I live in NE Alabama, about 45 minutes from Chattanooga. Just up the mountain from Scottsboro.

What kind of hiking do you have up your way? I usually go to the Sipsey Wilderness in Bankhead NF, but I'm trying to expand my territory a bit.

I've found this place to be exceedingly helpful and the people friendly. I hope your time here is great!
