Thanks for posting that! It was beautiful. So much so that I am going to go back out this Saturday. Anyone interested? I'm gonna leave Birmingham around 7:00 or 7:30 and get an early start. The wife needs me home by 3:00 so I gotta have as much fun as possible by 2ish before I head home. Let me know if you're interested. So much to see and do with so little time.

 

What are the trails like out there? Is it mainly dirt roads or is 4 wheel drive needed alot.

 

It's a little bit of everything. I used 4 wheel low quite a bit. There are dirt roads, gravel roads and paved roads. All have off shoots that are a blast. The ranger told me that if the gate to a trail was open, we were allowed to take it. So there are numerous trails that require 4 high and 4 low and some that are not as tough. There's definitely enough out there to make a day of it though.

 

Are you planning on riding CR 6000-1 to CR 307? If we leave at 7AM what time do you think we will get back to B'ham? If it's not to late than I'm probably in.

 

I haven't really considered which route yet. Last Saturday we took 20 to 431 to 281 and rode in from there. I'm open to whatever.

I HAVE to be HOME by 3:00. So that means I'll make my way out of the park around 2:00.

 

I got in touch with the guy who usually leads the trail ride, and he said he likes CR 6000-1. We could start it from the other end and end up coming out by Sylacauga.

I will probably be going if we are back by 3pm.

 

Looking at 6000-1 to 307 on Google maps looks like a nice route. Just take 280to Sylacauga catch 148 and then a left onto 6000-1?

 

Looks like you guys had a blast. Where the trails challenging or basically a trail ride? Looking forward to meeting you guys some day.

 

There was a mud hole here and there and some "moguls" that the four doors had some trouble with but all in all it was mainly trail rides. Some long some short but we only did probably a quarter of the park. It was a really fun day. We're actually heading back tomorrow morning early if you're (or anyone) interested. We're meeting at the Chevron at the Leeds/Bass Pro Shops exit off of I-20 at 7:30. A CB and or two way radios are ideal. For anyone reading this post, two way radios are a wonderful tool! I picked up a pair at Bass Pro Shops for $39.99 and they're perfect. I think they're made by Midland and the box has an ATV on it. I would actually prefer to use them instead of the CB because my antenna was rocking so hard last weekend and it was annoying. I need to tighten it maybe. So far for tomorrow it looks as if we've got 5 or 6 Jeeps joining us.

 

How was the trails yesterday, did yall find some good ones?
