I think we're in for Thursday. I would rather not do an 11 hour round trip though like I read about earlier. It is what it is though. If the leader of the group and the rest of the group want to do an 11 hour trip, Im down like 4 flat tires. I'll just have to make sure the cooler is stocked with enough frosty adult beverages.

Now that we are gonna be arriving on Monday, we can go any day. Sounds like most want to go on Thursday, if this ride is going to be done on more than one day we won't mind going another day so Thursdays ride isn't to crowded.

Former inmates on the tour. That's comforting.....

Depending upon group sentiment can always hit Eternal Flame on way back, just adds another 90 minutes.

Alternatively if I plot a route without Windrock trails, the Eternal Flame would line right up as a first POI going west before heading south across New River unit to prison, need to check it out for difficulty of trails and time to get there.

@Hondasxs is coming in January sometime, maybe we can plot a route then.

Oh man, that would be awesome to hit them both on the same trip. I'm in!

Most of the "Tour Guides" if you want to use one are retired Corrections Officers some 4th generation of family that worked in the place.

Cool video:

I'll say cool video for sure! How long does the tour take? Sure gave me the willies just looking at it outside the main gate this year!

You can walk through it in as little as an hour or spend 4+ hours if you read all the historical things posted, especially in the museum section.

I may have to just drive over there and spend the day, I like that kind of stuff. ???????????? And ride with Y'all also there for lunch and scenery.

starting to sound like we need 2 or 3 trail leaders so we have different paced people not all stumbling and waiting on each other.

We're in for the trip, we're getting to RRB on Tues so any day is fine with us.

I hate I'm going to miss all the trips I won't arrive till around noon on Thursday. But that will give me time to do my own thing that afternoon which I enjoy a lot also.

I will most likely go early in the week. So a good possibility a few of us will be around RRB. I'm sure there will be people to group up with.

We were there earlier this year and had a tour guide that was once a prisoner there. It was very interesting.

I will probably bump into sharp or trigger I have a way of finding them.

Was watching Silence Of The Lambs last night with my new 15 year old and just realized that Brushy Mountain is where they offer to send Dr Lector.
