Man I really thought this place was going to be more... Guess I am glad I didn't make the trip out there today.

Pictures? I am surprised to hear this, I thought that place was supposed to be pretty good.

Sory I didn't make just cause I enjoy you guys.  Sorry to hear about the carnage mark, but sounds like fun!.

I have only heard it's a cool place for wheeling from stockers that have been, and have never seen the likes of River Rock, Morris Mountain, or Tellico.  I didn't want to miss a GATR ride this year.  Oh well.  I do think it's a worthy 2nd ride some month for our more stock members that love to camp, and might even tow the 4-wheeler behind the 4x4. 

Had the 44 finished last night and went to install the drive shaft and found a broken yoke ear.  WTF?

Indeed pretty fun for the stockers.  A little too much mud for my liking tough (There goes another $15 at the car wash), and part of the fun for me is watching the big guys go over the stuff I can't (which doesn't exist that much there). And to give a rough estimate of the difficulty, I was in second gear without pressing the gas over most of the obstacles.  Just a few mud holes that took a little extra go.

Scratched my door right after I put it on towards the end of the day  >

forgot: there were some hill climbs that would test any vehicle out there.

The fellowship was great. Carnage not to bad, it can be summed up as a "Nut Loose between steering wheel and seat" but I did make a mental note that rotten stumps aren't always as they appear. I must give thanks Alex and his Dad for jumping in and getting a trail fix that got me back to the trailer. I think the only other carnage that wasn't listed was the K5 blew a locking hup on his axle also. Will would have rode all day with a stiffy because of the mud (LOL). I think I took like 3 pictures, there just wasn't anything worth shooting. I did enjoy playing in the rock garden at the spot I parked my truck. I should have let you out Jimmy to shoot some pictures there.

I still want to make a trip there to check it out so let me know if anyone goes up there again.

You will want to make the River Rock ride.  It's a little closer to you too @ Milledgeville.  I'd be happy to draw ya a Google map.

It was good meeting everyone.  It was a little cold camping out Friday night especially in a hammock.  Can't wait for the next ride.

Awesome.  Hope to see you there in March.  Sounds like everything I'd heard ws true about Durhamtown, and it's sorta like the dirt road entrance at River Rock.

I am with everyone else, will not be going back.   After most people left we ran out 5 (i think) and it was a little more fun.   nice to meet everyone
