So when you guys want to do this..I have a commiment for the afternoon of Nov 3rd but anythig after that is okay..if we do it during the week..would have to be late remember you guys are an hour ahead of me and an hour away.

BruceB83
October 22nd, 2007, 06:36
Well since it seems like everybody interested is either in Ga or very close to it, what do we think about just planning a SE Chapter ride somewhere close to the GA/AL/TN line? I know there are a few threads about people going out to the trails but maybe if we can plan for say 2-3 weeks out, we can get a good group together?

***EDIT*** What about Prentice Cooper State Park? Kudzu, you've been there right? How is that place? I'm sure there is camping there too, right?

XJerome
October 22nd, 2007, 08:13
Morris mountain,or a non-ride meet sounds good to me. I cant afford to go very far or i would just go to the flog. I also know a good spot in douglasville we could meet with some short easy trails nearby.

Kudzu
October 22nd, 2007, 13:53
While I would love to go out and wheel..the is/will be still stock. and yeah if I had the $$ I would be at the flog too...

I bet i've done the cove but its been about 3 years

non ride is good for me too. My wife hates me beating the WJ up.

October 22nd, 2007, 17:06
I'm in for any days except the weekend of the Flog, first time to Tellico and I can't wait! I've seen a few well built XJs around and look foward to meeting some of the family! I'm in the Doraville area and don't mind to drive, my XJ gets better mileage than anything else in the driveway.

Don't put out that BS. :D A stock XJ is quite capable. Ask me how I know.

Kudzu
October 23rd, 2007, 13:47
Hehe..I know how capable they are too..the first SEC trail ride was lead by a stocker thru the trail in Ellijay...but this will be my DD for a while so I really don't want to break it first thing...

Ok peeps. I think Kudzu and I decided that Kennesaw will be a good location for everybody to meet.

Now we need to figure out the when/where stuff. Ideas???

If I am in town, I will come. Do they allow dogs at Kennesaw?

LOl...what do you mean by do they allow dogs AT Kennesaw? Do you mean does Kennesaw have an anti-dog ordinance or something??? I don't think so...lol.

Maybe you are confused, Kennesaw is the city we are going to meet up at. It's not an offroad park or anything. :looney:

this is true. for the last few months they had kinda like a 4 wheel dirve night on thursdays. noting special, but a lot of 4 wheel drive show up at that hooters by cowboys on thursdays. dont know if thats still happenin.

Anybody have a date yet. I am new to this forum but would like to come check out some other Cherokee's. Later.

Kudzu
October 30th, 2007, 13:58
Okay lets get this nailed down...

1. Week night or weekend?

2. Where? do we want to meet and eat if so throw out a suggestion.

BruceB83
October 30th, 2007, 14:08
You beat me to this Kudzu. Lol...I was just coming in here to write the same thing.

Honestly, for a non-trail ride, I would prefer during the week. It seems less hectic then. If it's on a Saturday or something, people have to plan around it. At least if it's during the week, as long as it's in the evening most people can probably come by.

Throwing dates out...how about next week, either the 6th or 7th, or the following week, either the 13th or 14th? Those are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The next week is Thanksgiving week so that is probably not a good one.

I can't remember what all is up in that area so anybody from the Kennesaw area have any ideas on where to meet?

BruceB83
October 30th, 2007, 14:20
Los Reyes? Sidelines? Mellow Mushroom?

Sidelines and MM are both good. Anybody?

If we can make it, it will have to be on the weekend. My local club has done a few "Drive In's" for dinner, and hanging out at places like Sonic. The restaurant loved it too. We attracted quite a bit of attention, and the manager was busy handing out discount coupons.......:wave:

Ok...I guess I was wrong about the weekend thing. That's fine too. Funny, I was thinking Sonics too. I thought since it was an outdoor type place, we could be better accomodated. Were is there a Sonics in Kennesaw?

On 41 near QT and Auto Zone. Just north of McCollum at the bottom of the hill. Not alot of parking, but QT has tons of room to spare.

