I am going try to make this ride also.  Hoping to have new tires by then, but if not I will check out the park and do what the 'street tires' allow.

Wow!

Anybody know if there are any good hotels nearby? I plan to bring the little one, so no tent for me.

Greenwood or Laurens.  10+ miles.

Anderson is the best bet that is on the way, sorta.  This place is geographically challenged.   

Maybe it was the part of Laurens my Jeep broke down in, but I wouldn't recommend staying there. There are in fact hotels in the area though.

I have been reading hotel reviews and hear the same thing. I might just drive up early saturday instead of staying in one.

Question for the ride organizers.  My son hopes to join up soon.  He would like to take his truck to the Gulches.  However, he does not have a high lift jack yet.  If we stay grouped together, is it permissable to share my jack if needed?  He has all other required equipment.   :hlp

Yeah that would be fine. I leave mine on the trailer most of the time anyways most of the parks we go to are small enough for someone to make a quick trip back to camp for parts or tools. {toast}

When is everyone planning on heading out/ arriving for gulches? We're leaving Friday morning, hope to pull in around lunch.

Calvin, I'll let you know, I still have to work out some details and see if the old pig is up for a tow, if not I may have to borrow a tow pig or just drive up in the YJ and ride shotgun with someone. Not sure on Friday or Saturday AM.

I am new to the site, but I am thinking of coming up. If anyone wants to leave with me Saturday morning early that might be the best bet from my end. I have work Friday night and if I can't get it changed then I will have to come up early. I was also thinking about leaving late Friday and staying in a hotel, but that doesn't seem to be the best idea from what I have read.

Its just a sketchy area. If my wife and daughter do not come, I dont mind staying in a bad area. Come on out and meet the guys. I will probably be there early saturday morning.
