Anyone wanna go to Tellico this month?

[Georgia Mike]

I know it's only been about 3-4 months since we were there last time,but I love it up there! Anyone else game? Maybe a moderate to difficult ride? It would also be cool to lounge out on lower two and watch the big dogs play if the weather is nice. :lol: ! 22nd sound good? Let's get the season started!!!! :D

[jeepxjga]

i'm hopefully leaving for there next wednesday, possibly next friday though, but i wanna try and get up there for 5 days for spring break. my club will be there along with our newest additions to the club from www.jeepsandyotas.com, the green xj on one tons and all around coils will be there in full force haha. you guys are welcome to come watch or ride or whatever, we will be staying at andrews cabin on the TN side. later

[Carpenter]

Just beware that if you go the 23rd that is the weekend JeepsUnlimited is doing thier big ride there. I believe that is the weekend anyway.

[Kudzu]

:D

If there is enough interest from our group we can have our own little ride without JU...There will be 2 groups running one 15 &16 and the other 22 & 23

The first will be a group from FL

Up to you guys.

Also the Axle for the Xj is going to be here next week and we need to plan a day to install it... If you all are up for it we can make a weekend of it and work Sat and ride Sat night with a local group...

[Georgia Mike]

That's cool! We can work around JU easily out there:rolleyes:but we need to keep it on the 22nd 'cause that's an off weekend for Andy.:D

[Mark WNC]

You going to Tellico ,I'm there.

[atbguy]

Which trails will y'all be running? Someone else also mentioned JU being there... anybody know the dates they'll be there and how crowded it might be? Thanks

Those coming to tellico if you have any wheelin video if you woul please make a copy for me and I will reimberse you for the tape and etc there...these Kids are getting tired of watching the same Rick Russell vid and I have to sub for them in about 3 weeks again..

[Mark WNC]

So we're definitly going to tellico on the 22nd?

[Georgia Mike]

:D :D :D :D YEAH BABY!!!! Speaking of videos,anyone have a video camera they could bring along? The only one readily accessable to me is my dad's,and it's about 15 years old and the size of a briefcase:rolleyes: so it's not all that convenient to use :laugh:

[Mark WNC]

I'll be bringing a digital camera that will take 30 seconds
of video.

[roXJeepr]

I'll be bringing a video camera that will take about 8 hrs of video, so if I ride with you guys I'll have ya covered. As long as we are'nt doing lower 2 or 12 then I'll go anywhere ya'll go (as long as someone doesn't mind throwing me a line once or twice). I'll need a rope on 7 and 11 for sure if we go on those. Is most everyone gonna be at Crawfords on saturday morning then? What time to meet and where?

Ahhhh yes, Tellico. Did you see the size of that rock :eek:
:D :D :D

[Georgia Mike]

:eek: CRAP!!! I knew I was forgetting something! A Meeting time/place. Any suggestions? I know for sure I'm gonna be stopping for breakfast in Murphy before going out riding all day. Anyone wanna camp at Crawford's Friday or Saturday night? Has ANYONE got crawford's e-mail address??:confused: :confused:

[Georgia Mike]

Nevermind. I found the phone number on the net. Here it is if anyone wants to call in a spot *(828) 837-9077* . Let me know if anyone's staying and when. I don't wanna be the only one there:D

[Mark WNC]

Hey All, I'll probably just park at the pay station.
I'll try to be there about 9:00 or 9:30 Unless you all
want to start earlier.

[Kudzu]

Kevin and I will be there bring some friend too...Thinking of comeing up Fri night let you know Monday for sure...

I posted Crafords cantact info on the Cherokee Crawl Froum in the General info post.

[jeepxjga]

i will try to make it this weekend, it will be tough, i got a trailer, i just need to find a tow rig for the weekend. i'll see what i can do though, i went last weekend, and my junk worked great, walked up guardrail and the pad, then down schoolbus, then right up the face of slickrock. i'll let ya'll know sooner if i can make it, don't count me in though, two tellico trips in one week is tough on the heep :)

[a-mechanic]

I'm in. and might be bringin a tj with me.

[atbguy]

which trails will y'all be running?

[jeepxjga]

well i wanna try and run the hard stuff, gotta give lower 2 a shot, maybe guardrail and the pad or slickrock, definitely doin lower 2, not sure about what else though. workin on a towrig right now, its looking pretty promising so i am hopin on being there friday nite. are you all stayin at stateline?

[BIGWOODY]

I will be there , most likely at Crawfords, on early friday morning. May have other trucks with me, may not. I will be up for riding the most difficult trails,followers welcome. I just need to finish putting my T-case back in today and I should be ready to go.

[BIGWOODY]

I wil definitely be there Friday morning , at Crawfords. From what I saw on the JU board it looks like they have the usual lots of people backing out,so maybe it won't be too crowded. I plan on running all the difficult stuff, if you want to hook up Mike,let me know, it sounds like you and I share the same trail agenda for the weekend. I will be alone so any other company is welcome to tag along. Friends of mine were there last weekend and said lower2 had gotten all but easy , they ran it in about 30mins. When I was there in FEB. it took us 4 hours to get three trucks up it, he said it looked like it had been paved since the last time we were there.Guess we'll see.

[Carpenter]

Why don't you just come ride Rattle Rock with us Friday Greg?

[BIGWOODY]

Already told the wife I would take her to Tellico to camp. Plus just got to make lower2 unassisted. I
ll be at Crawfords friday morning about 8 or so

[Georgia Mike]

I'll meet ya'll at the pay station around 9:00-9:30 AM Saturday. See ya there!!

[Kudzu]

Hey Mark can you take some leaf springs and coils back with you Sat..They are for Woody and he will get with you about getting them.

[jeepxjga]

well, looks like a no go for me, can't find a tow rig unless i happen to chance upon one tomorrow. i may ride up there with my buddy though. we'll see.

[Mark WNC]

Hey, I sure can,
Anything for a fellow XJ'er

[roXJeepr]

Hey Mike,
It looks like I'll probly be camping saturday nite. Not sure where yet. I'm not making reservations, so where ever I can get a spot.

[Kudzu]

Crawfords will proboly have spots...and he has some primitve site that are about $8 per night...We will most likly get one of those and someone can share with us...

[Georgia Mike]

I may do that,too. It'll be a LLLLLLOOOONNNNGGGGG day getting up that early (especially on a Saturday:rolleyes: ),'wheeling all day,then driving all the way back home. We'll see how it goes:D
