Has anyone ever heard of this trail? There is a website and from looking at it, it seems more for dual sport motorcycles but a friend said he had heard of Jeeps riding on it. From what I understand, it is a bunch of old logging roads and county roads that are gravel/dirt. It is NOT some monster by any means but it looks cool to tkae the family out and just ride. Only problem is the website sells maps for like $290.00 and $50.00 or so for the local ones. I dont plan on buying one but I was curious if anyone on here had heard anything about it. I am in West Tennessee and I think it goes east and west like I-40.

 

Keep searching, you may find these roads are on topo maps available for downloading from the feds or via the GPS system of your choice.

 

I have some friends that have done it on DS motorcycles.
I'll pm the ringleader for the scoop.

 

I would be very interested in some information on this. It sounds right up my alley. I'll keep checking back on this. Thanks!

 

Bump this up. I love jeeping from one place to another on a journey even more than just crawling and climbing.

Any info???


My Friends response:


You can buy each state individual and they are priced accordingly depending on how much info is in it. That sounds about right for the entire TAT for every single state, but if you'll only be doing say TN, MS, & AR, it will be a lot cheaper to only buy those states.

I can tell you the maps are well worth it. You don't get just one little map with some highlighted route. You get several very detailed maps with miles marked, gas stops, hotels, etc. TN alone is 11 individual maps plus the roll chart pages.

If there are several guys, just go in on it together.

Here's TN:

Here's the roll chart before you cut it up and put it in a roll chart holder







I don't know how to copy & paste the pictures he sent me

 

Definately would like more info on this one! That definately sounds like an awesome trip! We'll be watching this one! Any other trails like this out there?

 

You might want to check this out. GPS points. Be creative and use google maps etc.

I believe there is also a trans continental trail as well.

Here is a link showing picts on the trail going by m/c's.

WOW, This looks like a super great JK Forum get em up and go!

 

If this is the one I'm thinking about, it was covered by nat-geo channel, they cover the us from west coast to east coast on peddle power bikes in six days nonestop, unbelievable

Something completely off-road from coast to coast would be amazing...hopefully they can find a way to complete the rest of the East Coast side.
