Since it's in KY & TN, a Big South Fork Topic. Opinions?
Funny that you mention it. It's an interesting (well at least to me) discussion we've had before. BSF was pretty much the reason for the "Surrounding Areas" board... but it's also "In Kentucky"... and usually fit's in the "Backpacking / Hiking Discussion".
"Surrounding Areas" has since become pretty much the catch all for anything that's not KY. My thought is that since part of it is "In Kentucky" there's no reason to not post there about subjects exclusively within the TN side of BSF... but that may not be obvious or intuitive and so others might not think to look there. To me it seems significant enough to have it's own board.
I would suggest by theme, and then like RRG certain special regions:
- BSF
- Mammoth Caves
- LBtL
- Pine Mtn
- KY R Palisades
- Daniel Boone areas
- Ohio River and Louisville Area
etc...
There's a lot of things I think people just don't know are out there, and I think we all agree that promoting the RRG too much will bite us in the butt as far as loving it to death.
Just my two cents. As far as themes, other than backpacking, there's a lot of ideas, like kayakking, hunting/WMAs, nature projects/events, etc...
I know there are too many nature preserves for us to follow all, but if people regularly shared what was happening at Bernheim, Floracliff, etc... I think the overall value of the site could increase to beyond the favorite hits.
Then again, I'm weird, so...