Kudzu
October 30th, 2007, 21:10
Okay sonic sounds good... the sonic is at 2705 Cobb Parkway there is another one on Baker Orad in Actworth that is about 5 miles from the one above I think....
On a saturday time?

Date the 10 or 17th?

I think the Kennesaw location is probably best but what do you think since you are probably the most familiar with them.

2705 Cobb Parkway, Kennesaw, GA 30152



I live off Powers Ferry right near the perimeter (aka not in the Ghetto.. ) Just moved down from Acworth. I used to work accross from that Sonic in Kennesaw.

The Sonic in Kennesaw is fine with me. The 4WheelParts in Marietta has a big sale on the 10th of November. Y'all could check it out then head down to Sonic. :)

BruceB83
October 31st, 2007, 12:05
I personally don't care for 4WheelParts. I think they are rude and do not have good customer service. Also, their "Buy 3 Pro Comps, Get 1 FREE" deal is crap. They just raise the price of the tires. But this isn't about them...sorry...

4wheelparts sucks. I buy my stuff online and have it shipped and its still cheaper and i get better service and no BS.

Crap....this sucks. I just realized this is going to be tough for me to attend. The weekend of the 17th, I will be camping/wheeling up in Cullowhee, NC. I will be here the weekend of the 10th but Saturday is kind of full. I have to be in Covington by 5 for something for my wife.

Can we do this around noon on Saturday? Or maybe Sunday?

About 25 miles, but the Aquarium is well worth it. Get there early, because if it is busy, you will have to wait a couple hours to get in.

So, do they sell admission tickets by time of day? So as to control the flow of folks through? If so, I'll try to buy our tickets ahead, and get a reasonable time. I think AAA presells admisions tickets to places like that.

So...I expect to see some XJ's at Sonic for dinner! In addition, not sure how many of you are familiar with Zach, from the birmingham area. He's got a "desert sand" (AKA GOLD) XJ on 33's or 35's. He's stuck in MD Anderson in Houston dealing with some medical issues...and I told him I'd take a bunch of pics for him to drool over while he's stuck in the hospital.....So how many are coming out to this fun evening of burgers, dogs, shakes, and Cherokee's??:viking:

Thats cool. Had a ride one time in Mont Eagle, TN and I forgot to tell everyone that they are on Central there so most everyone was an hour early.

Well guys...still not sure if I'll be able to make it. I feel bad especially considering I started this thread. Not only do I have the company Christmas party in Buford at 6:30 but I also have to go to one of our good friends combined "wedding party" thingy that starts at 5:30. I also have to install shocks on 2 WJ's in the morning. It turned into a CRAZY day. I don't think I'll be able to swing it but I'm gonna play it by ear.

I see an older gray XJ driving on 316 every now and then. It appears to have about a 4" lift or so....dark gray. It is usually heading from out near Dacula into L'ville in the mornings and opposite in the afternoons. The guy who drives it has a shaved head and glasses...that you?

I'd like to do a trail ride...even if it's an easy/mild one. Not sure if Beasley Knob would be good for this??? There is a place in Tiger, GA near Clayton on 441 (985 north) that has a decent amount of mild trails for a day ride. The only thing is I think there is a kind of deep river crossing at the entry. I learned of it through the Atlanta Land Rover club site. They said since we've been in a drought that the water is usually lower right now. Has anybody been there to confirm this? The pics look pretty decent other than that crossing.

A club I was in in Greenville, SC (TNT) has been there a time or two. I was never able to go. From what I've heard, it's private property. And the last I heard it was "closed". Don't know 100% though. If we were to do an Atlanta area M&G, I would want it to be somewhere 100% legit.

I know it's still open...the Land Rover guys went there I think last weekend. They apparently go about 1 every month or so. I do remember them saying it's private...I know with there type, they wouldn't go if it wasn't legit.

BruceB83
April 2nd, 2008, 07:53
Ok, I just checked and it's legit. It's a bunch of old logging roads with alot of v-ditches and some water crossings. One of the trails goes back to Stonewall Falls....its some waterfall. The area is used by alot of mountain bikers.
