I'd be interested... Since sunday's are typically the only days I can get away from my son's baseball... I have not been up in that area either but would like to, at the least, do the harder part of the ride that the Trail Riders did in January... Let me know what you think...
-
There are a group of guys wanting to ride up to Bell Mtn. on Jeep Forum. They wanted to go on Sunday, there's one guy that has been and there are two that have never been. Just a heads up!
-
I wouldn't mind taking another run at bell. I rode in Jan. with the group,same route I've taken several times. What time and where do we meet?
-
You sound like the leader bear... Let me know what your thinking...

This sounds kinda fun. I have to be in Atlanta that morning but if you're going in the afternoon I might join up.
-
I can do either JK... Just want to take a break from the ball fields and Sunday is that day... Let's ride... The more the merrier....
-
Lol.... I don't have to be the leader...I'm no chief..just a Indian..but I do know the way. We met at the plea market in Helen and started about 9:00,did Trey Mtn first rode over to Rabun Co. did Talluha river road then over to Bell mtn. It doesn't matter to me which way we go whatever works for everybody I'm flexable
-
i was thinkin of doing 9-10ish... finding somewhere to do breakfast then go wheelin... i have no place to be and all day to get there soooo im down for any trails really.... kinda want some challenges
also... from what im seeing... its gonna be 38-45 degrees at the high for the day... was hoping was gonna be a lil warmer but oh well
-
Just mentioned the ride to my wife she says It's supposed to snow Sat. and Sunday. 9-10 works for me,breakfast at huddle house in Helen then we can wheel, but I'm open to any ideas

Got room for more? The Allen gang was planning on heading up sunday anyway because of the chance of snow. We'll see you guys there. If there is any snow in the area Tray mountain will be covered. I'm up for a ride to the top of bell and tray if you guys are. Either way we'll see you there.

Always room for a fee more rigs!!
Thanks for directions Doug!! And will do!

My Jeep currently needs some work before I can really take it anywhere, but I have a buddy who just got an FJ that he's been wanting to stretch its legs somewhere.
What kind of trails are these, FS roads? He's locked with mud tires.

Your buddy will be fine... My understanding is that there we some bone stock Jeeps that did this ride back in January... Join in....
-
Looks like we will have a decent amount of rigs out on sunday!!! Cant wait!!! Gonna slap the mud terrains on tomorrow, doing some final checks on my rig now so will be ready for some fun
-
So what's the plan? Are we going to do the same route as the Jan trip or a modified version? The Jan trip took all day to complete bu we had 30-something jeeps. Just trying to plan for food/provisions if needed. Also if were going to take that route I would recommend either everyone eat before we meet or meet earlier. If anyone has a CB we could use the standard channel 7 to stay together. I'm a planner. It's what I do. Sorry. LOL

Ok. So what time at which meeting place? LOL. 9 at huddle or flea market? I'm sure i'll find you guys but it would be nice to nail it down. I'll probably eat on my way. I'm coming from holly springs so it's gonna be an early morning for me.
As for the ride, my boys really want to see some snow. Looking at the weather reports and from personal experience Tray and Bell will both probably get some snow but at over 3000' and a lot more shade tray will hold the snow longer and probably still have snow sunday morning. The ride up tray takes about two to three hours depending on the group. When we get to the end of Tray we are on Hwy 17 and can turn north to hiawassie to hit bell. I see that you are co-ordinating with the jeep forum guys to so just let me know what you have in mind.
Either way I will be on CB channel 7 when I get close to town. See you there.

9am at huddle house

We can decide Sunday what route we want to take. The route Doug put together in Jan. for our ride was great in my opinion so I suggested we do the same. Just a suggestion. It did take all day but we had 30+ Jeeps. Marc is rite we should all run channel 7. I'll planning on being out all day so I'll pack accordinly
-
See you guys at 9 on Sunday... I don't have a cb but I keep up pretty well...

There is a dusting of snow on the hill tops. It's also trying to drizzle a bit of snow now at lower elevations.

Dang, Sorry you can't make it. My boys are looking forward to a snow ride. Word has it that both Tray and Bell Mtn are snow capped as we speak. We'll catch you next time.

so how was the ride??
-
I broke a power steering line and had to call it early. Fixed once I got home.
Otherwise I had fun.
-

Other than Bruce having to call it a day early it was good times. Bell was way tore up but the hike to the top was worth it. No snow on bell but Eagle and Brasstown were white capped and cool to see from the top of Bell. We'll have to do it again sometime when everyone can go.

-
Where did you guys wind up going? Fumbles did you make the ride? Hell all I could do was sit and watch trail ride vids all day.
-
I wasnt able to make the ride due to being called in to work :/

Glad you got it fixed Bruce... Was nice to meet you and hope to catch up agian soon...

Ride was fun... Great to get out and head up into the mountains... I wimped out at Bell because the first ditch looked like it would swallow a Hummer and was slick as ice... Great view at the top after we hiked up it (minus all the graffiti)... Tray Mtn. was a nice little mellow ride... Thanks for showing me the way Marc, hope to meet up again soon...
-
Following Marc up Bell... This was before I wimped out on the main trail... ;D
