Are these good directions?

BULL GAP TRAILHEAD
From the intersection of AL 21 and AL 148 in downtown Sylacauga, AL, go east on AL 148 for 11.5 miles
to the top of the ridge, at Bull Gap.
There are two dirt roads here on the left that are about 50' apart. Turn left on the first dirt road, FS
607 / Old Rocky Mountain Road.
Go 50 yards to the trailhead parking area, on the left.

Southern Terminus / Park Start Hike Vehicle
0.0 ~ FS 603A TRAILHEAD
From the Bull Gap Trailhead parking area, go back out to AL 148 and turn right.
Go 8.1 miles to FS 603. It’s 0.6 miles past 4 mile marker. Turn left.
Go 2.6 miles to FS 603A. Turn Left.
Go 0.5 miles to a fork in the road with a gate blocking the left fork. As of 1-20-12, this is the
temporary FS 603A Trailhead parking area.

From Sylacauga go south on AL 21 about 2 mi. and turn left on CR 511, go about 3½ mi. to FS 603 and turn left, go about 1½ mi. to 603A and turn right, then go about ½ mile to a fork in the road. There will be a gate blocking the left fork. The trailhead is up the right fork a couple of hundred yards or so on the left.

Either directions will get you to 603A TH.
I prefer SR 148, it's a little closer and better rds.

Sounds like the weather will cooperate, so you may have a good turn out
and get a lot done. Watch for copperheads, I saw a couple this week.

I'm off to E. Tn. (again)Sat. AM
