Good sized park.
Park is split in to two halves. Right side has most of the hard stuff on it. Left side has most of the easy stuff on it. But there are a few hard trails on the easy side and a few easy trails on the hard side.

I spent about 8 hours there one day last year and had fun all day long. I have only been there when it was dry.

This is my favorite place to go pay to play.

Thanks Larry-
  It seems the the word "DRY" is key! Tellico was not really dry this past ride and not all that fun with those conditions. I am wondering if this will be a reason to go or not?

I may be in I dont know yet my wifes b-day is on the 19th so I have to do a lot of buttering up between now and then.

great ride. Has more than you can handle. I have only been there wet. No big deal. Lots to do still, no big hills to worry about if its wet. This ride will be a go either way.

The big climb up the mountain past the mud fields is a fun one when wet, just because it's so long. I went out with just my Jeep and my co-pilot one  night and we were just gonna cruise and hit a little mud. We started up that climb, started spinning and realized we were already in it    We couldn't stop. There was no where to turn around and if i wasn't on the gas, I was sliding backwards. It was probably 2 whole minutes of spinning up that climb cause it's like 200 yards or so to the top if I'm not mistaken. Very fun, and VERY scary    Won't do that wet again, but it was still a very fun trip.

The climb you are talking about Will is Hammerdown. I agree with not doing it wet, there is a rock garden near the top on the right side going up. Here are a couple of links with pictures, they were both Shamrock Runs one in '07 and one in '08. The flop in '07 was a guy riding with us and it happened about 3/4 up hammer down. He was showing off the power of a 5.0 YJ and took a bad bounce. http://s428.photobucket.com/albums/qq9/mdo817gatrailrider/MM%20Shamrock%2007/

 I really want to get the XJ over there but not in the mud.

Here are some pics when a few of us went early 08.

I'm probably in if there's at least a few stockers going.

Oh, and Germ, when you getting new tires?  I'm obviously in the neighborhood for at least one new tire and wouldn't mind bumping them up to something a little more aggressive ;D

[Matt]

There is a couple stockers going. Mines not that big, plus we will split into groups if need be. So dont worry if your stock or small tired. Plenty to do for everyone and bypasses for all obstacles.
