I haven't seen anyone mention the jeep fest at Loretta Lynns yet, so here is some info. Living close by we plan on riding thru 1 day and checking out the jeeps but that's about it. They have a few trails (20 miles or so), small hill climb, rock garden and some back road rides. It's not a huge event, but worth a look if your in the area.

Good news for TN off roaders. I’ve never been but it’s another option and it seems a lot of jeepers are excited on Facebook. Not sure when they open, hopefully this year.

Golden mountain is pretty hard core. I’ve run there quite few times. Including a few time after they closed: to prep for a planned reopening. It will be good of hey can pull if off this time. It’s a cool park.
