What was your favorite trail? Mason Jar wins for me... reminds me of tellico.

Yep, Mason Jar was great.  Killin' Time and Grape Vine were also really fun.  Pin Ball and Rail bed were good too but short...did those twice.  Lower Rock Garden was a blast as well.  Here's a note for you, trail 26 shows as orange(moderately hard I think), it totally sucked, don't bother.

We found that out last year with some of the trails. Sometimes they were marked a 4 and I am pretty sure my wifes 2wd Liberty could have gone through them, other times a 4 should have been a 5...

The cabin is booked already. Subway being so close will be awesome!!  {letseat}

Forget the Subway! Drive your rig down to the Corner Cafe and eat Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. They open at 9 am every morning and close at 10 pm. They have kick ass food and it was cost about $12 for two people to eat breakfast and up to $19 for two for dinner. No cooking or dishes to worry about. I ate there 7 Times in 4 days and didn't get anything that was not awesome.

Crawfords Cry(I had to winch at one point), Middle Rock garden,Lower Rock garden, Pin ball, Rail bed, Killing time Mason jar and about a dozen other trails that I can't remember the name of because I need the map in front of me.

The Apple pie moonshine was the bomb! I wished I had bought a jar of the Blackberry.

I broke my rear upper shock mount bar off on the 1st day. Removed the shocks and rode around for the rest of the day and welded it back on that night.
That was all the breakage i had in 3 days of wheeling.
 
Very fun trip and got to push the rig and driver hard on a few trails.


I can not stress having your trailer tires and trailer in prefect shape before you make a long haul. We had 4 tow rigs and trailers and lost 4 trailer tires total on the trip up and back. That's not counting the 2 tires I replace before leaving dalton ga.

How much are the cabins? Also I know that the camping isnt really that good but is anyone planning on camping? Danny, If i bring the jeep to you in the next week or two can you have it done in time for this trip?
