Default Fall Colors Run

I know that we all just returned from our adventure in TN. I was interested in maybe doing a Fall Colors Run at the location as last years. We all had a great time, the cabins had electric, heat and air. October is right around the corner and I wanted to throw this out there now to kinda get an idea on who would be interested in going. I would plan on getting there on Friday, hitting the trails on Saturday and maybe hitting Bundy Hill on Sunday on the way home.

Last years place:

It's not an off road park, it's just some nice trails well maintained nothing extreme at all.

How about a trip up to Drummond Island instead so that we can do some real wheeling while enjoying those fall colors. I've already got a group of three or so jeeps that are planning on going up there around the same time.

Same as TN was and Some of the guys came from further than that. I kind of decided that 10 hours is about the max drive i would make to wheel, so this would be fine. 5.5 -6hrs is not bad to spend good times with good people.

It's a thought, I am just keeping guys with stock vehicles that want to come in mind. I don't know Drummond Island at all, so if anyone has been there with guys that are stock and had no problems then I'm all for it.
