Post by: kvom on April 17, 2014, 09:41:43 AM: Is this a potluck, or just byo food?

I can also suggest that taking some time to visit the Anna Ruby falls at the park would be worthwhile, esp. if the weather is nice.

Dirt road up the mtn for you and your beast. Hardest obstacle for you might be going under a fallen tree unless it's bee cleared lol.

For stock or no flex, some ditches and ruts that might be fun. There are a few puddles as well.

A couple waterfalls to look at. Also one puddles in the road that you have to drive through. Its extremely bumpy on the back side. Definitely air down just to make it more enjoyable. Will take a few hours to get through with a big crowd.

Post by: Matt on April 22, 2014, 08:50:33 AM: There is a real cool spot if you come up the rough side, right when it gets creepy because all the foliage is dead and the trees are knocked down. Its surround by rock walls on 3 sides.

Where is Shelter 6 at Unicoi? And I guess we will also have to pay the $5 peaking fee eh?

Post by: FX4 Auddie on April 29, 2014, 09:44:18 PM: I have been reading and re-reading the gear thread to get an idea of what I do and don't have. The main things I need are:

Tow strap (4WheelParts?)
Jack/Hi-Lift (4WheelParts as well?)
Fire Extuingisher
E-Contact (will do shortly)
IFAK/SFAK (can get tomorrow or before sat anyways)

I also noticed it said required for CORE and preferred for open. If I don't get everything on the list by Saturday, would I still be able to participate under the assumption that this is an open ride? Is there a better thread/section that I should be unloading all these questions in?

Also, I saw that Tray Mtn is not too difficult, so I'm hoping that w/o getting all of the above items I can still be allowed to participate?

I wouldn't imagine there would be a problem. After all, it is an open ride and it's Trey mountain. You should be fine. I also have a spare handheld CB I can lend you for the ride if that's what you're missing.

Awesome! We'll def try and make it then!

I appreciate it! I actually work in the trucking business and keep a CB in my truck so I can communicate with my drivers. Just haven't figured out where I want to hard mount mine lol.

I can loan you a strap and first aid kit if needed, but I doubt we would need it on this ride. It'll be nice to have another truck //SLAMIN//

Post by: Steve_Pro4X on April 29, 2014, 11:47:06 PM: I hope the ride is still on. My wife and I both travel for work and have 2 toddlers. Getting out on a weekend day without the kids to have fun doesn't come often lol

Thank you much! I will probably be off tomorrow for the most part due to the rain so I may do some running around and get most of that stuff from 4WP and others. I appreciate it though!

If the ride isn't on any longer I may still run up there w/ a few friends and tackle it!

It is an open event for all forum members, not just CORE club members. You have just joined the forum so you are an open member and can come on out!

Post by: Lytles_fjc on April 30, 2014, 08:51:04 AM: I think the husband already said something about this, but I know that mountain and trail as well as I know my own home. I've drove every vehicle I've owned since I was 21 up there. I have extensively photographed the place. It is literally my favorite hide out in Georgia. I am more than happy to show y'all the layout of Tray Mountain. Morgan

Post by: gint2 on May 01, 2014, 08:32:37 AM: Is there anyone hanging back at the Park to get the grills going or will we need to fire them up when we get there? I know Scott said he may go there for us.

Also, is anyone else camping at the park? I'm heading up Friday with the pop up and staying until Sunday.

Also, here are the other links if you jumped into this late:

Luna Moths are so much better than Luna Ticks.

I hope y'all had fun today.
