Right on man, sounds like a fun trip. Where is Savage Gulf at?

 

[speedster1370]

That is home away from home right there. personal cabin? very nice nonetheless.

Savage Gulf is a great place. There's a cabin about 8 miles from a parking area you could hike to and set up camp. Just can't remember the name of the cabin or which loop it is on.

 

[speedster1370]

Do you remember the general area or coordinates by chance?

hobbs cabin down on the south end of savage gulf. it's a good weekend loop.used to go out there all the time. take the north plateu trail. camp at meadow creek campsite one night, then on to hobbs cabin and it loops back to the ranger station.you can get water but purify it about a mile from meadow creek going in. spring behind hobbs cabin. purify it.

Another good trail out there is at the stone door ranger station.
go out to the stone door overlook go out to big creek campsite and then down into the gulf, back up the stone door and to the ranger station. you can find water in big creek down in the gulf from the big creek campsite.

when i worked out there back in the 80's , seems like there was some ice cream place we used to always visit in tracey city. i used to do alot of climbing and rapelling around the door. i don't know if you remember a movie the hank jr story. hank was played by the guy that was john boy walton. they filmed the scene where hank fell off a cliff on the cliff to the left of the stone door.
