December 14th Forest Service Road Ride : Discussion

[moos]

I live in Milton and the wife and I are staying in Ellijay Saturday night, so I'm in unless the whole thing is called off.

Waiting to see what pans out with the weather. If we are a go, I have a friend that would like to come along with a stock JL.

Looking like an inch Thursday/Friday. I’m probably bowing out if that’s the case.

Rain will at least make it an interesting ride. And Saturday is clear. Sounds fun to me

Another newbie question:

Any realistic chance that the water levels will be high enough to enter the cab on a stock JLU Rubicon?

If you’re referring strictly to Charlie’s Creek. The amount of rainfall could increase the water flow but it’s doubtful that it will be high enough to enter the cab. As long as the doors are shut and the air-conditioning is on to pressurize the interior it should keep out any water that may come up to the door. But it’s very rare if you’re moving forward for the water to come inside the vehicle create a bit of a week in front of it. Unless it really really deep.   

So I’ve been told.

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?

Give me a few to get back to the house. I’ll take a look at the forestry service map.

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.

Weather station in the area.  I've checked a few, all over an inch of rain for the week so far.  I guess like DK said it'll make it interesting.
