The big one by the road and the parking lot with the 2 drive under spots.

Hey Mark. I'm not really sure how the meal thing is gonna work. I think everybody is just gonna bring their own grilling item (meat) and a side or two. I guess just bring what you want for breakfast and like last time, we will all pitch in and make one big breakfast. Doug's wife is gonna make a side and if your wife made potato salad, it should fair well. How was Sturgis?

Welcome back.

Hey again,
we rode. Total miles was a little over 4600. Left Atlanta and then Alabama to Miss. up to Menphis Tenn and took I40 to to Okl city and then back roads north west till N.M. then cut north into Colorado Rockies and followed them up above Denver then cut East across Plains into Arkansaw then north into Black Hill S.D. Stayed in DeadWood S.D.. Really cool small western town with alot of OLD Hotels etc. Rode in Custer Park (where Danceing with wolfs was flimed) Got stuck in the road when a herd of Bison were crossing. They got close enough to where we could just about touch them. Was stuck there about 15 minutes till a park ranger with a truck moved them out of the way. Man, the bulls were HUDGE. Some were 9' from shoulder to ground. I was a bit nervous but they just minded there on business and would look at us as they crossed. Alot of baby calfs were in ythe herd. We saw 3 or 4 differant herds high in numbers. Will get the wife to get pictures off camera and I will post some
-
That sounds awesome. Cant wait to see some pics ;)
-
Man, that is a long time on a bike. I can't imagine the saddle rash and aches!
-
It will make that Jeep seat feel like a lazy boy! :D

I'm headed that way about the same time. I'm not sure of your route from Winder, but we could meet in Gainesville or Helen.

Dude. You're locked on 32's. You're in a way better scenario than me. Come up.

Dude. You're locked on 32's. You're in a way better scenario than me. Come up.
And a 116 inchs of wheelbase vs the short 93inchs.
-
But his clearance is squat! He could do it all but would end up with some new marks. ;)

Wheelbase is good if your belly is up, but if it ain't, the long wheel base will hurt in most cases.

I agree. A stock JK Rubi unlimited is not as capable as a 2 door JK Rubi at Tellico in my opinion.
-
right on!
-
Logical assumption. The better driver could go further in either.

Agreed, but vs. an unlocked YJ?

I agree, but that's your buddy Pat talking. I was talking about the same driver in each different vehicle.

You guys failed. I was trying to get him in the woods to wheel.

Send Krawler00 a message about camping. THere's a good spot at the base of the trails called Crawford's. He's staying there and, if I'm not mistaken, a few other members.
-
There's primitive camping right across the street from our cabin at Tellico cabins.

Yes, either place has great camping. Most of us will be at Tellico Cabins, which as Chris said has tent camping. You would be more than welcome to use the bathrooms and showers at our cabin which is only a stone's throw across the street.
-

Doug and I will be there as well with Brian. As for camping either is a good choice the one across from the cabins are closer but next to the pavement and the loud guys across the street! ;D Welcome to tag along. I am staying at crawfords for a little more peace and quiet this time. I have my 2yr old son with me as well. How bout your rig, Lockers, winch? Have you looked at our required list for trail rides? Just check to make sure you have all the required parts and come on!

I will be there at 0930! Thanks for all the info, I too will probably camp at Crawfords. My son Jake is 3. I just purchased this Jeep last month and not sure about the lockers. It does have a Warn M8000 winch with alot of other add ons. I have read and possess the required list for trail riding with yall. Its been along time since I have done something like this, so I am really looking forward to it. Thanks to everyone for all the INFO!

Be forwarned that we like to hit the hard stuff up there. Not trying to scare you but be prepared for some action! ;D Tellico is not an easy place to wheel. If you have expierience wheelin you should be fine. We will help out if you need it. We will see you at the pay station at 9:30! ;)

Im from south TX so what I have done is alot of muddin and rocky hill climbing but nothing like some of the rock crawling I have seen pics of. I use to own an '81 Toyota 4x4 truck that was tricked out but got rid of it when i got married. We now have a pair of Honda machines that we ride and mud with, but I am now trying to get back into trail riding with my son. Tellico looks awesome, I know some of it will be out of my league for my first time out with this new rig, but I wont to go out and have a good time with my boy before I deploy again in a few weeks. I am really looking forward to this. I will try not to slow you guys down.
