[Trail Whale]

That looks great!  Cant wait to get up there, only 3 more days and I am on the road.

Rabun-
If you want to go check it out on Saturday, I'm game.  I will be up there on Wednesday afternoon and any day is a good day for wheeling in my book.  The only day I have plans in Thursday, i need to do some work on a friends cabin.  But any other day I am open.
Is Beasley really that bad? Or are there trails I can fit into? Id like to go, but do not want to deal with any body work. And dont have the time to fab some sliders and body armour.

See you all soon!

Sorry, couldnt figure out how to edit a post.

Rabun- I am up for a Saturday preview run if you want company.

Rockin-
 I am available any day except Thursday.  I would like to go to Beasley, if there is a trail or two I can manage to fit into, Not into the body work. 

Thanks

TrailWhale, sounds good about sat.. Just call me anytime after lunch, but keep in mind I will have to take my kids trick or treatin around dark so I will need to be back by then.  706-982-1115 name is Andy. Here's some more pics of abe gap. I'm not driving in a creek, it's really a road that's flooded.

I will introduce them to you on the ride..  I boiled 20 pounds the other day...

I'll buy a lb or 2 off you  {letseat}

I haven't had those since I left the farm in Florida, we used to pull them out of our cousin's fields and boil them.

Those pictures look great--this should be a fun ride.

Well I'm exciteder than hell!  {toast}

i hope the "creek" road is still there when we get up there.

I rode to hightower today to make sure everything is o.k. there and snapped a few pics. There is a f/s road off of hightower we can go out that has a big turn around are at the end of it. It dead ends and we have to come back out and there is probably 40 small mudholes we have to go through. Nothing you will need 4wd for but it will get your rig dirty. You can see what they look like in the pics but yall decide if it's something you want to do.

im game for all of it!!  my only concern is for one of two of my club members that would be coming with BONE stock TJs with street tires.  hope they dont mind a tug. 

[rabunjeeper]

They won't need a tug. I did all of it in 2wd with the exception of the hillclimb on hightower and I had to hit in 4lo 2nd gear and it took me bout 5 tries to get all the way to the top. It was covered in wet leaves.

If I read my google maps it appears to be straight up 985 to 365.  Is that how you guys would come out of the Buford area?

if you would like to meet up with me and some of the guys from my club and caravan up, you can get off 365 in Clarkesville.  we would be going up highway 197.  its a more scenic ride and probably shorter than going all the way to clayton first.  

here is a link to a map for ya:

where in buford? im driving throught there on my way up, and would like to link up with the caravan.

[davethomas]

NorthGaX lives in buford so you will have to meet up with him first.  i live in clarkesville which is right off of 365.  i was suggesting that instead of going all the way up to clayton, yall could meet up with us in clarkesville and ride up hwy 197 to lake burton and the meeting spot.  probably shorter and faster than going up to clayton plus its a nice ride up into the mountains.  if yall want to meet up, send me a message and we can hammer out the details before sunday.

i sent out a batch of PMs.
