Title: Thanksgiving trip
Post by: Vince9700 on November 13, 2019, 12:39:06 PM
Not to be the new guy that invites himself but,  does anybody have plans for Thanksgiving wheeling trips.  I'm really looking to get out again before the weather here in Illinois gets any worse.  I'd love to hit up AOP with you guys next weekend but we are doing an obstacle course race at Wrigley Field that weekend.  I'm running a 1 ton TJ on some reds.  I enjoy playing in the rocks or just driving in circles in the woods.

Next weekend at AOP is our last major trip for the year. December we have a little club get together. However, we start right back up in January. Unfortunately, you will be starting the fun winter program there in ILL. lol.

That's true! I was just thinking about GATR rides lol. Although, coming from IL you have SMORR's and Flat Nasty that are closer.

I'm trying to make AOP, but it's slim. If I don't, I may be in for a ride this weekend. Preferably somewhere between ATL and Nashville.

I've never been there.  I'll check it out and see if it will work.

I did hit Flat Nasty a weekend last month and SMORR for a few hours it was a good time.  Some buddies are doing SMORR this weekend but I obviously can't make that one either.

You also have the badlands over in Indiana.

So I'm planning on making the trip down to Morris Mountain, weather permitting a couple of decent days to wheel.  The Badlands in Indiana is not too far from me and a nice park with a wide range of terrain.  Truly has something for everybody.

Morris is small, and if it dry and you're built well it's easily a one day park. The good news is that there is another park 40 minutes away from Morris named Choccolocco Mountain ORV. If you have 2 days to wheel, you can hit both parks.

Chocco is better this time around since it is going to rain this week...and morris will not dry out in time.  Chocco has a better chance of drying out.

There will be folks at both parks.

Thanks for the heads up on Choccolocco.  Good to know xjcrawler.  I'm just going to show up and see if I can find a group to jump in with.  I'll probably be the only blue TJ with Illinois plates down there.

I'm planning for tomorrow riding at 5313 Offroad Park in Calhoun GA, which seems like only 58 miles from my home in Smyrna.

Do you know this park? any comments?

Cheers.
