Our wet spring and summer has been good for forest service roads. Sunday, Greg and me investigated some new to us roads and trails between Old Fort and Black Mountain to the south and bordering north at the BRP between Mt Mitchell turn off and NC-80 intesection. Like it's been for a few months: there's just enough moisture in the roads to keep them packed, dust free and big fun for dual sports.
Fer example: We ran out of time to try it Sunday but according to more detailed maps the following road from the BRP goes all the way down to the town of Black Mountain. We'll be back!

BTW, we consider road gates as barriers only to keep tourists and the clueless from getting stuck/lost/eaten by bears...not us!
