December 14th Forest Service Road Ride : Discussion

[tjsahara00]

Ok so it's been probably 5 or 6 years since I've been through that trail. I know how to get there off Persimmon Rd. I don't remember where it comes out or how to go in from the other end.

Who has been numerous times or knows it better and may want to lead?

From Persimmon Rd the crossing at Talullah River is a diagonal up river to the right. Go Slow and don't stop in the middle, make sure your in 4WD before your in the river. I'd lead but I will be installing  a Thermostat in the Jeep tomorrow. It's an easy drive.

Yes I know exactly where the river crossing is. I used to trout fish that whole section up there. I just haven't went thru that trail in at least 6 years. You know back when you could go down that section on the left that had the hill climb everyone used to do. That lead to a lot of the signage about stay on the main trail.

I’m still in for this ride and hope we get an awesome turnout!

Not sure which way y’all are coming up from Helen , if you are coming up 197, turn left, go 2.5 miles to FS RD 163 ( popcorn trail) ) on left ( there is no sign)  this will take you popcorn rd , turn left , this will take you to plum orchard , then to persimion ( turn left)  then to Charlie’s creek.
  If you are just doing Charlie’s, 163 is a nice add on.
There is on rutted our spot going downhill, just tell the newbies to straddle the ruts.

The wife, pup and I are in for sure. She’s coming off a late shift. So, I’ll have my jet boil on hand to boil water for instant coffee.
Should anyone want some, bring your favorite instant flavor and a little water.

Running a little late. Be there just after 9 or so.
