Will there be a place for some of us to take our top & doors off & store them till we get done? Dont wanna take mine off till I get here. Night air is chilly at 6 in the morning!

I dont know of a safe place. We have the pavilion #3 rented, but whose to stop some one from stealing them.

Also, I am not sure if Unicoi charges to get in to the park, probably safe to keep $5 on you just in case.

I am thinking of Chatahoochee River Rd as an alternative to tray mountain, anyone know its condition?

I mite be able to get loose for a few hrs. I will prolly just do the hightower portion and then cut the scene. Busy day.

Had a great day. Thank you to everyone that showed up. Weather was perfect, I hate it if you missed the opportunity to drop the top, remove the doors, and attend this ride.

Had a great time. It has been too long since I have made a ride.  {toast}


After everyone left Meg and I wanted more so we went back up 17 a short way and turned right onto what I believe was Tray Mountain (well turned into tray). We went all the way up it, stayed right at a split, ended at a big intersection, took a left, came back out on 17 later on higher up and then went south back into Helen. There were tons of trees down, but cleared. I don't think we missed much, didnt even see a need for 4x4 the whole time. I liked that whoever did the tree clearing dragged some of the big trees over the entrance to user created trails.

looks like a good trip. I was putting together a playset (big wooden beast) all day :P
I've grown tired of this.

Here are the pics I took...unfortunately I did not get a picture of the faces of the fishermen as we crossed the river upstream from them.  Priceless!

Had a fun time...awesome weather and good people!
