Title: Chocco on July 7th
Post by: 94xjsport94 on June 27, 2013, 01:43:08 PM
Wondering if there is any interest to go out on Sunday and do some light wheeling. I get off at 3 on Saturday and could head over if anyone wants to camp but trying to make the most out of the Holiday/ Birthday weekend. Also need to email and see if they're even open. I would assume so but I will double check.

I only have Sunday to wheel. I'm the only one on the west side of Atl and Chocco is close for me but if Beasley works Beasley works. Will it be open?

It will all depend on the weather. If it rains more than an inch, they will close it. If not, it's open. I would go to Chocco but being in Tennessee for the weekend, it's a bit far to go down, then back up.

I truly wish that we're true. But alas, I have a wife. And no matter how rich I were, she is still the constraint with the Jeep.

We're looking to ride the weekend of the 6th/7th.  


Also, can anyone give me some insight as to the difficulty of the trails?  We've only been on 93G.

Steep climbs and descents with deep off camber ruts.  Dry is fun.  Wet is treacherous.

Are there any trails there that are more difficult than others?  I'm not stock but she's also my DD so not looking to break anything.

Cool beans, but I think I found what I was looking for under the maps section.  So if there is a ride next weekend, would you mind a tag-a-long?

Treacherous doesn't do it justice. I ride up there last weekend. It hadn't rained there in three days and it was way to wet. If you get started up a trail and can't make it there's not any bypasses or turn arounds.

If no rain for at least a week beforehand then I'd be down for Beasley.  Chocco or Adventure Offroad sounds good also as I believe they are about equal distances from me in Suwanee?

I can't go all the way adventure and Beasley is pushing it for me.

Post by: 2resa on July 01, 2013, 10:43:59 AM
I haven't been to Chocco or Adventure but Chocco looks to be a 2 hour drive vs. 3 for Adventure.  Looking at the rain forecast this week, looks like Beasley is out.  I'd like to tag a long to Chocco if something gets organized.
Title: Re: Chocco on July 7th
Post by: 94xjsport94 on July 01, 2013, 10:57:30 AM
Yeah rain off and on all week makes me think it's a no... I'd like to get out and do something light and fun though.

Chocco is fun but adventure is definitely worth the drive! I can't get off work or I would be at Adventure. They are building a world class facility. Brand new bathhouses and pavilion and the trails are awesome.

Post by: Oscar_Mike 2013 on July 01, 2013, 06:33:04 PM
I think Chocco will be just as bad.
I'm thinking Adventure might be worth the trip to see. I'll probably call beforehand though. Yeah, looks like Beasley is out. Effin rain. It's like we live in the rainforest. I'm now wanting the drought back.

I think Chocco would drain pretty well since it's almost all rock and loose dirt, no real mud or anything

Bathhouse is done, Pavillion in the works.  They are blazin trails every weekend.  depending on how the 4th goes I may find myself at Adventure with a ton of fireworks and crab legs lol.  Its definitely worth the drive.
