I'd like to plan a 3-5 day trip in the beginning of April. I live in Wisconsin, somewhere within ~500 miles would be nice. Snow free/very little snow areas are a must, warm temps are preferred. I was thinking either the Buffalo River trail in AR or Red River Gorge in KY. Thanks in advance for sharing ideas!

You ought to be able to string together a 4 day route between cabins.As for warm locations near by, I'm still trying to figure that one out…
