Parrformance Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 My adult son and I will be joining some friends to explore the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway in Kentucky. We will be there the week before Thanksgiving. I was curious if any other HDTer's have been to this part of southeastern Kentucky, near Slade/Stanton within the Daniel Boone National Forest? Looks like most of the travel will be on I 64, then a short stint on Bert T Combs mountain Highway. Looks like good road all the way to the CG.

BlueLghtning Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 You guys should have a blast. Have you heard of the KAT (Kenucky Adventure Trail)? I think parts of it over laps some of the Daniel Boone Byway, but probably overal more challenging than the DBB. I've ridden the entire thing on my motorcycle, but jeeps do it too. There is a separate file for jeeps vs motorcycles. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/121845738390272/ - http://annessky.net/kat/ - - - 4x4 GPX file - http://annessky.net/kat/gpx/KAT 4x4.gpx I rode it before I had my HDT so wasn't paying attention to HDT access in that area.

Parrformance Posted October 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Thanks blue lightning, I will give the KAT a look see.

We've never gotten in to the jeep life, but the motorcycling around there is great. Go to Miguel's for pizza, www.miguelspizza.com , and Rock House for a twist on home cook'n. http://redriverrockhouse.com/ Both on Rt. 11 near Natural Bridge SP.

Parrformance Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Good to hear that 4 Guys is good for us, I had booked site 36 for the trip, as the sight was long enough, and is perfect angle for straight back in. Great to be able to check sights on Google Earth. I will check out the pizza place, Red River Rock House had already made the list:) Seems that there was a time that the Red River Gorge could be traversed by vehicle, old YouTube clips, anyone know anything about this? 2006 Volvo VNL 780, " Arvey" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2010 Forest River Coachman Freedom Express 280RLS Jackalopee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrformance Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 68 Bronco was, and still is a fantastic offload weapon. Coil front springs, solid axles, short wheelbase, removable top, optional V8 power, whats not to love. Did I mention a timeless body style, looks as good today as it did brand new. 2006 Volvo VNL 780, " Arvey" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2010 Forest River Coachman Freedom Express 280RLS Jackalopee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
