My proposed camping area is further north up route 33 from the Sipsey River.
In grid B10, page 23, of the Gazetteer, roughly 8 miles north of the Sipsey
crossing, there is a paved county road, Lawrence County Road 6, that goes
off to the left (west) and defines the southern edge of the Sipsey
Wilderness. Going down this road about 3/4 mile you find a gravel road on
your right, FS 224. This is marked by a wooden post that as I remember
simply says "FS 224". This runs for about 3 miles and dead-ends at a _small_
circular parking lot at Borden Creek. The Forest Service asks for $3/car/day
as a user fee to be paid in a metal collection box, and there are tent sites
along the creek there. That be the X on the map. And there are no amenities,
bring your own water, trowel, etc. The creek contains largeish stonerollers
(hooray!), _Percina_ species darters, a bunch of _Etheostoma_ species
darters, and the usual cast of shiners/chubs (at least).
