who is going to climb boat ramp?IDK...I'll have my spare tire on, that could upset the balance. You should have a great shot at it, with that automatic and those tires.

I can get both Marriotts 80/night right now. Check Marriott.com as I'm not sure if it's my status or that's just normal(hopefully).
I booked the Fairfield right off of I-20. I chose the $94 rate that can be cancelled up to 1 day in advance. I can change if there is consensus on another place everyone is staying and lobby party.Just stayed there for Morris. Good setup for a lobby party. Ask me how I know.

josh (JvC) and I are leaving Ohio on Thursday afternoon, 2/9. will spend the night somewhere in Tennessee, depending on how long we drive, probably just north of Chattanooga. Were both trailering our rigs. We will probably arrive in camping area around 10, CST, on Friday morning. we will probably just hang, unless someone gets there Friday afternoon and wants to go for a ride.

GATR NORTH Division coming downAt least they are committed...the WEST Division can't seem to get east of the Mississippi.
Yeah looking forward getting down to the sunny south. and 8 hours driving is nothing to me, I just retired from a sales job, where 8 hours driving was a normal day. and that included driving to DeathtroitThat's how it should b spelt.
Could someone that's going to choccolocco the 9th and 10th February, give me a list of possible trails we will be on. I would like to look them up on YouTube, I've never been there before. thanks in advance.Rubicon, Boatramp, TeePee

I'm thinking about making this ride also, only dilemma is that I'm still running a stock rig and not too sure of how many trails I'll be able to run.

Okay, doors off weather. Is that better? LolOr good weather for an open back half bus.
thanks for the info, the map is great. I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys and doing some wheeling with you. hope its warmer there than here.
I have avenza and haven't been able to find any maps for ORV parks. How do I find this one?thanks for the info, the map is great. I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys and doing some wheeling with you. hope its warmer there than here.
I grew up in Ohio. Anyway, some favorite trails - Cherry Bomb, Playground, Rubicon, Tee Pee, Tombstone (the short blue section). Also there is a downloadable Avenza pdf map as well for the gps mapping app if you have it. If you don't, get it.

I have a friend in that club so I joined their FB page. What a bunch of PC pansies. Someone posted a ghetto JK with 26" rims and if you even replied "ugly", the deleted your post. They ended up deleting the entire thread.
If we're talking about 'The' big GA Jeepers club on Facebook, f'ck those p'ssys. I normally try to refrain from using derogatory language but they pulled that PC crap on me when I called them out on a thread - horrible jeep builds, ghetto or shitty, can't say anything negative. I HATE they use Church and Jeeps together. If they want to be a Christian first club there is NO excuse for leaving it out of their name except they KNOW it will lower their membership and swag sales which is what it is all about, not the Church. I deleted that group from my facebook and a couple others and I have truly be blessed for it as I no longer have to see all the shitty builds and dumber than rocks questions that popped up every day. Sorry to go nuclear on this post but I am thankful there is a group like this one to ride and share fellowship with and I'm looking forward to this ride though I'm also really kicking myself I haven't fixed the bent control arm or front driver side issue (maybe UB bad don't know). Thinking I'll just trailer it to Chocco, hope for the best, and see if 4x4King wants to take my trailer back to the shop for a fee.

thanks, I looked at the web attachment you sent, the jeep, nice ride, BTW. hope it didn't get too scared up getting thru that. I assume that's part of Hells Revenge in the video.
And an alternate trail that bypasses that spot that is challenging, but less that the main section.thanks, I looked at the web attachment you sent, the jeep, nice ride, BTW. hope it didn't get too scared up getting thru that. I assume that's part of Hells Revenge in the video.
Yes, that is part of Hells Revenge. It is not a trail that anyone has to get on. There is a place to turn around and go another route just prior to the trail.

I'm debating on whether to take Friday off and get there early or leave at lunch.The problem with a lunch departure is you may very a couple of hours of riding in, but if you leave early in the morning you can get the entire day, since this crew will be there early this time. Usually being there in the morning means messing around until th late morning crew shows up.

