Thanks @classified for the route and leading. Good job at the drivers meeting also. As mentioned before we need to incorporate more of these and possibly make it an overland weekend trip......
Start thinking of some ideas

Thank you and Tony for helping keep up with the group, made my job so much easier.
Id like to do an overlanding trip that still has some wheeling involved. Not necessarily hell's revenge everyday, but at least a reason to use 4wd. Maybe like an ultimate adventure where only a couple people know the route and everyone else is along for the ride. Probably with a little easier wheeling.

First we need to do a daytrip or 2 with a river crossing and a spot where you
have to use 4 wheel drive....maybe Beasley Knob. Then plan an overnight
overland trip. We need to find the fine line between forest road and the off
road parks. Once we achieve this > then the newer crowd will want more
and then maybe they will try an off road park.

Coppinger cove!

First off, its 3 hrs away. 2nd, I maybe wrong, but Im pretty sure they have started ticketing people in there for riding in the creeks, drinking, and trashing the place up. Sounds to me like they are starting to move towards closures. Its also a stretch to call the Cove "overlanding" , its more like beat your brains out on a shitty dirt road and call it wheeling haha.
I suggested the overnight thing before the FS ride and noone really responded. I think we can manage a few roads close to Beasly and then cut up and across the mountain on the main trails with little effort as long as they have good tires and 4wd. There is camping and water crossings close by (as well as inside Beasly) just depends on how far the group wants to go and how long they wanna spend riding/camping/wheeling. If this is a real thing people want to do then all we need is good weather and someone say plan it and it could happen.

I've never been to the cove, but from what I've seen , it looks like a cool place to ride and camp out at. I could be wrong. I don't know about ticketing people. If they are trashing it, then they should be ticketed .
I'm up for wherever

The new park Coalmont is part of coppinger cove. I with Justin, coppinger cove where I went was a far cry from the forestry rode trip.

All I really recall at the cove that was cool was wheeling in a cave, otherwise it was a bunch of water crossings with some being pretty extreme. It wasn't my favorite.
If my TJ wasn't under the knife I would have been at the recent forest service ride. I really enjoy those rides and it looks like this one kept up that tradition.

We went to Beasley back when the leaves were changing and they've done a good bit of grading as well as brought in some rock on 93B. We also checked out the camping area and it's pretty big. I'd say enough for 8-10 spots. I'd be down for an overnight camping trip but I would t want to camp with a bunch from Facebookers. I'd leave it for forum members. Not necessarily CORE though.

Ok let be clear an overnight would only be for forum members. We will leave the day trip forest roads rides to the facebookers. That was fun for what it was.
Forum members are my main concern and target for rejuvenation.
