Good place for the meetup. I'd been by there a dozen times and never paid any attention, to my shame. It's a challenge sometimes balancing between going places and just being places, or just being where you are so good to stop and look around.
Like the parking lot photo. As always I gotta be different. I just can't bring myself to park downhill on the sidestand.
Unlike those FLs, the C10 sidestand doesn't lock in place. My official excuse.
I'd mentioned there are some good roads right around the corner from Leesburg, so here's a bad google link to some of them in case any of you make it out that way again. Should at least give a direction to go. Be forewarned that there's some sketchy roads off the beaten track. The area around Weiss lake is interesting in that there are lots of large flat fields, many full of cotton but there are steep hills and passes nearby. You can go from miles of passing 1000s of acres of flat fields looking more like south of I-20 to a few miles later running along the Little river Canyon looking down a steep cliff face. I believe a few of you went back on 411 so that's a sample of the flat part, but there's a lot of that flatness from the lake until you get south of 278 and from there a lot of lumpiness all the way to 78.

For the rally, there's Guntersville State Park (duh!), but also DeSoto and Cheaha state parks close by (close for Concours owners!). Cheaha is the highest point in Alabama, though that's not very high. Also close to Guntersville is Buck's Pocket. It's been looking run down lately due to budget cuts but interesting nonetheless. Think I at least marked DeSoto and Buck's Pocket on one of the maps.
Also, off-topic but still has two wheels. I'm terrible at remembering names, but if you were listening to me speak of a Huffy - here it is on the trail. $20 Huffy with $40 worth of tires.
Doesn't roll so good which makes for better exercise.
