Aetna Meeting for Saturday
« on: March 10, 2008, 11:39:14 AM »
How about 8:30am at the McDonalds at the Browns Ferry exit (Exit 175) off I-24 West?  We can grab a bite, fuel up, pack coolers and be at the trail head and ready to roll out by 9:30.  Chime in.

Here are directions for those who haven't been:

Take I-75 North across the GA/TN state line and proceed to the I-75/I-24 split.  Take I-24 West towards Nashville.  Once you wind around the river on your right, you will get off at Browns Ferry Rd. Turn left and you will see the McDonalds and gas station on your left.

If you don't want to meet at McDonalds, just keep past McDonalds about a mile and you will come to a traffic light.  At the light, you will stay straight, which will put you onto Wauhatchie Pike.  You will go about a mile and turn right onto Cummings Rd.  Follow Cummings Rd. about 3/10 mile past the I-24 bridge and you will turn left into (what looks like) a new subdivision with no houses.  You will follow that drive up and around a small "round about" and come to the top of the hill and turn left onto the gravel road.  About 500 yds up is where most people unload and it is obvious when you get there.

Jerm, we should meet up about 6:15 at the BP. Should give us time to grab a biscuit at the MD.

Also, unless you guys want to go through hellacious mud, I am going to take us around the mud.  Right now, the mud is about 2 feet deep on the main trails.

Depending on the weather for this weekend... they show rain fri and sat, I may head up with you guys Sat. I am still planning on heading up friday but I don't feel like camping in the rain. If anyone is heading up friday let me know and we can group up. If raining I will see you guys Saturday at the meet point!
I've grown tired of this.

Rain or shine, I will be there.  I will just be going around all the mud holes.

Well go!  What's a little rain gonna hurt?  It couldn't be worse than Tellico or Morris Mountain.  Which in my opinion, MM wasn't bad, I got to do some riding which was the whole point of me going there.  And since Aetna is my favorite place we've been to, I'm gonna be there. You said yourself, you've got a winch now, so.. no worries.

There is a nice dry bypass for the one huge set of mud holes. I used it last trip out on the 2nd.
