Author Message   Barker Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009 - 08:53 pm:        I'll start: Parsons Branch. A short one way unpaved run thru old growth forests of the Smoky Mountains. About a dozen creek crossings and it ends in the middle of the Dragon/Deals Gap/US 129. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=C ades+Cove+Loop+Rd&daddr=35.499181,-83.933744&geoco de=FdgBHwId3K8A-w%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&s z=14&sll=35.519583,-83.90173&sspn=0.062175,0.09982 1&ie=UTF8&ll=35.503933,-83.925333&spn=0.062187,0.0 99821&z=14   Bartimus Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009 - 09:02 pm:        Wow! VERY nice pictures! Thanks for sharing...   Froggy Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009 - 10:24 pm:        Driving time 1 hour? Thats 7.5 mph average. Do you push the bike the whole way? Or do they factor in the time of you getting out of the ditch after you dump it at 50?   Barker Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 07:50 am:        FYI: It does not take me an hour.   Tginnh Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 08:34 am:        Stunning. Great photography. That road is exactly what the Uly was designed for. Thanks.   Bigdaddy Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 08:42 am:        Love Cade's Cove! Great pics.   Spud Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 08:53 am:        Lake Front Road in Land Between the Lakes. Banked paved sections with some beat-up pavement straight sections. You can explore the dirt side roads along the whole park. Just watch your speed on the Trace Road. It's 45 and trust me, you will want to go 70. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=R ushing+Creek+Rd&daddr=36.638948,-88.028297+to:Lake +Front+Rd+to:Fort+Henry+Rd&hl=en&geocode=FcivLwIdY w7B-g%3B%3BFQSLLQId4ObA-g%3BFSQqLQId-HPB-g&mra=dpe &mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=12&via=1,2&dirflg=h&sll=36.62048 8,-87.989845&sspn=0.133643,0.218353&ie=UTF8&ll=36. 612772,-88.01096&spn=0.066828,0.109177&z=13   Natron Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 09:32 am:        Question about those creek crossings. Are they the type that grow algae and moss that's slicker than greased teflon? And how challenging is Parson's Branch for someone with road-only experience?   Werewulf Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 04:48 pm:        i will find out friday... if i dont post anymore, you will know....   Werewulf Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 05:05 pm:        well, guess what! ITS CLOSED....due to mud... http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/temproadclos e.htm   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 05:51 pm:        That just means its extra fun! The bear warning is what concerns me on some of those trails. They must of let Ft_Bstrd out again.
