Harlan later this month

[Hokie_YJ]

I'll be off work Aug. 24th - Sept. 3rd, we shut down the week before Labor day every year. I'd like to make a trip to Harlan during that time. I'd kinda like to stay a couple days, anybody interested in going over say maybe Fri. the 24th and coming back Mon. the 27th. It would be a good time to get out of town and away from all the race traffic. :mrgreen:

Anybody interested?

[BillM]

Ben I think the race is this coming weekend isn't it?

[Jazzman31]

That would be a Big 10-4 there Bill.

[Gordon]

Ben, I'm definitely interested. I'd only go up for one day, however. Probably Saturday the 25th.

[Hokie_YJ]

Nope the Busch race is on the 24th, and the Cup race is the 25th.[/url]

It's the same weekend every year. I was in Harlan that weekend last year too with Hano and friends. That was my YJ's maiden voyage with the new axles. This year will be a bit of an anniversary celebration. :mrgreen:

Gordon that'd be great too. We could meet up early Saturday morning and get a good day of riding in.

[TiredIronGRB]

Sounds good to me, I may have to sell some blood for gas money :P

[Hokie_YJ]

Or maybe just a couple vehicles. :laughing1:

[Derrickalda]

wish I could be there

[Hokie_YJ]

Me too

[Hilla-GO-Rilla]

:-k Hmmmmm tempting tempting .....

[Jeep07]

I like harlan but when are we going to tellico? I really want to get over there soon. I could use a good Fri-Sun camping trip in the woods. That would be very fun.

[TiredIronGRB]

I wish I had gone before they started harassing wheelers so bad, I was talking to a guy this weekend that got 11 tickets just for problems with camping and several others in his group got big$ tickets for vehicle infractions. It just doesn't make sense to me to go somewhere that they don't want you when I can go to Harlan where they roll out the red carpet :grin:

[SamuraiGuyTN]

I hate to hear that about Tellico, I have always wanted to return there. I guess they expect you to trailor your rig to the trail head and then go wheeling. thats crazy, but then again, that area is starting to boom with all the yuppies moving in. property values are gonna start rising down there if they haven't already. But Harlan is closer, and I do like red carpet. :grin:

x2 :!: I want to at least be able to SAY that I've rode Tellico because in a few years it may not be open to ride anymore. Besides, the hospitality of Harlan County is hard to beat, and they won't hang you if your rig spills one drop of oil.

[Marty G]

red lenoleam not carpet :lol: you cant beat harleen

[Adurbin]

This is very tempting indeed. I would only be down for one day which would be that Sunday, but very, very tempting. I would like to go with someone who knows the trails. The last time I went, my wife and I were by myself so I mainly stayed on level 3 and less trails, but did manage to find my way around better than the first time. I will get back to you on this one.

[TiredIronGRB]

Lets go on the 24th and come back on the 3rd.

[Jeep07]

:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

[Adurbin]

Just talked to the wife, she has approved funding for petro. I will definetly be there on Sunday, just need to work out the details as to where to meet you guys. Yes, Yes, Yes. My wife rules!!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

[TiredIronGRB]

Seriously how about the 30th to the 3rd?

[BillM]

You guys are killing me. I will be in Lawrenceberg that weekend. Be helping someone do some major wrenching. Have fun...

[Adurbin]

Which trailhead do you all use??

[Jeep07]

Seriously how about the 30th to the 3rd?

I will start doing some hint dropping around the house.

Oh shoot, that will overrun our trip to Calliente on the 2nd. But, may wish to do harlan more.

[TiredIronGRB]

Once you go to Harlan, it will be hard to go back to Callientee.

[Gordon]

Which trailhead do you all use??

Bailey's Creek

I've stayed at the Putney side a few times but I like the Bailey's Creek side better because of the Corner Cafe :lol:

[Adurbin]

Ive been to Harlan Twice now. I love it. Just wanted to see what Calliente was like.

You will like callantee in your jeep. Welder is a good trail for your jeep.

[TiredIronGRB]

It would be good if you could tag along with some of the guys from AORC, they live there and know every inch of it. Without a guide it's hard to find your way around.

[Hokie_YJ]

I can't do that weekend.

[TiredIronGRB]

Why not?

[Hokie_YJ]

I'll be gone.

[Adurbin]

Quite the bummer. I have to work the 25th. Dangit. If you all decide to go down the 30th thru the 3rd let me know.

[Bluegill]

I can probably ride on Sat the 1st.

[Hokie_YJ]

So is anybody interested/able to go this weekend?

[TiredIronGRB]

I have the "Great Give Away" at church Saturday...I wish I could, you should skip that ball game next weekend and let's go then :idea: :wink:

[Adurbin]

Yeah, I have to work this entire weekend so Im out, but next weekend Saturday and Sunday will be a definite.

[Want2Wheel]

I may be up for a ride this weekend. Let me know how it goes.

[Gordon]

Since this weekend has sorta fizzled out, I'll hit something local on the 25th and see what Labor Day weekend brings.

[Hokie_YJ]

Yeah, I'm not gonna go this weekend. Just isn't a good weekend I guess. :lol:

[Gordon]

Rob started a thread for the following weekend. Maybe Harlan on the 1st?
