This will be a "Bring the Kids" run open to any class of vehicle. The run is a scenic ride in the mountains, probably similar to the Holiday Run. So pack some food and we'll have lunch on the trail. Andy (rabunjeeper) has graciously agreed to lead on this one too, so this should be a great event for families, bring your spouse as well.
Date: 6 March
Time: 10AM check-in, air down, pull out by 10:30
Location/Directions: The meeting place will be at the Lake Burton overlook/picnic area, on hwy 76 west of Clayton, east of Hiawassee. If you are looking it up on a map its at the intersection of hwy 76 and Vickers road. Also its at the end of a bridge that crosses Lake Burton and there is a sign there that says, Georgia Power Jones Bridge Overlook. It will be all the same trails as in the holiday ride and the nov ad hoc ride. Around a 3 - 4 hour ride

Equipment: This is not an "Official" GATR run, so no mandatory safety equipment, but it would be good to read the GATR safety equipment checklist anyway. At a minumim, I would higly reccomend having a CB radio as this is how we all communicate on the trail. We will be on
Channel 7. Here's the link to the full list, not mandatory for a non-exclusive run, but a good idea
