I'm visiting brother-in-law in Hot Springs. Couldn't bring my Husky TE this trip but plan to return in spring. I expect there is some excellent forest gravel and jeep trail riding in the area, and hope to hook up with some of you to ride with, or get GPX tracks from this spring/summer. Charleston, SC is my home, so it's all flat, sandy and boring in comparison. If any of you run Whadahala, Rick's Rondevous, etc., we may meet up then.
If y'all are ever in Charleston, SC area, hit the Weekly Rides near Charleston, SC thread, and we'll show you what we've got. Not much technical, but some great dirt road loops across West, Central and soon to be eastern parts of state. With 72 hours notice we should be able to hook you up with a guide from the GS & Tiger crowd to the DS/KLR/KTM guys and gals. 80/20 tires will work, but Hiedenau K60 & TKC80 for the big bikes and knobbies on the smaller ones are best. Our sand and gravel are simple, but the occasional section of thin goose grease mud will nearly guarantee an unscheduled CIT (close inspection of terrain)

If you find yourself on Hogback Ridge again, take the left at the powerline cutting and go down to to top of another great ADV road (something like Laurel Fork) that comes out on Kimberling Road about 3.5 miles East of where Hogback comes out. It's actually more fun going up the hill and has several creek crossings.
