Chinquipin Off-Road (Sneedville,TN) Aug. 23rd

[250cows]

We're gonna have a ride the 23rd of Aug., starting at 9:00 a.m..
We finally made it in Issue 15 of CRAWL, check it out.

[Gubni]

If you have never been you must check this place out. It's mostly just rocks, but image a mile of rock garden from stuff like Harlans Lower Rock garden to more extreme stuff like the upper rock garden.

I'll be there!

[TedsOffroad]

I am going to try and make it. I have a few places on my jeep that are still straight that I need to work on down there.

:laughing4:

[250cows]

We're gonna waive the roll-cage rule on this ride -- like to have alot of you local guys come and experience this place.

[Gubni]

This is my favorite place around. No trails, just obsticles. If my buggy was broke I'd go just to watch. I hope to see some of you there.

Are you going to try to make it George?

[TiredIronGRB]

I doubt I can, I have a lot of work I have to get done at the house or I'm going to be sleeping in my TowCamper.

[Jeep07]

If the wife feels good (not on the verge of delivery) then I will be there for sat.

[250cows]

Trying to get a head count. Several will be camping and riding Sun. also.

[aclokwerk]

should still be going will drive up that morning

[Gubni]

I'll be there, but just for the day. I think a few rigs from knoxville will be there also.

[TedsOffroad]

I'll be there. I think Kelly in the blue Cj will be there also

[aclokwerk]

hey gubni when and where you want to meet up sat morning...

[Landyota]

A huge thank you to Gary, David, Dad, and Grand Dad for a great time today. Wonderful hosts and some really FINE rocks to play on!!

Thanks again
Bill

[Gubni]

Yep, had a blast. Can't wait to do it again.

[aclokwerk]

it was the most fun ive had in a long time... i took a ton of pics and hope to have them posted soon....by soon i mean the next week i took somewhere around 2500...so soon i promise

[Jeep07]

Man this was the best ride I've had all summer! Thanks for hosting it.

aclokwerk it was good to meet you today.

I took a little damage on the buggy. Flexed the rear end up into the muffler and bent the exhaust up. Shawn had a crazy roll on a wall climb that ripped one of the roof skins off but he had his helmet on and was strapped in so all is good. Dad didn't really have any issues this time ;)

I didn't get many pics but I'll load up what I did get later tonight if they are any good.

[250cows]

I think Gubni needs to change his name to Coalminer after his mishap.
The flat black buggy from Lexington took a roll into the mouth of the big cave.
Wish you guys would have stayed last night, we eat several pound of farm raised burger.
Getting ready to go cook some breakfast and start Round 2, with Wild Bill and Chickey Barton, and the Fuson Brothers new buggy -- should be an interesting day.

[TedsOffroad]

Thanks for letting us ride. I had a great time. Next time you camp let me know and we will make plans for it. Here are a few pics. Scroll down to the 8/23/08 date

[Gubni]

Well I almost made it. It was fun and nothing was hurt.

[TiredIronGRB]

You need a helmet.

[250cows]

We had good ride Sunday. Alan Rich (W.E.Rock) showed up in his buggy. Chickey Barton done a back flip on the hill that Gubni rolled on. We quit riding about 7:00 after Wild Bill rolled and about bit his tounge off, and busted the radiator in the rock race.

[Hadfield4WD]

...about bit his tounge off...

That right there gave me chills.

[Gubni]

You need a helmet.

I got a hockey helmet I wear when I think I might flip. This was just a little jump.

[aclokwerk]

ok everyone the final picture count was just shy of 3800 photos for the day i left around 5:30 or so. thank you all for putting up with me blocking your view and getting in the way sometimes. i had the laptop working hard last night while i was sleeping and i had photoshop just auto level all the pics so i have not really sorted them as of yet but here are the first 500 i was able to upload.

that being said these have been reduced to a medium size so i can upload all of the pics. the only thing i ask is that you dont try to sell them or pass the off as your own. download or print to your hearts content. i also have not deleted a single image yet so some will be quite horrible and out of focus. if anyone wants certain photos in full size just pm me the photo num. and ill get them to ya. but at full res they print 4 feet by almost 3 feet. and they arre 1.5md to 6mb each so i hope your email address can handle it.

wes well have to meet up or i can burn ya a set of dvds all in all its 16.5gb in size....this should keep me busy for a month.

[TNRanger]

[aclokwerk]

I will get those pics up on a server soon. I've just been swamped.

[jhilltn]

aclokwerk, thanks for taking all those great pics. I was trying to explain how the ride was to my wife and daughter. The pics made it so much easier. Hopefully they will get to come next time.
