I'll be driving down Saturday morning from Louisville, looking forward to it!

Not sure if I'll be able to make it that weekend yet. Sounds like a lot of fun though. I have a .GPX file of the DBBB that i got from GAIA GPS cloud. I have attached it for download below. Haven't had a chance to test it, but it lines up on the map with the small stretches I have done before.

Thanks, that shows the whole loop nicely. I think the best thing to do would be to start at the north side on Spaas Creek (via Nada Tunnel?) then Pumpkin Hollow, and work our way around counter clockwise. We can end the day going off a small detour to an overlook near Cave Fork Road at the south end. The eastern side of the loop isn't as good (in my opinion), but Sky Bridge and Natural Bridge are worth checking out.

Enjoyed some of this route last Nov. with Southern Four Wheel.

My buddy and I don't mind to lead though - we can take some detours to check out caves and overlooks on the way, and point out alternative routes at obstacles as necessary.

What he said. Gaia makes a great app.

I will be interested in at least going to the meet and greet, but with not having an off road capable vehicle that is about all I will be good for.

You’re more than welcome to ride along!

 

[Sierrahotel83]

I very well may take you up on that

Honestly I was hoping someone would offer. I am new to all this, off-roading and so forth. I figured by getting involved with a community like this while I am still running around in a car I would be able to meet people and learn more about the off-road aspect

Sounds like a perfect trip for a new guy. I'll put in for a couple vacation days.

~Swaffybuilt here. I am 90% in. Need to discover and figure out a GPS app.

Has anyone posted the Rally point in the Midwest or Southeast Facebook groups? I can post it in them if not.
