Does anyone in TN recognize where this video may have been shot?

Looks like a bunch of GA Jeepers came into TN for a day of wheeling. Around the 5-6 minute mark they start working their way into a cave which is kind of interesting.

Im pretty sure there is a similar cave in the coppenger cove area, that might be it

That is quite cool but I'd be worried about that being illegal wheeling.

These guys didn't seem to be high on the "Tread Lightly" mantra - seeing as how they parked in the middle of a stream for a picture.

Yep! :wierd:

Doug is correct, that's the cove. Pretty good riding!

Nature won't implode if you drive through a stream

I'd love to take the ghost on some of that.......

I've been wanting to go there for a while. Everyone I've talked to says it's great wheeling. I hear you really NEED a guide that knows their way around.

No, no it won't. I agree. But tread lightly suggests driving directly across the stream to minimize the impact - not backing up a waterfall for a group picture.

What is it near? Closest town?

 

[Lowrange2]

It's near Chattanooga. Up I-24 a ways towards Nashville. Roughly a 4.5 hour drive for me. It's on the list of spots to wheel next year.

You've already asked these questions. lol

I edited my post.

Look up Bryant's Cove Church in Marion County. It's near there. Not sure of the exact entrance.

Last time I went to Coppingers Cove was back in 2010 and Tyler led the trip. I believe we either ended or started in Tracy City. Tyler was still in his Ranger, and Doug still had his Waggy. This may have been one of the first trips that Doug took Sam on if I remember correctly.

Yup that was sams first wheeling trip. We had a slow day and everyone broke, she had a blast and was asking when the next one was. We had only been dating a few weeks

Is there anywhere to park my tow rig? Or is this the kind of run you need tags and to be street able?

 

[shortxjdoug]

Last time i was there i parked the tow rig at some abandoned grocery store... Honestly im not too in the know about the area

 

[Cottontail]

I recall that we entered on one end of the trail and exited out a different one. Ed was on that ride with me and when we left the trail near Tracy City (I remember the details now that I really think about it), we just headed north to home because the guys to the south and the ones with trailers had a bunch of road miles to do before reaching the parking lot we used.

There was an old abandoned strip mall where we staged and where a number of guys left their tow rigs and trailers.

The strip mall is just outside Tracy City on Hwy 150. I found it on Google Maps. It is just East of town.
