December 14th Forest Service Road Ride : Discussion

[Cannonballkev]

Flatlands is closed last I heard.

Take 163 ( popcorn) to 163 ( FS Sign is gone) 163 comes out on popcorn rd, go left to plum orchard, to persimmon , to Charlie’s creek , go right on ruby mine td to a culdesack and creek, loop back to Charlie’s creek to 76.

Popcorn and Charlie’s creek will take 2-3 hours.

I could do this trail in my sleep .

I'm most likely in for this one, going to try to recruit a couple of buddies that like a little easier wheeling.  I've done Tray and Dick's Creek before but would love an opportunity to learn more of the decent trails up there. 

This might be too far away, but is anyone familiar with Dodd Road/Bend n Hickory Road near Toccoa Falls?

  I've seen a couple of YouTube videos, it's not a FSR but does look to be some sort of unmaintained public road.  Not very long though.  It also shows up as Glore Road.  It's to the west of the marked spot on the map.

 Been closed ( blocked off) for 4 years or so, was illegal before that.

A ride I've led a few times starts at Nimblewill Church near Dahlonega.  Two options from there:  Nimblewill Gap and Frosty Mtn., or FS77 up to Winding Stair Gap/fish hatchery/Hawk Mtn.  Good routes for noobies.

I remember doing these routes with you in the past and they were enjoyable.

Hawk mountain has a small “rock garden”
At the top, and a big concrete pad that has a big number painted on it, not sure what that is

Well, my work Christmas party is that day, so I’m not sure yet.

I’d be interested. I have a stock JKU Rubicon so I don’t want to hold you guys back from doing anything more intense. Will I be good.

This ride is perfect for the stockers.
