Danny are you talking about camping Friday night or Saturday night?

I know the answer is probably no, but is this a trail that a full side long bed truck on 33" MT's, no lockers or a stock XJ, no lift on 235/75 AT's  no lockers could do?

Thanks

I probably won't be camping at this point. We have been a little shorthanded at the shop and super busy. @Jeeptrk

The road in and out yes but the river crossings and rock crawling up the creek beds no.

There really aren't any bypasses either. If wet, the rocks can get pretty slick too so stock tires may present some problems

@jd30005 @jgerhard

He is a backwoods fella, and he doesn't have a phone,  He has internet and prefers to be contacted thru Facebook, so reach out to him... check my friends or search for him:
Tom Henderson
612 Coppinger Cove Rd
Sequatchie TN 37374

Don't forget he will take donations for the camping and guiding that go to the Coppinger Fund... I have no idea what that is or what it does...  //;D//

You don't have to cross the rivers to do a lot of the area, but you may have to drive around.  You will be in good hands with your guide and he will lead the way on 30's so don't be skeered.  //popcorn//
Has anyone had any luck contacting Tom through Facebook?  I have tried with no success.  I just want to confirm that there will be a place to park the truck/trailer and I'm happy to make any type of "donation" needed.  Appreciate any feedback.

There is room to park 20+ trucks and trailers, no worries.

Well, my trip is questionable...found out a rattling noise I was getting while changing gears was related to the pinion angle of my rear end.  I had the pinion pointed WAY too high, so now a stretch in being priced to get things right...which may mean more time in the shop.  We'll see what Allsouth comes back with for cost and time.

Just chatted with him.  Says water is very high this week.  Hopefully it will be down by next weekend.
