Do you guys always launch from South Lick Fork Ramp?
It took me a while to find your route on my MapSource Digital Map but I found it. Looks like a more direct route to the South Lick Fork Launch ramp.

1025 E runs North South. Is that road curvy or hilling or both?

I went though Ferdinand one time but it was by accident and it was a long time ago.

About the time we got to 1025 it was raining so hard I could hardly see and the lightning was crazy . We found out later that a tornado had hit Marango so this short-cut may have saved our lives !