What time do you guys plan to head out on the Trail Friday morning? If necessary we can leave a little earlier to ensure we get there on time.I would anticipate no earlier than 9am local time. When we roll out, we can ease into things and maybe make our way to Rubicon trail to start the day...

Friday crew. Here is a suggested trail plan (we used this route last April and we had fun). I'm open to any/all suggestions.Sounds like a plan. Other than Hells but what the "Hell". Have we ever done Chainsaw?
35 to 41 "Tombstone" to 34 "Rubicon". At the end of Rubicon come down 7 and we will be at the bottom of Tee Pee. We can go up Tee Pee (or 7 which is the bypass). At the top of tee pee, go left. Take 23 "M&M" down, right on 41, left on 4 (intersect with 5), stay on 4. Left up 32 "Redneck", go right on 29 Playground (it's the little blue loop) and then left at the top to back on your course at top go left on 5, left on 4, pass redneck to 61 "Hillbilly", at top go left on 5, left on 4 pass redneck and hillbilly, left on 28 "pick your poison". At top, left on 29, left on 5, left on 4. Go check out Boat ramp. Anyone game? Then we can go on 41 to the climb "Tombstone". At the top, left on 41 to 12, left on 51, down 7, take a right to 54 "Buzzards Loop". This will take us past 9 "Chainsaw" and then 40 "Terminator". Take rights at the top of either and take 51 to 7 and rinse and repeat. We continue on 54 and then check out Execute. Loop back on 51 to 7 and then follow 35 to a right on 14 then a right on 1 and we can then check out 19 "hells revenge" Between Hells and Cherry Bomb we could run up 15 and hit 8 Carnage Canyon real quick. It's a fun little creek bed
and then 10 "cherry bomb"
Friday crew. Here is a suggested trail plan (we used this route last April and we had fun). I'm open to any/all suggestions.Sounds like a plan. Other than Hells but what the "Hell". Have we ever done Chainsaw?
35 to 41 "Tombstone" to 34 "Rubicon". At the end of Rubicon come down 7 and we will be at the bottom of Tee Pee. We can go up Tee Pee (or 7 which is the bypass). At the top of tee pee, go left. Take 23 "M&M" down, right on 41, left on 4 (intersect with 5), stay on 4. Left up 32 "Redneck", go right on 29 Playground (it's the little blue loop) and then left at the top to back on your course at top go left on 5, left on 4, pass redneck to 61 "Hillbilly", at top go left on 5, left on 4 pass redneck and hillbilly, left on 28 "pick your poison". At top, left on 29, left on 5, left on 4. Go check out Boat ramp. Anyone game? Then we can go on 41 to the climb "Tombstone". At the top, left on 41 to 12, left on 51, down 7, take a right to 54 "Buzzards Loop". This will take us past 9 "Chainsaw" and then 40 "Terminator". Take rights at the top of either and take 51 to 7 and rinse and repeat. We continue on 54 and then check out Execute. Loop back on 51 to 7 and then follow 35 to a right on 14 then a right on 1 and we can then check out 19 "hells revenge" Between Hells and Cherry Bomb we could run up 15 and hit 8 Carnage Canyon real quick.

For those people camping Friday night. Do you typically set up in the wooded campground, scenic campground, lower campground, or overlook campground. And are there actual camp sites or just an open area and make your own spot kind of thing?I don't know the name of it, but they usually camp at the top of the hill, above the secondary parking lot, to the left when you come up the main drag (the outhouse / main parking lot will be on the either).

It's first come, first served..just mark your spot and setup camp.
@clark123456 Dont forget your tires work great on dry steel stuff like this. Ground clearance or not.I don't think I've seen that before.. Definitely something to seek out. Thx
Here is a video of Rob from awhile back,it's like boat ramp but dry. Well a lot tougher to get to the slab than boat ramp. It's either backside 1 or 2.
I will be there Saturday morning. Please keep me off hells revenge. I said I would never do it again. That trail owns me. //LMAO//

Yep, we will rename it to Biscuit's Revenge.I will be there Saturday morning. Please keep me off hells revenge. I said I would never do it again. That trail owns me. //LMAO//
I can't wait to wheel Hell's Revenge with you!
Does anybody have an accurate map of the place? It seems like the last time that I was there which was year before last, there was trails that were not even found on the map. Not to mention we had to navigate down a very very steep hill that was a great test of how good my brakes not to mention nerves were.

