Pickett SF/ Blackhouse Mtn 4 Wheelin 4 Kids December 8, 2012 Jamestown, TN

Got a lil toy drive and ride going on up at Pickett.

Come on out if you want to do some ol school trail riding, way out in the woods literally MILES from the tow rig (the place we usually camp is 15 miles in).

There will be rides out to famous overlooks (Wagon Gap, Yellow Doors, etc) and through the infamous "Car Hauler" (the exit to the trail is a lowboy that is anchored to a cliff).

Address for York Institute is 701 N Main Street, Jamestown, TN 38556

Entrance to Pickett is Blackhouse Mtn Rd

In case you've never been up to Pickett State Park/Blackhouse Mountain, it is a great trail riding spot! You can ride all day without hitting the same trails and there are some good rock climbs if you know where to look. Here are some pics of various trips up there:

Yeah.... That was last february. It was 12 degrees that day.

I'd say we'll have better weather this time! :dblthumb:

Which rig out of your fleet will you be taking that day?

Sawzall · Nov 30, 2012

Great scenery at that place. The Cove Crawlers let me ride with them a few times there.

exo xtra cab (with the doors on of course)
, gonna use it for exactly what I bought it for, all day cold weather trail ride comfort. carrying lots of food, drinks, etc.

I havent had a "capable" trail rig with glass and doors in a couple years, so it should be a nice additon.

Bring the new buggy up for the ride. I want to be able to see that thing in person!
