Who is in for a night ride on Friday night like last year?

Ummm I AM!

And for those who ponder... our "short" night ride from stateline, up 5 to 4 up the ledge and back turned out to take a while, i think near 4 hours worth maybe. Lots of us were newbs at the time and moved very slow. I know I was half scarred to death the first hour. All i ever heard about mighty Tellico were crazy large rocks and ledges and I thought at any moment we would come upon some. Then on the way back down Seth (red99wj) got his sway bar jammed into his..... (something to do with steering) and Billy had to use a high-lift to get it all back out so we could keep moving. It was a great time though!

Highlift? Sounds like a tie-rod incident to me  ;D

Ok.. So this is WAY in advance but who thinks they probably ride up early friday (like noon or 1)? I am thinking seriously off taking off friday the 27th of June that way I can sleep in a little, pack up the Jeep, meet up with whoever and be at Stateline (assuming we plan to stay there) by like 3 on friday. Gives me plenty of time to unpack and maybe go ride a little before everyone else gets there and we hit up a good night ride.

I should be able to get Friday off and if that is the case then I will be leaving as soon as I can get myself up. I had a lot of fun on that Friday ride last week. I would love to do that again.

I could get down there by 5 or so on Friday.

And actually, I would prefer to get down there Friday. Last year, it was not fun. My parents and I went to Knoxville for orientation Thursday night, got there at midnight. Got up at 5 the next morning, went through orientation, and got back home by 9 or so. Got all my stuff together, went to sleep at 11, woke up at 4. Drove to Tellico, rode all day, left at 8:30 that night. Got back at home at like 2. And slept.

It was not fun.

are we going to camp at crawfords or stateline? Last time we did stateline. How far is Crawfords from the trails(not trail 1) Stateline is pretty much right there for T5

OK by me. What is the cost difference? I sure would enjoy a shorter trail time trip! :D

I think a campsite is $10 per night but you can fit 3 or 4 tents easily with Rigs. I know last time, Daniel, Mike and Me had out rigs, tents and Mike had one of those fold out canopy things all set up with plenty of room to spare.

Cool, just split the $10 amoung the 3 I guess. I have a small back pack tent so no room needed by me. Lookin forward to it. Hopefully I can make it up. Gotta start saving cash now. Last trip broke me!

Stateline sites are $20 per night and are first come first serve.  I may go up on Thursday night just to be safe.
