Everett made that loop by riding into the valley and having no choice but to ride out. I think he mentioned dark, spitting snow, Sabertoothed Tigers and a Mastodon being seen down in that valley. I bet until he went in there not more than a few men traveled into it in several hundred years. The first time I went down into it there was just a few ribbons tied to trees here and there. Imagine Everett riding down in there with no trail, no branches cut, snowing, almost dark. What an adventurer!
Tim Carr is another one. He rode into valleys at Brock Creek by himself too. When Everett took me into some places that were seemingly impassible he would point to a little peice of ribbon and a couple of marks on a log from a knobby that I would have missed and tell me: "That Tim Carr was here, look at where he rode up that hill"! "Let's see if we can do it"! Sometimes we could, sometimes not. |

#28 is Schoolhouse Hollow Trail. If you rode up the worst hills on that trail you get a merit badge for Loosie Lower and Loosie Upper, that would be if you were riding east to west. If you rode west to east then you went down the Loosie hills, you then would have gone up the double climb up Schoolhouse and that hill doesn't earn a merit badge.
When you feel real mean and brave and macho, sort of like jeffro in the morning, try Copperhead. The trailhead is at the bottom of Loosie Lower, look for the stacks of rocks marking the entrence to the trail. Warning: Don't go alone and allow two hours of daylight to be safe.
See ya this Sunday? |
