Thread: Our recent trip to the mountains

I don't own a Jeep, but there are several places in the area that rent side by side ATV's. Apparently they are legal to operate on road in Tennessee. I mentioned to my wife that we might need to check into one in the future. Checking out some real back roads seems like it would be interesting.

Mike, we were in the Wear Valley area as I recall, and decided to jump off and take a back road up to a little town further down the highway. The local map warned of unpaved roads that might not be maintained, etc, etc but the one we took was at least 20 feet wide, gravel (metal to our NZ folks), and smooth as silk. The only "warning" needed was "your vehicle may get dusty if you go too fast". In 15 miles or so we never met another vehicle, and only saw one pulled off at a place where there was a hiking trail to a fishing spot up the hill. We had packed lunch and thoroughly enjoyed being out in the woods away from the hustle & bustle.
