[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 1143468, member: 45162"] Photo 4 ... Trail at the top of our first mountain climb ... sort of a cross between a single track ATV trail and a dirt two tracker ... although it's difficult to see in this picture, the trail drops off of this mountain, goes through several switchbacks, then climbs up the next mountain centered in the frame. As long as we were at higher elevations the trails were quite dry ... usually hard clay with large rocks present in the surface ... the rocks occasionally formed the entire surface of the trail and gave me plenty of practice climbing and descending rocky stair steps and rock-filled erosion ruts. This area was relatively easy riding and quite fun ... the greatest hazard was spending too much time looking at the scenery ... more than once I nearly ran off the trail after becoming a bit too enamored with the real estate. This trail actually turned out to be a viable route as we later emerged on one of the many National Forest roadways and therefore didn't have to backtrack through the particularly muddy climb previously described. Although not particularly evident in this shot, just off the side of the trail is an extremely steep incline ... perhaps greater than 60 degrees slope most of the time and quite often, a sheer cliff ... therefore staying on the trail is imperative to maintaining one's good health! Photo 5 ... Here's Indy blasting down one of the National Forest roadways ... they are often a combination of pure gravel surface intermixed with sections of asphalt ... we typically rode such areas at 25 to 30 mph ... a nice comfortable speed to permit assessment of the scenery while still enjoying a bit of mechanical mayhem with the machinery. Photo 6 ... One of the KY roads leading into the NF … although much of the area could well have been background for the movie Deliverance … there are many places I would be proud to call my: “Old Kentucky Home” … interestingly though, there do not seem to be many neighborhood zoning rules … behind me in this photo were several abandoned and burned-out trailers which appeared to have been that way for quite some time. Riding these paved roads was interesting for me as I have never done much road riding prior to this last summer … not much traffic down here this time of year once you get off the main highways.
