If you eat at the prison, I can definitely recommend the nachos. I think I've had them every time I've been there.

Looks like me and knuckledeep are down for Friday we are staying at RRB. How can we get to you on sxs?

For everyone staying at RIDE ROYAL BLUE & THE RIDGES campgrounds the fastest way to the Hardee's departure point at exit 141 is as follows:

Get on Stinking Creek road turn left (going west). Continue on Stinking Creek rd across the I75 overpass until it comes to a T (that's TN HWY 63).

Turn Left onto HWY 63 and take it to the truck stops, Hardee's & Comfort Inn are between and behind the Pilot & TA .

Takes about 20 minutes from RRB to Hardee's.

Ok so many people arrive early before the main Takeover events for Fri evening and Saturday. Multiple have asked me via PM about guiding to Brushy Mountain Prison.

BMP & the Wardens Table Restaurant is open Thursdays through Sundays 11AM to 7PM.

This is a minimum 95 mile to 115 mile loop depending upon route and trail difficulty due to weather conditions. I have taken groups there and back as quickly as 7 hours in great conditions to 13 hours in poor conditions.

That said, if it remains very dry as it is forecast to and has been here. It will be an easy but dusty run.

I am willing to take people that want to go both Thursday and Friday 6/3 & 6/4. I will be ready to depart each day at 9AM from the Hardee's parking lot next to the Comfort Inn at I75 exit 141 that is at end of Sundquist Trail 12.

After a few dozen trips with groups I have found the best route is to go straight there 39 miles by 25 mph scenic backroads all paved except 3 miles of gravel. Stop at New River Train on the way, then to Brushy Mountain for lunch by 11am-12pm spend a couple hours there for those who want to eat, sample moonshine and other spirits made on grounds. Tour prison and gift shop. Head back about 2pm by trail going through New River & Royal Blue trails stop at Eternal Flame and back to exit 141 / campgrounds hopefully by 7-8 pm.

I have never had to re-fuel even on 120 mile loop using 6.5 gal of 7.9 gal capacity in a Pioneer 1000. Typically only use 5.5 gal. There are 2 places that fuel can be gotten if need be, but please be completely topped off before we depart.

Please reply so I can get an idea of numbers for each day.

We can go Thursday or Friday, probably Thursday since so many are going Friday!

The rest of our group is in for the Thur ride. 7 machines. @JACKAL Do you have a limit on the number of machines you're comfortable with? I have a radio, along with 2 others in our group, and would be willing to help with organizing the group, herding cats, etc.

For this trip 30 machines, mainly because no difficulty to slow people down and not a hard route to navigate.
