ok---so I'm (like others) more or a lurker than active participant.....but I do learn something, every now and then......
but I was wondering......what ever happened to 'Spokes'? really loved his avatars!
The fire road going up Basin Creek from the access on Longbottom Rd. all the way up to the Parkway is great. Long, 7+mi. gradual uphill walk that is moderately sloped enough to be very enjoyable, yet still good training. Creek is lovely with a handful of easily waded crossings. There is a side trail which goes 3+miles up to a neat old still standing homeplace. That grade is a little more challenging in parts and is strictly out and back unless you bushwhack. Only been up to the cabin once. There are several good loops that could be put together for a great, varied, 3day trip. As a bonus there are some good exhibits at the top along the Parkway. Might be a good venue for you, TW, your husbands if available, and me to get some miles in this spring. Just thinkin out loud. Love to actually do it though. Close to you and 3 hrs drive each for me and TW.
