It wouldn’t be “Where in the Shelby is FJ” if a hint didn’t go haywire every now and then. FJ is on a beautiful connector trail at Oak Mountain State Park! This trail is named after an insect that starts with “C”; however, this insect does not turn into a butterfly…. the more you know. Let this serve as a reminder that FJ is a mountain biker, not an “insect person”. Let us know in the comments if you can guess the name of this trail!
