All have to remember most videos show the highlights err the lowlights , no one wants to see a video of just running down the road . Always a safe way around most anything. On this trip I honestly can’t remember anything worthy of 4 wheel drive .

I took this trip with the group last year, nothing very aggressive at all . There is several miles of rocky trails around carry flats but nothing major as to grades and obstacles . We went back by road mostly. I assume the group will eat at the prison as we did. Not sure about your dog during this time.

We have been riding past couple yrs. In Ky. and you hardly ever see a Pioneer in the area We ride. You-All may have to break me of some bad habits We will be down wed. mid day a Thursday ride would be Great,,,,,,,

The ride back is usually a little more.... Colorful

I just Read an article on line where that train is owned by a couple of Gentlemen that own the New River General Store on 116,,

 

[Tramguage1]

Coming from Texas, got to say this place is pretty good.

Ok I have a couple questions, what type of trails are We talking to get to prison and train I have a Wife and Dog to keep happy , roughly about how long is the round trip, I would be interested in Thursday if it is not to aggressive trail wise

When I have a long distance ride like this (approximately 100 miles + round trip) I would never take difficult trails. The day will be long enough as it is without people having to negotiate obstacles and try to stay upright.

This type of ride is about seeing the scenery, checking out the POI of the New River Train and the Brushy Mountain Pennetentiary.

Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary

For those that don't know the BMP is a county ran tourist attraction in an old Maximum security prison, the Wardens Table Restuarant is definitely a must do, reasonable prices and good food.

Optionally you can self guide tour the prison for $12 if interested, allowing about 2hrs to walk the and read and see the history.

Also is the gift shop and the End of the Line distillery they have onsite moonshine and vodka.

It's a good ride, I personally recommend going by trail to it ( about 5 hours with a big group) and take 75% backroads back ( about 2 hours) at that rate it's a 10-11 hour day from departure to return. With several photo OP stops for overlooks and POIs.

I am getting to excited about the talon so I may be getting it this week!
