jason,
cool ... we will most likely depart from the trailhead (pay station) at 9:00 AM Saturday morning ... the trailhead that is near the beginning of trail 6 ... but we will probably take the dirt road (trail 1) and hit trail 5 first, which leads to trail 4 and then to 8, and back using trail 4 to the dirt road (trail 1) ... we will want to have lunch on the trail
ducktrooper,
2 nights of camping sounds great, i usually use camp #3, no fees required to camp, it's near a stream, has a port-a-potty, and firewood can usually be found. I've never driven from Knoxville to Tellico, but I think its about 2 1/2 hours drive thru Tellico Plains. After the long winding road along the creek/river, you pass a small settlement of houses, single-wide trailers, and camp stores, then the first camp site you come to on the right is Camp #3. I'll be going from Chattanooga to Cleveland and across to Murphy (not thru Knoxville), but I can plan to arrive by early afternoon and set up camp, then wheel Friday afternoon with you and anyone else who arrives in time!
BBRocky,
glad to have you along, let us know when your schedule firms up ... it's the Saturday before 4th of July weekend, so hopefully family vacation plans won't interfere with wheeling plans ... it most likely won't be too, too crowded that weekend, and camp #3 has room for dozens of rigs even if it is crowded
general info:
$5 per day to ride trails, and there's more general info and maps at these links:
