Hopefully not that deep.   We will re-route for anything overly treacherous.  Fast water at air box height likely qualifies as treacherous.

Ken is leading this ride, but I plan to do a little pre-riding/exploring over Memorial Day Weekend.

Pre-ride leg 1 will look something like this:  https://goo.gl/maps/Gttob2TuovE2

Also planning to check out Fall Hollow campground on the pre-ride.  It's only seven miles from Meriweather campground, and you have to pay to camp, but they have hot showers and a restaurant...

For creek difficulty reference, here's some vids from a ride I did last year in the area.

The deepest one (where the XR got dumped in the first video) was probably 8" - 10" at the most.

I was going to stay at fall hollow this spring on the TN. Dual sport ride but did not go due to bad weather. I do not know the area but it sounded nice.

Looks like my collateral has been accepted and verbal approval to attend this ride has been granted!

My plan will be to ride up from the Birmingham area Friday afternoon unless something comes up and I have to trailer up later in the evening!

My birthday is the 9th so I will be expecting gifts and cake!

Thanks

Cake....  It's a Ride For Pie!!! Make do there buttercup.... LOL  :D

IF the tropics will allow be the window of opportunity to get away from work... I think the other stars are aligning to attend. This would be the start of a 2-3 week Multi Leg and destination journey ridin solo.  8)

@Al Goodwin I don't know what your plans are but I think a stop at Chef Troy's on Friday for lunch is my tentative plan!

That's a great plan, but we're heading out on Tuesday for Land Between the Lakes, then Mark Twain National Forest on Wednesday night, Ozark National Forest on Thursday, before heading back east to Tennessee for Friday and Saturday nights......

At least that's the plan for now.

any idea how many miles between fuel?

any idea how many miles between fuel?

I'm going to guess about 60-80.  We'll provide a more accurate number a few days before the ride.

cool, no range issues then

[Mulley]

Put me down as a probable-maybe at this point. I'll confirm soon.

Is anyone riding Friday or just showing up in the afternoon?
