Yeah, you can actually see its entirety in map 34 of the 2012 map.
I was only thinking about going out for a day trip. All the research I've done has shown it to have some good obstacles. I'm not sure how long it would take to traverse. Was considering running the circuit around the Barbour's Creek wilderness from the east side. If we had extra time, I'm sure we can find another trail to explore.
If we're going to do this, I do want to call the forest service and make sure its open. It has a listing as closing on the 10th of Jan, but I've known them to close some trails early.
Figured that Friday the 2nd would be good because we likely wouldn't have many other people out there. Might make sense to meet at the BP at this address: 1812, Thompson Mem Dr Roanoke, Virginia 24019 and then drive out. Or I could meet you at the trail head if you wanted to take a different route than 81.
