Lynn and I decided to take a break from raking leaves and go see some elsewhere. The AdV Off road tag was at Moorman Outlook over by Anniston in the Long Leaf Pine Management Area, so we decided to go get it and move it to a new location.
Left the house shortly after 10 and rode a bunch of the small county roads over to Anniston and Jacksonville. Took awhile to find the roads we were looking for, but finally did. The road up to the overlook was freshly graveled, nice big rolly polly stuff. Made for some interesting climbing.

I had noticed a side road on the way up the Mountain, the sign at the turn;

We went back out to Bain's Gap Road, and took it back to Choccolocco Rd. We then headed east on Joseph Spring Rd over to Talladega Nat'l Forest.

We got to 500 and headed north;

Then down to Sweetwater Lake for the lunch we packed;

Then we decided to ride home. Went North on 500 to Coleman lake where we picked up 531 and came out at Rabbittown. From there it was little backroads home to beat the sun going down.
