Will there be any pavement driving from the camp grounds to the trails?
I dont have insurance on the truck but I will put it on if we have to drive on pavement its cheaper than the ticket.

Yes, I hear you better be tagged too, the TN rangers are tough on vehicles without tags and insurance.  Drinking too.

Stateline is nice. The TN rangers are bad news. Last year we got $125 each tickets for drinking a cold beer while cooking a steak. This was ridiculous!
Bring solo cups and keep cans out of site. When the ranger pulls up solo cups go into the fire.

If you stay at state line campground on the Tennessee side then no. If you stay at Crawford's there is some pavement to the trails. But even if you stay at Crawfords, you can tow your rig and then leave your truck and trailor and the pay station on trail 1. There should be plenty of room.

Pretty sure that everyone is staying at Stateline. I have never stayed there myself, but apparently the rangers are asses. I'm sure other guys will have input on this, but I know tons of untagged and unregistered rigs leave from there and head up the trails.

Actually Will.................if you stay in Stateline, you need to be tagged also, NC rangers ticket people for coming from Stateline campground to the NC trailhead checkin without being tagged.  It is a state road right up to the trailhead.  Trust me, if you ride Tellico at all, you BETTER be tagged if you stay in either campground.

Thanks for correcting me.   :)  But I swore I've seen rigs without tags at the stateline campsites.

Looking forward to this one. I just hope the rangers leave us alone. I have been to some sites where ranger rick gets a bit nosey. I remember somebody saying no alchohol as well. Is this true >:(
I've grown tired of this.
