okay, been a while since bentparts asked about some more dates, so I'm assuming that the dates that have been thrown out there are pretty much solid? I'm just trying to see when this thing is gonna happen so I can make arrangements.  :)

Still lookin for input on dates.  I noticed that Zuwarrie is having their fall event the weekend of 19th, 21st Oct. We ( wife and I) are really looking forward  to doing some kind of wheeling/camping trip, especially since I've finished my '63 Nimrod camper re-furb. Kentucky sure looks nicer.

Was that for work or pleasure? It's been a few years since I've been able to take 3 weeks vaca in a row. In any case, I've been working on getting various info on different areas in KY good for wheeling. Obviously, the Daniel Boone Nat. Forest looks great, but without a guide the routes good be difficult for someone not familar with the area. I've contacted the National Forest Service in that region and am waiting for a reply in regards to purchasing  Motor vehicle use maps of the forest. If I can get enough good info I'm going to do a two day ride in the area the 20th and 21st, proabably two seperate day trips. Altogether we plan on being in the area 3 to 4 days since we are leaving NJ on thurs Morn, and leaving KY on Monday Aftn. I'm also trying to find a nice camp ground to use as a base camp. If that doesn't work out to be pratical, I've found another area in KY, around the town of Evarts, in Harlan Co. The county has purchased, and /or reclaimed 4000+ acres of reclaimed coal mining land, and has marked trails of various difficulty throughout the park. I've talked to the Pres. of the local Atv club and they welcome 4wd vehicles, and the town is geared around off road tourism. The OHV park is just the begining, with another 70000 acres of trails, marked with degree of difficulty, named etc, surrounding the park, available for more off road adventure. I've had to put in for the days off, there is a small chance I could change them if necessary. If you can't make it Jeff, I'll be going to one place or the other. Anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome. BTW, the place in Harlan Co has a website, Harlan County ridge runners is the Club name.

Hey, now that sounds good! Not sure if I'll be draggin my camper down there, looks like it so far. Do they have showers in the camping area at the park? It's about 600 miles for us, so if we leave EARLY thurs morning, we could be there LATE Thurs evening. I might have to split the drive into one long day, one short one, since the wife doesn't like driving the Tracker ( and it scares me when she does!) Look forward to meeting you LilRed, and all the other Zuk drivers too.

There are two Evarts campgrounds and I'm told they both have shower facilities.  The event headquarters will be held in Verda field.  I believe they have power there, but no showers.  Then there's free primitive camping in the park.  We will be staying at the Mt. Aire Motel in Harlan!!!  Just didn't want to have to pack all the camping gear with us this time!  We'll have my Sidekick and 2 or 3 Sami's with us.  So, you are driving the Tracker down from NJ???

Yeah, drivin the Tracker down, no tow vehicle. It does fine on the highway though, very comfortable. I'm cool as long as I don't completely disable it while I'm wheeling down there. I'm going to check on the Mt Aire Motel, give 'em a call to see if they have any availability. I'd rather not have to tow my trailer down if rates are reasonable.

That was a work trip, lately they have been keeping me gone most of the time. I leave on Nov 3 to do a 10 day trade show in Milan.
They now have me booked to attend the Daniel Boone ATV Jaboree on the 19-21st so I'm out once again.  >:(
