HOG Chapter Ride - Holy Bat Guano, Batman

Event date: 
Sun, 10/01/2023 - 5:00pm to 9:00pm

Road Captain Chuck P. will lead a late-afternoon ride to the bat cave near Scottsboro, AL.

Plan to stage at the Mapco at Hwy 72 & Moores Mill Road (1582 US Hwy 72E, Huntsville, AL) @ 5pm.  We'll go KSU @ 5:30pm.  Estimated return will be 9pm.  A meal stop is not planned.

We'll take Hwy 72 East to a parking near the bat cave.  It's a short walk from the parking area to the viewing platform for viewing the entrance/exit of the bat cave.  The bats will leave the cave shortly after sunset to feed.  It'd be a pretty good idea to bring an umbrella (not for rain), insect repellant, & a flashlight.  After watching the bats for a bit, we'll return to the Moores Mill/Hwy 72 Mapco.  On the return ride, a gas stop can be made, if one is needed.

Holy Bat Guano, Batman...let's ride and check out some bats!
