Daniel Boone National Forest - SFWDA Meet And Ride - November 12, 2016

SFWDA Meet and Ride Hosted by Ohio River FourWheelers

The Ohio River Four Wheelers would like to invite everyone from SFWDA whether your a member or not to head north for an exciting day of wheeling with us in the Daniel Boone National Forest / Red River Gorge area.
We would like to show our appreciation for all the support SFWDA has provided to help develop and promote the Daniel Boone Back Country Byway / DBBB.
There are no registration fees or trail access fees for this event. We have enlisted volunteers from several local clubs to assist as trail boss, mid-gunner, and tail-gunners, for several trail combination packages, from mild to hardcore.
We will have something for everyone. Experience some of the trails you've heard about in this area: DBB, Carburetor Hill, Hairpin, Widowmaker, and others.
The Slade / natural bridge area is about 165 miles north of Knoxville, tn at exit 33 off the Burt T. Combs mountain parkway.

Do we need tags and insurance for this event?

Re: SFWDA Meet and Ride -- Daniel Boone National Forest, Slade KY -- November 12, 20

Every person on Hardline is a member of SFWDA, all they have to do is send me their name and email to be added to the roster.

Yes but you have a tag on yours lol??????????

U should b fine Poolman , I've ran it for years & never had any trouble

a lot of the guys with us didn't we had rail buggys with us also

I have a few friends that have been running that area in gayzrs over the course of this year. They have not had any problems that I know of.

I will be there! Looks like a great place to ride.

Hope to make it myself.rode there for years,now my crew is scared of good trails.lol

looks like forest fires are going on!where are the buggy guys meeting up?

Yeah , there's a good forest fire burning as of tonight but it's on opposite side of where we ride & Saturday is opening day for modern rifle deer season

I am a local and our club (Kentucky Krawlers) will be helping lead a few of the groups. If you ever wanted to ride in the Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge/Slade Ky area, now is your chance. It should be a good time. If you can't make it on the 12th feel free to come up the weekend after (19th) and join us for our annual Kentucky Krawlers Toy Ride. PM or post up of you want more details.

To answer your questions about tags and insurance - the answer is yes, you need them. The meeting spot is right off of Mountain Parkway in Slade Ky. You will have to drive about 5-6 miles before you get off of pavement, and even then a lot of the "trails" are actually listed as country roads by which means the USFS can ticket/impound illegal rigs.

If you are not legal and interested in riding, I suggest you get with a local and try to get that hooked up on your own. ;D

i am tagged and insured, just no windows or doors and some tweaked steel wheels that have some wobble.lol might park at hollerwood.or the other side at sand springs or what ever it;s called :smoke: thanks

what time is everbody meeting

Had a good ride yesterday leading the Hard group with the help of 07gmc. We ended up riding around 16 miles of trails I think with 8 folks in our group. Here's a few pics from the group.
