We usually take I-75 or Hwy 27 regardless of which one we are going to. Black mountain is in Harlan county Kentucky. Right in the Ky, TN, and NC corner. Evarts is the closest town to there.
I usually go north on 127 into kentucky and ride the mountains up there. I live about 20 miles from exit 317 off of I-40 so if you are on I-40 during any of your trips let me know and if i haven't found a spare by then i can meet you. shipping u.s.postal was gonna be about 25 bucks so i'm not sure i would be saving that much. i am from knoxville originally and travel there occassionally so maybe i could meet you there on one of your trips. i would imagine to go to royal blue you take I-75 to I-40 and possibly when you ride winrock too. and if black mountain is where i think it is then i bet you go the same way. just let me know. thanks dj-- Cumberland Plateau, TN
