I'd be interested in doing a HM in the spring of 23 or late this fall.

Have you done any research on lodging? I think our band of four are going.

 

[CMB]

No, I have not. @JayPo has been there a few times and was telling me about lodging and able to run 3 trail systems from it. Maybe he will chime in and give some info.

There's lodging everywhere, stay at northern system 30 min ride down pavement to southern systems or can run outlaws trails most of way. almost every town is atv friendly. October November are the busiest times due to leaf change keep that in mind when doing large get together.

I'm interested in a spring trip smitty. I've talked about it with CMB and Ridinfool.

Cabwaylingo ivy-branch and bearwallow do not connect to any other system except by outlaws. Gilbert, man area is good central place to stay in for northern system towns around welch, pinnacle trail is about center of southern system.

Also I just give everyone heads up that goes, they will and do ck coolers for alcohol they will pull everything out and ck every can. they can give u a fine $125 per can empty or full.

We've stayed at wild willie's which is really close to ashland resort. Both are relatively easy to hit Pocahontas, Indian Ridge. Pinnacle creek and Warrior have connecting trails as well, Pinnacle is a nice area to ride, Warrior was nice too but it had a lot of trails closed late April this year due to logging so we skipped it and trailered about an hour to ride Buffalo Mountain and Devil Anse; Devil Anse is mainly a connector between Buffalo Mountain and Rockhouse. Buffalo Mountain was a nice area to ride.

We are heading to Gilbert and staying in a remodeled school into a hotel on October 13, 14, and 15th. The place sounds gtg and the host was super nice! I went about a year ago and had a lot of fun. The park trails are more groomed but fun and fast (when it's not crowded). To get some real tough stuff you gotta hit the outlaw trails. We plan to do more outlaw trails this time.

I’m out.

 

[bigshoe]

I’m out.

I've been 30 times in last year in a half only been ck 3 times. One warning for no helmet, another warning for none dot helmet. They never caught the shine in the gallon of tea, never even questioned it.

We stayed in a cabin at Devils Backbone Adventure Resort a couple years ago. Absolutely loved it. Right on the connector trail between Devil Anse and Rockhouse. Buffalo Mountain is just the other side of Devil Anse so 3 trail systems easily accessible from the cabin.

We stay there a year ago also and it was a great location for trail access! The owners were really nice too!

I can recommend Ashland Resort and or Twin Hollow Campgrounds both have plenty of RV & Cabins. Ashland connected to 3 of the 8 ride areas.

I recommend ya'll ride at Buffalo Mountain, Devil Anse and Rock House. They have more technical trails than the southern trails do but it's a good mix of easy to difficult trails. Also Bearwallow. Buffalo Mountain and Bearwallow are my favorite 2 trail systems to ride. You can ride into town for lunch and gas if you want to. We usually stay in Man and trailer to Bearwallow and Buffalo Mountain. Pretty long ride from Rock House to Buffalo Mountain on the trails. You can spend a solid day at each trail system and not be able to ride all of the trails.
I want to see some videos of y'all attempting trail 97 at Buffalo Mountain. Aka Parts Hill

I know a few members that would accept that challenge. I have seen them in action. (No business)

They call 97 the death trail on some you tube videos I watched. There is no way I'd be on it. The one section you couldn't go through with out being tied off with your winch or very likely you'd go over the cliff. But I'd watch 😂 😂
