Does this place have any bike trails?

Yes there are bike trails for mountain bikes, not street bikes. The property is about 270 acres worth with nice riding.

I'm Figuring a 12 hour drive at a minimum probably closer to 15 hours to anyplace that is six hours away from DEz unless it is north and east of Tenn.

All I need is a for sure place and date.
I WILL be there even if I have to threaten to quit my job and divorce the wife!
Wait. She already gave me her blessings so I get to keep her.

I talked to Lloyd this morning and there is a pretty good possibility we'll make that 15+ hour ride.

I would be down to car pool with someone in the illinois area if i am able to go.

I haven't followed this thread close. Has anyone mention Hickory, N.C. fair grounds. They already have an air gun event there every year and are hip with the A/G scene.

I don't know where on the west coast of Tenn. you live Dez. Google say it 497 mile from Jackson,TN. I could make that in 8 hours not counting wee-wee stops.

Yup, I'll give it a 90% chance that i'll be there with Marty. Wife says I can't go alone, even if I wear a "my name is... please call ... if lost..." name tag, and promise to be inside before dark.

I have a bunch of pictures of the facility inside and out and the camping area. I sent them to Dave and they simply are not getting through. I suspect it is a thingy with hotmail itself....maybe The pics are too large??

Anyway, can someone else send me a message and I’ll reply with the pics to help try to figure out what’s going on here....

Then maybe try to get them to Dave or post them here.

Thanks!!!

Eric, I've got Hotmail too and it has not been playing well with others for the past few days.

I'm in for Horse Shoe Bend or Natchez for that matter.

Notes on Natchez: The rifle range (100 yards) will only allow for about 4 shooters and can NOT be used if people are on the pistol range. The pistol range has 10 lanes but only a few are under the covered bench area. They max out at about 25 yards. The parking area would only accommodate 10-15 vehicles without resorting to parking in the grass. There are no restroom facilities (save for the trees) or electrical service. I really enjoy shooting there but I do not think it will be satisfactory for the amount of people we would like to have. Link to the location below. The topography is deceiving from the satellite view. There is a steep hill that bottoms at the creek.

the 25 yard limit is not enough to stretch out our guns/legs. I can do that in the backyard... Too bad

Horseshoe Bend, AK sounds like a good place and deserves consideration.
It is too far for me but no location is close to everyone.

Hi Earl (the mountain mover)! Sorry it looks like you might not be this year. Thanks again for taking care of lunch for that group of us last year. We'll be thinking about you if you don't make it.
