Several people have expressed an interest in going on an "easy," exploration-style trip, so it looks like we're going this weekend. Due to the work schedules of some, the plan is to leave early Friday morning (3/16);however, if enough want to, we can leave late Thursday afternoon, provided we've got a consensus on where to stop. We'll see.
The type of driving will be a step up from Bienville last year, but a couple of steps down from Hot Springs, K2, etc., but this is REALLY pretty scenery! We'll be headed toward Little River Canyon in the northeast section of Alabama, and other spots in DeKalb County, as well as sites in northwest Georgia and southeast Tennessee (like Chattanooga). We're still trying to run down additional off-road spots in those areas, though we've already found a few backcountry and forest service roads along the route.
Although I've spent a good deal of time in these areas over the last 20+ years, I seem to find new and interesting places to visit (caves, waterfalls, hiking trails, etc.) every time I go. Add this time the search for 4x4 opportunities, and I hope it'll be a fun, quick, inexpensive (excluding fuel) trip during a nice time of year. For those of us not going to K2, this offers an opportunity to get out in the cruisers.
Though a little short notice, just wanted to post for anyone who wants to join in.
Let us know!