It looks like you need the Avenza stuff, but remember there is a problem with the Avenza relationship with the vendor of the maps, so spend wisely.

What does the Friday group look like?
Who and what time?
John 8:30 (9:30 EST GA TIME)
Clark 8:30
Doug 8:30
JvC and I, 8:30a CST, at campsite Friday. He has blue 350 I have a red 250, so if someone in the group sees us meandering around looking lost, flag us down please. LOL.If it hasn't been mentioned...GoogleMaps is accurate, as is my Garmin. You will think you're in the wrong area since you have to drive through a residential neighborhood (old school neighborhood) before you encounter the path to the mountain. Slow driving from the time you enter town, since it is a college town and mainly residential area.

No pride of ownership on this. Just a suggested route so feel free to edit/change as needed.
For those arriving after 8:30 be sure to grab cell phone numbers from the phone list for those of us in the early group and you can text us so we can coordinate. Also, we usually run cb channel 7.
Anyone know how the weather has been at Jacksonville?

Does this mean I need to be there by 8AM instead of the usual 9AM driver's meeting? It takes me 3.5 hours to get there from south georgia.
Ok I was just concerned that I might need to leave earlier than the 5:30AM time that I had planned to leave. Since my schedule only permits me to ride only a couple times a year I am really looking forward to being able to do this.
Moved to discussion.Ok I was just concerned that I might need to leave earlier than the 5:30AM time that I had planned to leave.

Are fires allowed? There hasn't been the typical "firewood" discussion.
Who is camping?
Who is at a hotel? Which one?
I'm at a hotel on Friday night only.
Are fires allowed? There hasn't been the typical "firewood" discussion.I'm camping definitely Friday night and possibly saturday(depends on the wife. Don't want to push it too much since she lets me ride once a month) I'll be bringing firewood with me.

Chris there will be some mud at the level spots but nothing near what we saw at Morris. This should dry out enough to keep the dust down.Sounds good to me, that was a bitch cleaning all that shit out last time.
Damn, is it Friday! The days leading up to a ride are tough.

I'll be PM'ing my Jeep tonight and tomorrow night. I had a rattle at low speed that was driving me crazy. It took a while to find, but it was a loose bolt on the RROR transfer case skid. I went through and retorqued all of them. Need to give the whole rig a once over.
Got a new brake installed on the mini bike last night. The one that came with the kit sucked and wouldn't stop the damn thing. This is a band brake that goes around the clutch and will lock up the rear wheel. I'll be brining it with me.
Ok, I'm committed to staying over Saturday night. I loaded some fire wood, but I know it won't be enough.
Now I'm camping Friday night, too. No hotel, if they allow me to cancel the reservation today.
The hotel is only 4 miles away...they may still get complaints!Ok, I'm committed to staying over Saturday night. I loaded some fire wood, but I know it won't be enough.

The hotel will appreciate the lack of noise complaints
How many are staying to camp Saturday night?I think it's me, Justin & Beth, and Patrick for sure.

Guys I am going to have to Bail unfortunately. I have been chasing a leaking tire that I think I have isolated to a bad stem, although the bead leaks a little too. Its the tire that I popped the bead on last month at Morris. I just haven't had time or energy to deal with it.
If it were a dedicated trail rig I wouldn't be as concerned. But its also supposed to be a daily driver...@Raisinhead warned me about getting used to the beater for commuting purposes.
Also, I think I could use another weekend after my surgery. That said I have been feeling better than I have in a long time.
For those that are camping, they are calling for rain on Sunday. I hope it holds off until you get packed up!
I may be changing my trip to come Friday night. If so, I'll be camping

Just decided to camp instead of doing the Hampton. Even though they had a 48 hour cancellation, they allow me to cancel since I'm an Honors Member.
Feel better Jimbo @Blue J , probably a smart move!

what the latest?? still bringing kiddos?
Ok. So Mark and I arrived at the Hampton Inn about 20 min ago. This place is nice and pretty new.
Lobby beverages...
