Hopefully we'll "all" go to Tellico, but I think we should pick a "First" run that is more central location to most people. So Summertown or LBL is fine with me. Are we sure there are enough trails for a full day at LBL? Given it's spring (muddy time of year) and they won't let you on trails that are muddy.

Jack,

If you get this up and going PM me with the information. I don't check here as often as I used to - travelling during the week consumes much of my time. I am home most weekends and would travel to wheel.

PM's get sent to my e-mail box and it shows up on my phone.

Hope to see ya soon !

Doc

PS - I loved the Sunday morning run - You have to take me to see that Cabin !!!!

so, what are we looking at now.....summertown the 24th?

I'm also able to do whatever this weekend. I'll probably be in knoxville, but if something could be pulled together it might be possible.

Paddy's was water logged today, I just rode my atv because there is no way I could get my 4runner in current state on trails. I would imagine that it will be a while before lbl or paddy's dries out. It is ok for atvs due to size but trails have too many ruts with water to safely ride without damage.

Work is starting to pick up for me, but I may be able to join you guys with whatever you decide. Remember this time of year LBL closes a lot so it is best to call # 270-924-2000 to find out if they are closed or not.
When I was there last they handed me a flyer that states to avoid mud puddles, but they were unavoidable. I just didn't go through them at full speed with the intenet to splash it everywhere. I think they don't want people to rut it up too much or something.

I'm up for an LBL trip at the end of this month. Most everything else is just a little too far to drive for me right now. Lots of other trips comming up.

Don't they renew yearly permits @ LBL in March?

I was afraid of that spring being the muddy season...I'd like to try Summertown, don't think they have the same issues as LBL. Lbl would be good in the summer when it's warm enough to swim , boat and camp ?
You guys in Nashville Summertown would be just as close right ?
I'm gonna do all of them this summer so it's just a matter of which one first...
I'm taking my kids to Disney the week of the 24th, and I'm going to the Toyota Crawl in Harlen April 1rst So I vote the 17th
Let's don't be paralyzed by analysis ?

So Summertown the 17th ??????

I think the new year starts April 1st for the permit I think it is $60 for a year and around $15 for one day.
