I'm back from the tellico. Trail conditions were freakin awesome! It had rained 2 nights before so NO DUST!!!!! It was just right, not wet and not dry on the trails. I took the boys up guardrail to helicopter then we turned around and came back down to fains ford then figured I would hit schoolbus. There is a newly fallen tree at the top of schoolbus which gave me a nice little scratch. No big deal though. I had 3 people in the Jeep, one 6 yr old, and 2 grown men. Man, the extra weight really throws off the logistics of the Jeep. An extra 350lbs on the right side can throw you way off! I took them up guardrail no problem but when you come to that section between guard and heli with the 2 horizontal rocks that are parallel to each other the Jeep was way off camber and felt like it was going to go over, so I told them to hop out. Did not want to risk it! They loved it and were in awe of the place and could not believe the rocks and that the Jeep could go up the trails.
I headed up schoolbus to the big ledges then came back down since I knew I would have to have them get out a few more times heading up. I did not want to chance flippin on a ledge. It was a great day of riding and wish I could have stayed up there. It rained on us hard about 5 miles from camp. No top or anything. First time that has ever happened to me. It was fun though. I have a few pics and my buddy shot a quick video of me heading up the bus. I will try to get them up tommorrow.
