Absolutely - we certainly can. When it gets close to you getting home, we will figure out a location. How hard do you want to wheel & how aggressive is your rig?

Hurricane Gap is a 2wd trail, mostly gravel - but it does have an AWESOME view from the fire tower. Horse Creek is just a few miles from there, a little harder trail and gorgeous views. If you're up for a little challenge, we can head 30-35 minutes up hwy 107 to Bumpus Cove. :kewl:

One thing we need to keep in mind though is that the USFS may have some trails closed by that time of year. If so, we do have alternatives - and I highly recommend Harlan, KY. If you do want to try it, you can meet me in Bulls Gap and I can show you the straightest, easiest way to get there (US hwy 25E to KY hwy 119). ;)


Btw, here is a pic from the last time I was at the Hurricane Gap fire tower. The view is looking toward Hot Springs, NC. After cropping the top & bottom edges, I made it the wallpaper on my computer:
