Hey guys,
I am working on getting a little offroad/camping trip scheduled for Labor Day weekend. I have a buddy coming in town from Louisiana with his rubicon for the trip. I've been planning to show him some better trails than what he is used to riding. I am considering Beasley, but haven't set the place yet. We will plan to ride out early on Sunday, wheel sunday, camp, and leave on Monday. Anyone is welcome to join. Suggestions on destinations are also appreciated. Thanks
Edit: planning on Saturday/sunday instead.
-
I might be in. Just gotta see how far along this current project is. If your wanting to show him some good trails, you may want to look at places lie Morris Mountain or Chocco.
Either way I might be in!!
-
Good point. Beasley can be done in well under a day esp in a vehicle with lockers and decent tires. You do always run the risk of it being closed due to rain. It is cheap at $5 but the camp ground is just a gravel lot. You should probably attempt to find a nicer place to camp if you do Beasley. I might be game to go but just depends on what we already have planned I don't know about yet!

Yeah, hopefully you guys can join. I haven't been to morris mountain or chocco, but I'm good with whatever. We'd like to stay reasonably close (within a couple of hours) as they will be driving back to Louisiana on Monday. I just want them to see how different our terrain is than theirs. And that our trails are so much better! Haha
Side note: Hopefully gears, locker, axle shafts, and gusset and truss kit can be done before, but i don't think i can make it happen that soon.
-
Go to Chooco. It is west in AL within a few hours of ATL and gives them a head start towards home. There is plenty to do for stock to wild. Hotels close and camping on site with a bath house.
-
I might be able to tag along for this one
-
Might can make this one too. They'll post the labor day schedule here soon, then I will know for sure.
I'd take them to Choccolocco. My .02.
-
I'm up for Chocco. Never been, so I always like checking out new trails.

Due to the NASCAR race we will likely move the ride to Saturday. Probably still camp sat night, I hope many of you can still make it! Sorry for the change
-
Saturday night camping may work better for me than Sunday.
I love Chocco, I'll see if I can make this.
-
if I have a tow pig and trailer then I am down on this more than likely.
-
I am game

I'm in if we are still talking about riding Saturday and camping Saturday night.
-
Riding saturday, deciding on camping last minute. Some of it depends on race plans.

You got the tow pig, looks like you are in!! :)

it's Buffalo, half our defense is sitting out....I'm going to wheel. Plus Chocco has good cell coverage, plenty of phone updates.

Hello to all. My name is Vince. I am on a lot of other forums so you may know or have seen some of my posts. I think its good to have so many places to go to get info or just talk Jeeps. I'm in Peachtree City, Ga. I am a member in Georgiacrawlers. I have not done a lot of wheeling, but hopefully will get out more this year. I have an '04 GC, 2.5"BB and UC springs, (= 3.25"), MX-6 shocks, RR rockrails, JKS discos, skids, Addco rear sway bar, and soon to be installed an Aussie locker. Hope to meet some of you out on a trail sometime.
They will win anyway or better. I need borrow a trailer unless i find one by then.

What are everyone's thoughts on this ride? Who is planning to come? Do you think we should look at other options with a better forecast? Gulches, etc
-
I might be out. Not sure yet what's going on. Might be getting over ruled by the female in the house.
-
Depends on weather to how that park would be. Gulches is near by.

Im 100% open to suggestions. I've never been to either park, and would like to avoid the rain of at all possible.

Gulches is a blast but along way if your not going to camp.

I'm in the same boat....

i have been to Chocco when it rained and it dried out pretty quick. It's not clay like everything in GA is.

Very good to hear. I'd rather keep it scheduled here unless we just cant.
-
Seemed like there was some interest in this ride in the thread. Trying to get a complete headcount, go check into the check in thread if you are planning to join us. Should be a fun ride!
-
Yall missed an awesome ride! Thanks for suggesting chocco, most fun I've had wheeling the jeep yet. I'll post some videos and pics later. Here is a decent shot of my buddy's jeep.

Looks like ya'll had a good time. It's hard to get a group together for rides the aren't on the calendar. We just went to Kentucky, then we have JeepFest coming up + GATRFEST next month. Anyways, glad you guys had fun!! Make sure you come out to Gulches next month, the park is absolutely awesome!!
