RIDE PLANS :

FRIDAY:  park opens at 8am...members will arrive throughout the day to set up camp and wheel.  There will be no structured Friday rides.  Get together with those that are there and work out wheeling plans.  Camp fires and what not Friday night at sundown.  GaTR ride rules apply to all that come Friday and wheel as a GaTR club member. 

SATURDAY: 
9:30am(Alabama time) riders meeting.  We will break into groups of like wheeling capabilities and head out to hit the rocks.  The park is not too big so lunch can be back at the camp sites at 1pm. 

After lunch we can re-group, stay in the same groups, make bigger groups, smaller groups, whatever may seem to make the wheeling better.  Wheel for the rest of the day. 

Camp fires and more what not at sun down.  Maybe a little night wheeling if a group feels up to it.

To all of our non core members and those of you that are lurking in the background following our forum, this is an open ride, meaning this outing is for you. This is how we all get to meet each other and make those new friends that will help you spend your money on those upgrades you've been thinking about.

So, come and join us!

I went to Choccolocco today with a friend on his 1st trail on a almost stock JK 2015, only winch and 33's no lift, so to avoid scaring him I tried to gradually show how things work.

We had a lot of fun, the weather was fantastic, the map is not really precise, some Easy (Blue) were Moderate (Black), some Black (Moderate) were totally Dirt Roads (Green), but some Black were sometimes Hard (even to my Rubicon).

Again I had no spotter with me to take pictures, his passenger will send his pics and videos when he gets WiFi, I only took these 2 below...

Cheers!

I was expecting more moisture as it rained a lot last night there, but it was fair, the sky was nice and clear so the sun helped.

I was really concerned about the amount of leaves on some obstacles, I did one high  descending that I almost lost control as the leaves made the jeep slide down out of any traction for some good 3 meters...

I liked the place, but definitely I need a Spotter to try other obstacles. :-)

Talk about getting off topic. But this is worth noting as being one of the dumbest 12th century rules that are STILL in place...

Today it is 12 inches, the length of the average man's foot. Yard: A yard was originally the length of a man's belt or girdle, as it was called. In the 12th century, King Henry I of England fixed the yard as the distance from his nose to the thumb of his out-stretched arm. Today it is 36 inches.

Okay back to topic at hand WHEELING

I’m gonna be that guy that brings up the weather. Looking terrible especially for Saturday.

I was planning to head there early Friday to beat traffic in ATL. If the hourly forecast looks like we can get a semi-full day in on Friday I’d be up for hitting it early and hauling ass when it starts raining if anyone else has all day Friday as well.

Had an awesome day trip to Choccoloco. Weather was great and even sun came out.  Got there early and drove the park to see the condition of the trails.  Meet up with Christoff and his son.  We took the green trail to check out Boat ramp and get his feet wet with it being his second time off road.  We left before the weather deteriorated. I didn't trailer out there and was kinda nice just hopping in the truck and taking off.  Locked on hub when I got to the park and ready to go.  I was impressed with the new radial tires on and off road.  Those that did not come missed out.

I'll bet those were like night& day difference-wise , Drew.
Very nice set of tires!
It looks like they're also on some wheels other than those ba Hutchinson BLs ?
I'll bet the weight difference changed the rig's characteristics off-road, too?

glad you guys got some trailtime in.

Yep I got a whole new set of wheels and tires for street use. 40lbs weight sayings per wheel and tires makes a huge difference.  Still have the double beadlocks and tsl sx2 for off road duty.

I have a suspicion that , on down the road a bit , those procomp MTs  might find their way onto the beadlocks ,  but maybe I'm just projecting, heh.
