Jan 15 Forest Service Road Ride
patman:
The one time I went to coppinger (JKU, 35s, open/open) I thought it was a lot of fun. Not difficult, but scenic and a good day trip with lots of rocks.
@Rocksolidfab goes a good bit, I would like to hear his opinion

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.

I agree. Something like an ultimate adventure would need to be planned way in advance. Maybe something in the fall or spring next year.
The problem with the south east is that most "cool" places to wheel are closed or in a park. Gravel roads get old, because the scenery really never changes. NGa forest service road looks like a NGa forest service road. Most FS roads that do have any decent wheeling are "out and back" and make large groups hard to move around.
Beasley is a great place to get someone's feet wet. As long as it is dry

Definitely down for a little warmer weather. There are 2 sides of Beasly with parking still, it would be meet and ride that direction on some dirt, wheel across the gap, camp on the other side, then some could wheel the next day and hit harder stuff if they wanted. Several places to go eat on a Sunday morning that are real close too if anyone needed to bail. All we really need to know is which direction the majority of the group would be coming from to plan a route - Helen-ish, Dawsonville, Buford, or 575/515. Then we would know which roads to hit, maybe even a brewery on our way or at least a good lunch somewhere. The only real issue is weather, they close Beasly if it rains much at all.
