sunday early. If it doesn’t affect everyone by that location I’ll call and book a spot tomorrow. It will just be me , wife said it’s too hot for her. She’s a Yankee and don’t do southern summers real good
