Title: Heading to Prentice Cooper state park in Tenn.
Post by: Ckkphoto on September 01, 2017, 10:31:41 PM
I will be heading to progress cooper tomorrow morning at 7am   9/2/17.  .  Will try to post Trail pictures for any who have not been there.  I have to confess I have been a little frustrated trying to find good places to drive off-road in North Georgia.

This was a fun place to go.  Too easy for tricked out crawlers but I drove for  an  hour on the Ranger with my wife then took the F250 down the trails.  Trails were difficult enough to require 4wd and none that i driove needed much lift.   Lots of elevation changes but was never STEEP like beasely knob.  Best  part was you had to think and drive a lot of the time.  Lots of shift from 4 hi to lo and back.  Lots of puddles but never slipped a tire.   (I dont do spin outs bc i we need to be good stewards).   Best thing was that after 5 hrs of continuous driving I only covered a 3rd of it.

Happy times. //BEER//

I will definitely go again.  May give a shout out in advance in case any other member wanted to go as well.  I go somewhere as often as i can....about every other weekend.  Usually try to get somewhere near dawn then leave before all the yayhoos show up.  Not that i dont like people but my crewcab 250 fits a trail like a big chick fits a miniskirt  and it is easier if it isnt crowded.  That and I try to get home in time to spend some quality weekend time with the family

I am planning to go again in two weeks.  I have been going up early on sat then leaving and driving home without camping.  They have two designated campsites.  One is at the hunter check in and the other is at a shelter.  No other camping allowed.
