Skyline, AL   February 21st & 22nd, 2009
 
I'm once again planning a ride at the Skyline WMA for the 3rd Saturday in February. This is the third straight year I've done this and I'm already working on some ideas for how to make this one bigger and better.

The founding members of the Smokey Mountain Cruisers introduced themselves at Skyline 2008 and this year some of you will get your first look at the newly formed Alabama Chapter of the TLCA: the DixieLand Cruisers! Werd (from IH8mud.com) is the contact for DLC and he's going to coordinate with some of the other chapters to see if they're interested in coming.

There is no registration fee for this event!

*************************the details*************************

Meeting Place:
Thackerson's Gas Station @ Skyline

Address:
11 AL Highway 146
Scottsboro, AL 35768

I think this will be the best place for everyone to meet up. There's a parking lot across the street from the store that should allow enough room for everyone to park until all parties arive. Plus everyone can fill up on gas and snacks before we head out.  If you plan to trailer your rig please PM me so I can give you details about where to park your truck and trailer.

Everyone should be able to get directions by using the address for the store listed above.

Meeting Time:
Everyone try to make it by 8:00 AM CST. We probably won't leave out for the trail until 8:30 or so in case people run late. Could be hard to estimate the time correctly with the trip some will be making.

NOTICE: Unless you have Cingular cell service you probably won't get much of a signal once you get on top of Skyline Mountain. I've got Verizon and it's hit or miss (mostly miss).


Details are still be working out for those looking for overnight stay and this post will be updated as info comes in.

Ground Rules:

Since this is a WMA there are some rules that we all need to take into consideration.
(1) Alcohol is strictly prohibited inside the WMA.
(2) No firearms

Also print out this map and put your sig on it. This will be your permit for the WMA. Just keep it in your glovebox.
