Hey guys anyone want to go up to Mount Aetna around the first weekend of Nov?
I know I can get one other Jeep guy to go and several buddies on motorcycles. I want to try the easier trails since my XJ is a DD but Ive been there before when it was raining and it got slick as crap so I'm not sure which were the easy parts and what not.
Maybe meet at Cracker Barrel around 8AM and eat and wheel for most of the day after that?
Anyone interested? Let me know good dates for yall.
-
If you post the days you were thinking of I may be able to go. I have to ask work for days off.
-
Not sure for me. I mean after the whole gate closed then open thing I am bit weary of what is still "legal" and what is not but I think Chris and Larry can clear that up.
I will have to see after our October ride where funds sit and some people have expressed the want to get back up to Tellico in December before the park is closed for 3 months.

Basically the big-money developer thought he would just put up a gate and block off the road. There was already a previous court order stating that the county road could not be blocked off. So he was not allowed to put up his gate. Everyplace on in the mountain that was legal to run before still he is. You just have to be aware of the hunting leases,the wildlife management areas and the werock leases and not be on those unless you are a member.
I am going to be wheelin their labor day.
-
Several of us are coming up on Labor Day as well. I got my new KM2's on today so I am good.
-
I might be there on labor day, depending on whether my some of my buddies go hunting or not, keep an eye out though

Juan, you should have seen that place when we rode in the hurricane! Sloppy and crazy slippery! We went down that first hill and it was slick! Great picks! I am hoping to get back up there soon to wheel it in the dry! I bet you can walk everything!

Sorry Chris I guess this is why you called on Mon. I didn't get off work until 7am on Mon and when you called I in bed. Wish I could have made it. If it werent for the benefits of the job I'd find another.

Ah dude! I just remember that you wanted that driveshaft measurement! I completely forgot. Sorry man. Do you still need that?
-
Yeah it would be kinda helpful ;)

ha, my bad man. How is the build coming? Are you still riding the d35? I'll get the numbers to you tomorrow.
-
Unfortunately yes. I havent heard back from the guy who is suppose to be building the 8.8 for me so I'm not sure if he is or not. I have tried sending him e-mails but I havent heard anything so I guess it's not being built. So now I'm on the lookout. I have a guy I work with that has an 03 Sahara that's in need of new 35's but he don't want to buy new wheels, so I told him if he has the D44 in the rear I would trade him my basically new 35" Nitto's, wheels, and the D35 for his D44, wheels, and bald ass 35" X-Terrains.

Hey that sounds like a deal to me. I mean you work for a tire company. ::)
-
Now if he just has the D44 then I'm in the good. I figured for roughly $750 the D44 is worth that plus I'll get wheels and some worn out tires.
-
Is there any word on a November date yet?
-
IDK yet. We'll see how the turn out in Oct. is. Wouldnt mind going back.
-
Lets get past the Oct 11th ride and see what we are doing in Nov. I know I will be game for another Aetna ride in Nov if I am not going to Morris Mountain that month.
