Callalentee Sat June 28th

[Jeep07]

a few members from nc4x4 are riding callalentee sat and i think a few of us are going up to tag along. They are starting at 9 am.

[Gubni]

See you there! I've heard "pull cable" is much easier now. I hope you are going to try it.

Isn't pull cable were you dented your ram last time? I'm up for it if it's doable.

No, I bent it on a ledge somewhere else. I didn't get to pull cable last time.

What time is everyone meeting there? If I survive the 4th I may be up for this.

We are riding the 28th and meeting there at 9am. It would be great to see you there. I hope you can make it.

[TiredIronGRB]

I meant survive getting ready for the 4th.

I'm seriously considering trying to go.

I'm seriously considering trying to go.

If you've never been you should. I know there's plenty stuff you will like.

I've been once as a passenger, it didn't impress me much. But it's been a while, and I know it's changed a lot since then.

I went 1 time last year and had fun.. I just wanna ride :) Plus I think a few of our SC & NC grace members will be up there.

Kinda like Harlan it really helps to have someone that knows where to go. I'm not big on sight seeing, so I didn't pay much attention to that, but the obsticles are good.

[Frequency]

If I can fix my radiator tonight, I will go. I hear there are things an open/open rig can do :icon_mrgreen:

[Hilla-GO-Rilla]

I'm seriously considering driving the "Mater" wagon up there. :eusa_think:
Wheres everyone meeting up before slithering up the trail?

[Gubni]

We are meeting at the campground which is basically the trail head.

[Jeep07]

Loaded and ready. Leaving at 7 am.

[Gubni]

I had a problem with a hydraulic hose. I have to wait for NAPA to open at 7:30 tomorrow. I should be there by 9:00, but if they don't open until 8:00 then it will be 9:30. I hope you guys can wait on me. If not I'll try to find you on the trails. Where are you going first?

GMRS radio channel?

[Gubni]

Wow, what a ride. It was a blast. My buggy did great and had several good rigs there.

[Jeep07]

I had a good time yesterday. It was eventful that is for sure. Here is the best video of the day :)

YouTube- Landrover on waterfall at callalantee

[SamuraiGuyTN]

how much body damage was on the rover?

[Jeep07]

Not to bad at all. A few guys just pushed it back into place and then strapped it to the other fender.

[Adurbin]

Last time was drier, so that had to be this time.

[Gordon]

Bill, that had to tighten a muscle or two - dang!

[tennbronco]

I had a blast yesterday I just hope the next time I'm not ridin the 4wheeler and I am drivin the SMURF.

Wow!

[Hadfield4WD]

That was awesome. You might want to put some grab handles on that thing.

Here's the trail guides pictures and videos (http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/upnover/Mnt%20City%206-28-08/?start=0)...

It is and it's closer for me than any other major place. Then add that you can cut new trails any way you want without permission and it's an easy tow and it really is one of the best.

[TiredIronGRB]

I can be in Harlan faster than Mountain City and it's free to ride.

[Frequency]

Had a lot of fun! Can't believe my runner went up little tellico, but it did :icon_mrgreen::kewl:

Overall a great trip! Thankfully Landyota's electrical expertise fixed my fuel pump, or I would have never made it off the mountain before sundown :eusa_clap:

Here are the few pics I took; (http://picasaweb.google.com/TheBryanSmith/Callalentee) I did not have my camera's memory card in (doh!) and its internal storage leaves a lot to be desired.

[Jeep07]

I threw a vid of the ftoy on pull cable video together (http://www.wesleycombs.com/blog/tabid/53/EntryID/94/Default.aspx). That was probably my fav obstacle of the day. Lots of technical slow crawling.

[Hadfield4WD]

That is nice. Looks like fun. But Shawn's hat is still cooler.:love7:

[TiredIronGRB]

Pull Cable looks fun, we'll have to make another trip and maybe stay overnight.

Here's the clip (http://www.4x4grace.com/tiredirongrb/GRB_Waterfall.wmv) of mine on the waterfall.
