[RC] LBL Express - Hickory Ridge Arabians

Seasonal Attractions at the Land Between the Lakes
For those of you who want a little extra to go along with your ride experience the following is a list of attractions that will be open this year during the LBL Express.
 
The Homeplace, Woodlands Nature Station the Golden Pond Planetarium, Hillmans Ferry, and the Elk and Bison Prairie.  While you are viewing Bison, just right off the Trace you can visit an old iron forge.  Of course you can take your binoculars along and view all types of shore birds along trail 1 and 8.  If you are interested in water transportation you can watch barges ply the Cumberland River all day long.
 
The LBL is a great place to visit.  Lots to do and see.
 
Of course there is a first class camp ground with electric, water, showers, and a full service
restaurant at the Wranglers camp ground.  Primitive camping is also available.
 
For those of you interested in the trail this year, I am taking out the 8KK section.
8KK as you may remember is the Knee Knocker section of trail 8.  I have rerouted
it onto some very nice FS road sections with soft sides.  The power line trail is still closed
due to reclamation.  So for those of you who like a trail that is not quite as challenging as the
power line, trail 8,9,10 and 11 will do just fine.
 
Bring the kids and have a great adventure.
 
See you at the ride April 23 & 24th.
