I'm planning to take the red Jeep for a FS ride Sunday morning. I haven't had a street-legal rig for quite a while, and in the old days I liked riding up in the Chattahoochee Forest. I'm planning to offer to lead a FS ride for the club later on, so this is a chance to make sure the roads are all open. Plan is to enter at Nimblewell Church and go up past Winding Stair Gap, the fish hatchery, and visit the swinging bridge, plus drive up to Hawk Mountain. Might even take a hike up to Springer Mtn. if it's not too hot.
If anyone is interested in going along, post up or send me a PM. These roads don't require 4wd, so suitable for anyone. I'm tentatively planning to leave the house about 8am and be at Nimblewell Church by 9. Pack a lunch.
-
I might be up for this. Might even bring the wife and dogs along.
-
I would be up for that also
-
Sounds like fun, I'd be up for it.
-
Well, the wife is in. So we'll be there with our dogs too
-
I'm in +1. May bring the 3 cats.
-
Mark me down as highly probable. I'd like to go but I'm working on the jeep Friday and Saturday, if I finish ill be there
-
Is there a particular address i may punch into google and get directions to where we will meet? When I search for Nimbelwell Church I continue to get recommendations for Nimbelwill Church???
Thanks.
-
Spelled Nimblewell. Plug "Nimblewell Church" into google maps for the location. The church is very near to the entrance to FS-28. There may be services on Sunday morning. If not we can meet at the driveway; otherwise meet at the FS road entrance, which is marked on the map too.

Ok, I found it on Google:
https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Nimblewill+Church&aq=1&oq=nimble&sll=34.561142,-84.143429&sspn=0.018307,0.042272&vpsrc=6&ie=UTF8&hq=Nimblewill+Church&hnear=&ll=34.564219,-84.13921&spn=0.001144,0.002642&t=h&z=19&iwloc=A&cid=2121489122194472645
See ya Sunday.

I'm in with Cheryl. We will see you at the church. Are we going to stop at one of the recreation area's to cook lunch (hot dogs) or is it a bag lunch theme? //SLAMIN//
-
Bag lunch. Depending on how fast we go lunch will be either at the fish hatchery or the swinging bridge.
-
I'd be down for this as well. Count me in //SLAMIN//
-
I might go. I'm just worried because I can not find the key to my lug nuts. I think it got left at tires plus during the last rotation.
-
If weather cooperates I may be in +3 fam members. So far weatherchannel has thunderstorms every day through Sunday.
-
I will check weather for Dahlonega on Saturday night and post up whether it's on or off. Please check this thread before by 7:30am for a go/no-go decision.
-
Will do
-
i might have to back out depending on whether I can get my oil pressure situation under control.
-
If Sunday's weather is anything like today's it will be perfect. Hopefully it holds out //SLAMIN//
-
We still on?
-
I was wondering the same thing. Just finished getting jeep ready for in the morning
-
I still plan on going. It should be like today sunny in the Am and maybe some rain later in the day. The last time I went though Nimbelwill I had a mini van drive by me! //WTF// Not much need for 4wheel drive the road is graveled pretty good. There's not much chance of getting muddy from the road.
-
As of right now it's on. //;D//
-
I'll be coming also
-
Ok ,I'll see you at the church at 9:00
-
Dang'it I thought I had the day off from work! They told us thursday that we have a mandatory officer's meeting. See you guys next time!
-
Sounds like a plan. See you at 9am
-
I'll be there. 9 AM. Gonna be nice to finally get offroad again //SLAMIN//
-
Ok, oil pressure issue seems to be fixed (WIX oil filter, fresh oil), so i will be there...hopefully at 9am. I'm coming from Cobb...so it's a haul. What CB channel will you be on in case I can't get there in time?
Thanks,
Clark
-
I'll be on channel 7.

I'll be on channel 7.

I just seen you guys drive by on winding stair gap. I was sitting on my tailgate on the back of my silverado. Someone stole one of the Lumpkin county board of education cars and we were here with it waiting on the po po to get here after we found it.
Syped while swervin'

We had a nice quiet lunch down near the river. We had to cross this suspension bridge to get to the rive.

I remember seeing you there. It was a white Ford Taurus with the emblem on the door. I thought it was odd seeing a county vehicle out there.
-
Jealous. But then, I'm jealous of anyone with a jeep with 4 wheels in the ground.
Looks like it was a fun time. That bridge is awesome.
-
Great Ride!
Great Guide
Thank you Captain Kurt!
-
Great day for a great ride. Always a pleasure to spend time on the trail with some fellow GATRs //SLAMIN// I'll post up the few pics I took when I get a chance.

Heard that! Baseball starts this weekend... Both of my boys playing this season and head coaching both teams... Looks like you guys had a fun ride...

I'm just glad I can get out and drive Casper again! It has been so long I forgot what it was like. Now maybe I can make it to a couple more club rides. It's always fun to ride with Uall. I even got a little idea of how Casper will clime over the rocks. //SLAMIN//
