Post by: jkDave on June 07, 2013, 02:18:09 PM: Huh, I might ride up there and meet you. I've been to Bell, where is Charles Creek? Where are you going first, I would meet you there if I can make it?

Post by: pedal93 on June 07, 2013, 03:07:46 PM: Dave we are going to do Charles Creek first, I want to show these guys a few things before taking them up bell.

From Helen make a RIGHT instead of a left to go to Bell on 76.
Then make a left on Upper Hightower Road (sign) just past Upper Hightower Church. little over 4 miles I think
Follow that back 3 miles to where it turn to dirt and that is Charles Creek. I will turn my CB on channel 7 and I will have my phone on all morning (just got new service so not sure how well it will work up there). 770-313-8558

I think we will stop and get gas and food and stuff at the Ingles in Hawassee around 9 ish. Give me a call early and I will let you know where we are.

Post by: ranier1315 on June 07, 2013, 08:38:09 PM: Yeah, If bell got anywhere near the rain we got today it's going to be real fun. {letseat} Have fun with that. LOL

My boys and I are heading to shoot the hooch. It's running at 1.35' in Cleveland. That means the rapids that are normally class I/II are not II and III with a IV thrown in for good measure. I can't wait.

Post by: jkDave on June 08, 2013, 01:03:02 AM: Ryan, looks like I won't make it. It is 1:00am and insomnia seems to have taken over. Once I finally drift off, 6:00am alarm would come way too soon. Y'all have fun and take pictures. If by some chance I'm awake I'll drive up but don't wait for me. I'll hit you on your cell.

You beat us by a few hours. We stayed and messed around on Charles Creek for a few hours.

We passed one dark blue Golden Eagle with a JK and another CJ. Talked to him for a sec but only thing he mentioned was the Stocks to Lockers meet in Jefferson
