Anybody even planning on going ???
-
I know there are a few of us who have already paid up and are planning on going. Haven't heard anything about it in a while though.
-
It's my backup plan if I get desperate to wheel and I can't get a ride together for Windrock or Golden Mountain.
-
hhhmmmm, I may be able to work something out. My wife owes me. Where is it again and what is the cost to ride?

Forgot about this one. When my wife comes back from Dallas I will ask. Maybe stay with Chris for $10.

Chris isn't going anymore.
-
So what are the dues to get in now?
-
Still $25. I plan on camping, but I might be in for a hotel room for just one night.

It took me 3 hours, maybe a little more, to get there. Up I-75 to Cartersville,and then to Rome, and West into God's country. Then you have to go around the mountain ridge to get to it. There are a lot of "amusement rides" in close proximity to each other, and you will get to test your Jeep and your pucker. Definitly have to go sometime. They are cutting new trails all the time. Very undeveloped still. I don't want to go back thee until it cools off some. It was really wicked hot when I was there.

Really. >:( So is there a list to meet the minimum fee? Who IS going?
-
The cost is $25 per rig. If you want in, please let me know as you will need to pay me in advance. There will be no one taking payments at the gate and we have already met the minimum. I have paid Bob for all who have already paid me.
-
Will do. I will know something next week.
-
I have already paid for two rigs. I am not sure who is going with me though. Jack from Mild 2 Wild may go and can help kinda guide us through the trails. He has been a bunch and even helped with the trails before it opened.
When is everyone planning on getting there?
-
I know it was a weekend trip but I'm only gonna be able to make it on Sat. and I'll prob. get there around 7:00am.
-
If I go it will be a staurday ride for me as well.
-
I'm planning on arriving Friday evening and camping. Is anybody else going friday?
-
So what are the plans for trails on Sat?
-
It's only gonna take me around an hour or so to get there. I may come on in Fri. and camp for the night and head back home Sat evening. I'm off work on Fri. so I may go and play around a little while then and wait on folks to get there.
-
I'm planning on going Friday evening and camping, ride Sat and head back home that night.

I haven't decided if I am going to do that or just have a long day on Saturday.

Let me know if you are coming on Friday. Maybe we can meet up and ride together.
-
I'm heading up Friday after work. Does the park close, or will I be able to get in and set up camp in the evening?
-
I am still on the fence. Once saturday gets closer I will know more if I am going or not.

Some did, and the park is secured. It's a semi-private ride I guess, as the park would not be open otherwise.
-
If you want to go, the fee is $26.25 per rig via paypal and needs to be paid in advance.
-
Anybody riding Sunday?
-
Anybody who's going up tomorrow: want to meet some place around Atlanta and get a convoy goin? (yee haa)
-
hey kelly and i are heading over there tomorrow morning, out of buckhead if you wanna convoy, sounds good to me.
-
Sounds good, my route is 75 to 20 then over pretty much. If y'all pick up on that route, when and where do you want to meet?
-
well we were planning on being there around 8ish if thats fine. you name the place and ill be able to find it
-
Give us your cell, send us an email on here with your info and we'll get you our numbers. When you get off on 20W take it to the Fulton Industrial Boulevard exit and we'll meet up at a gas station off of there. Call us when you see the exit sign for FIB.
-
I think 8 is too early for me since its about a 3 hour drive for me and I plan on having a relaxing day offroading, haha. PM me your number and I will give you a call when I get there. I plan on getting there between 9:30-10.

Be safe. Go 2 more exits West to Thornton Rd. There you will find restaurants, gas stations, even a Wal-Mart if you turn left, and NO crack ho's on the corner. Yes, even at 9AM, but Oh wait, Jimmy will feel like he's in MACON! :D
-
WOW, so yesterday afternoon I got my tires balanced since a couple of weights had fallen off and its all interstate to Mountainside. I just went outside to start loading up my Jeep, AND I HAVE A FREAKING FLAT TIRE!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( WHAT THE HELL??? Am I never going to get to go on a trail ride ever again??? I need to get a $%#^ing matching spare. I'm going back to bed.....dammit.
-
I am madder than hell right now, lol, I can't go back to sleep, I can't drive to Mountainside, and I just realized my floor jack is at my buddy's house on the other side of town. >:( >:( >:( If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any.
-
Damn... any way to get air in it at your house and see where the leak is?
-

No, I am going to bring it back to the tire place in a little bit. I didn't see a nail in it or anything, but I've also never heard of a tire falling off the bead from getting balanced.
-
I have seen a few tire leak when they hammer the weights on. What I would do is watch the when they do it, mainly when they stick in in the tub of water that way you can let them no it was there fault or they will tell you it had a hole in it. What tire shop was it?
-
I just went to the Tires Plus on Forsyth. I just got back, they didn't find any thing in the tires and didn't disagree that it could have happened from adding the weights, so they didn't charge me ;D I should have asked for my $26.25 back for the trip, lol.
-
hey guys, kat and i just got back from mountainside, and it was a blast, but now when i drove back the jeep
was shakin like hell, so i gotta get that checked out and see what the deal is. ill check it later at work, but just
gonna take a nap now, sorry to hear about your bad luck jimmy, tough break, but at least the tire guys took care
of you for free.
-
You probably lost some wheel weights.
-
ummm... pics?
-
ummm... pics?
For real, I want to see what I missed out on, hahah, aahhh :(
Oh and Will, in my free time today I cleaned and organized my trail tool box. I know you'll appreciate not having to hear "crap, I need to organize this junk, I can't find anything, can I borrow a 13mm wrench? No, I need a 12-pointed one. Yeah, like that, thanks" anymore.
-
nps
Pics anybody????????
-
Any other survivors? Any floppers?
-
I dont think anyone else made it out. ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
you got to be kidding me, the park was open three days, and we set up, there were lots of people, from naxja.org there. im almost able to post pics.
-
there were something like 12 or 13 xj's and only 3 wranglers. but wasn't too bad at all, got tell ya the rev limiter
was a blast, i got video of that to post.

Keep posting. Call Matt a douche bag! :D

This was a blast. One of my fav rides so far. Not much carnage either. I know a WJ broke a front CV and a XJ cut down a few Swampers. I think the TJ's that did the rock garden bent some stuff. I feel less of a man after this ride. I tried Full Throttle early in the day and didn't make it. Went back after lunch and the wife was driving. She made it up after only a few tries. I guess she figures she can break it and I will have to fix it. Got video of both me and her and you can hear who was actually "full throttle". Pics will come tommorow.
We need to do another ride there. Very fun with lots to do for everyone.
-
Who was in the WJ? I just replaced my front CV saturday from Tellico. {toast}
-
There were two WJ's. One was my brother-in-laws and the other was a guy from NAXJA. Both did pretty good but both need lockers.
-
Here are some pics.
