A few of us from Memphis are heading to Harlan for Labor Day weekend. Going to wheel Sat and Sun (Sep 3 and 4, 2022) with travel days on Friday and Monday.
We are staying on the Putney side at the Harlan County Campground (there is no electric sites available, so we will be camping in overflow field).
Plan on running some of the harder trails and with the list of trails we plan on running fully expect some body damage throughout the weekend. None of us have been here before, so this is based on hearsay and talking/texting with others to get a list of must do trails.
We are expecting the golf cart crowd (sxs) to be pretty heavy since it is a holiday weekend, but this is a bucket list area and got to take the opportunity when presented. Talked to a friend who is somewhat familiar with the area and he stated that he would expect the campgrounds to be full of drunks and partiers but the trails should be OK.
If anyone is interested in joining, send me a PM. It will be a weekend of non-stop technical wheeling, not booze cruising, especially not sightseeing and taking selfies. Must be prepared to accept some scratches/body damage or just hang out on the access roads.
