Well, I hoped off the fence on this. I will be there either Fri night or early Sat with the dougster. Briggs will be co-piloting. He has been asking alot about when we are going again. Gotta love that!!

Steve,

the camping area is an open field surrounded by trees on a couple of sides. We try to keep around the trees and if you're getting there on Friday you shouldn't have a problem getting a good spot next to some. Plenty of trails to ride around on. They are mostly "access" trails with all of the harder obstacles off to the side so you shouldn't have to worry about running up on some stuff and turning around.

Well I'm looking forward to whatever excitement I can get into.  In recent years, I've learned to hold my horses till I actually leave my driveway.  But my wife said I could go, and my boss said have fun, and I'm avoiding anyone that sneezes....

I'm probably gonna leave sometime late thursday evening and drive I-75 north.  When I would go to Helen, Dahlonega, or Chatsworth, I could usually make it to Macon by-pass and crash for an hour or two at the rest area.  Then cruise through Atlanta before traffic gets bad.  I'll probably try that this time and hit I-20 west early friday morning.  If I get there ahead of the regulars, I'll go hunt some firewood and screw around till a crowd gathers.  I won't pick a campsite till I meet some of y'all. 

I changed the suspension and tires and stuff over a year ago and my jeep is in good shape and drives the highway pretty nice.  But I haven't loaded it up and driven it quite this far since then.  60 mph and I'm sure it won't be a problem.  For me, just the road trips themselves are a fun break from my middle aged life...

I asked about the soft trails because I haven't really tested my jeep on much...and it's not my nature to talk big.  The florida woods are pretty tame.  But if I learn I can follow some of you to the deep end of the pool, that's where I want to be.

camper: if you're gonna go thru macon you could meet up and caravan with us. I think there will be about 6 in the caravan from "middle georgia". We are gonna meet up early afternoon friday in macon and head out from there...

I think he is talking about when I got winched and pulled all over Tellico.

Sounds good. I just got back from a round trip between LaGrange, GA and Gainsville, Florida and the time that I spent on 75 (between Tifton and Gainsville) was pretty smooth sailing.

I'll be in the pool so you can follow me! We will have fun no matter what! Always do! {toast}
