Itinerary description

Just my luck. The first trail I picked was one of the most difficult. There are far too many trail for me alone to map out, I will try though. I forgot the name of this one (orange2 or ??? mainloop) but the trail was designated for motor bikes and horses. There were only two bad spots, at the beginning, but I made it through alone. I am marking the trail difficult only because it has so many sharp turns and switchbacks. I'm sure horses would love it.

Where extra protective gear, if you are the safe type, because it is the site of Camp Claiborne and every now and then you will see things like concrete slabs and rocks on the ground. Thankfully, most of the things that stick out are painted orange.

There are plenty of other directions you can go from the staging area with many of the smaller vehicles, primarily horses (single track) and dirt bikes, and four wheelers and I'm sure many of the other trails are easier.

Camping

Camp sites are available at either fiver or seven dollars per night for tents or campers. I don't believe a dumping station is available though and there isnt any running water at the site or the restrooms. The grounds are well kept and there is space for plenty of people.

Staging Area

Plenty of places to park a car or truck with trailer.
