I'm about 14 miles north of I-40 on Hwy 75 (Okmulgee) so your reccomendation sounds perfect, and I'll stay at the Iron Stables too in ES. I hadn't heard about Hwy 7 so that will work out nice. I also want to visit Paris Ark and Mt. Magazine and Blue Mt. Lake. I should have gone down the Trail when I went to Bikes Blues and BBQ last year but I had a blast there too and I was only there on Wed and Thursday. I can't imagine how crowded it must have been on Saturday..... Thanks Russ
I know exactly where Okmulgee is...and you could easily do all of that in a weekends ride. An alternative would be, if you wanted to camp out, either Beaver Lake or Lake Leatherwood, both a few miles west of ES. Leatherwood is the lesser known of the two, and would be a cool place to camp. Personally, I'd stay at Iron Horse--not knowing when you're planning to ride, but you might want to check on making a reservation. I think they fill up pretty fast on weekends in the summer.
