Hello,
We just got our Jeep a couple of months ago and finally have a free weekend where we might try to one night camping trip. I've looked a lot around my area and the two that stand out the most are Peters Mill Run and Flagpole Knob. I am leaning towards Flagpole Knob only because it seems like it is a longer trail where we can go up Flagpole Knob Road, find a campground for the night, then go back down via Switzer Lake Road. Does anyone have experience traveling this area? From what I've seen, to get to Flagpole Knob Road, I need to set by maps directions to "Blueberry Trail", which then goes onto Flagpole Knob Road. Then just go straight all the way to the top. Is this right?
The other option is Peters Mill, which is definitely tempting since its BOH. But it looks like it's a shorter run, then I need to find a campsite, whereas with Flagpole Knob, its dispersed camping, so I can set up anywhere. But if there are other trails or areas to explore this one would be more tempting because its closer to home.
Lastly, it'll just be me and my wife. We don't know anyone else, but these trails seem to be easy enough for stock, so we should be fine just us. I have a 21 Sport 6MT with a 3in lift, 35s and a winch I don't know how to use.
Any help on route planning or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
