AETNA NATION-

SATURDAY AUGUST 10TH, the first organized Aetna Mountain ride in a long time! Meeting at the Raccoon Mountain Caverns in Lookout Valley. Starts at 9 am until? This is a benefit ride for Helen Burns Sharp in order to help with her expenses in fighting the extremely questionable TIF concerning Aetna Mountain Road. Also contributions to the fire department would be welcome. Bring your family to the Caverns and Go-Kart tracks! All of the proceeds from the Karts and the majority of the proceeds from the Caverns will go towards Helen. Also, there will be parking for your trail rigs and trailers. If you have a street legal ride you can take the Aetna Mountain Road and if your ride is not street legal, another access road is being provided so that you won't have to get on the pavement! I would also like to suggest that we all take a garbage bag and bring it off full since it has been so long since the mountain has had much love or care! More info to follow and if you have question we will try and address it. Aetna Mountain is ALIVE, it has taken some time, but we are back! Just be sure and pick up trash and respect others, thanks! Aetna Nation decals will be available, too!

Here is the woman that it is benefiting

Im thinking about making this ride. It looks like a campground is right there can me and the family just stay there and ride to the trail in my rig? Stupid question i'm guessing but I want to make sure before I make the trip!

Considering I pass by the exit on for this to and from work I got off and swung by today after work the turn in for Raccoon Mnt caverns is .2 miles pasts the black creek subdivision for any wondering. My best guess is it'll be the same as going thru the subdivision pretty much, but will bump in some where on the trail maybe a little further up considering how close the 2 are. I don't know for sure only been up there a few times and only up Whiteside never thru the subdivision so I'd love to go check it out in the daylight but I can't get there this weekend so have fun and post some good pics and videos :dblthumb:
