The legends we will be riding are 4/5's and we will also be going on some 8/9 Trails. All are welcome.

Looks like we may be staying at crawfords.

Hey George, if you don't make this one, are you going to GSMTR in May or SE4RJ in June? Both at Tellico.

I'd like to see the Cruiser at Tellico.

Oh yeah, I have another more capable rig in the works.

Well, if you miss that, some of us will be at SE4RJ June 7-10-it's a very mixed age crowd though and some may get a little loud at night, but it's still a fun crowd.

Not looking good for me making the Harlan ride, just too much going on right now.

I'm going from a new rig, new camper, new house to an old motorhome, older rig, and older house. I think I have lost my mind.

Well, I will have a tow rig now and a camper with no setup time. A reliable and very capable older rig that is cheap that I will not worry about body damage. I will probably sell the rig I have now since I also have a work truck.

The house is solid, just needs a little work, is bigger than what I have now, has a woodburning fireplace that I wanted, a huge screen porch, has plenty of driveway parking and has a flat lot that is 4 times bigger than what I have now-all for just a little more than what I will sell my current house for.

I will feel better once all the moving is over-it's just such a hassle.

Seems they are having a proactive fix to the problem. If they get it in the process there won't be much to worry about. The ersion can be helped there, the most trail damaged areas are the ones were the 350hp cab trucks hammerdown, and most of the owners of these truck are local to the tellico area.

Been into racing before this-
My dad worked at the Number 1 BMW, Porcshe, Bently, and Rolls Royce delarship in the country. Jeff Gordon and other drivers came in to pick up cars that there sponsor bought them quite frequently. Also not to mention he got free tickets to the Daytona 500. And we also get free tickets to Lowes Motor Speedway :lol:

I have also owned my share of Fast cars before I bought a truck. Still trade in and out of the cars. My favorite was my 1990 Vette with a 383 Stroker and ProCharged... not to mention 6spd.

I am still kinda more loyal to cars, but more and more into off roading.

The Upper Tellico ORV Area is located in the Nantahala National Forest near Murphy, North Carolina in Cherokee County. Murphy is located in the southwestern part of the state where North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia all come together, and at the junction of Hwy 19/74 and Hwy 64. The Upper Tellico ORV Area is famous for some of the best 4x4 trail riding in all of America. Names like Guardrail, Helicopter Pad, Slick Rock and School Bus all conjure up visions of rock piles, steep hills and off camber ascents to challenge offroaders of all experience levels.

It is counted as a "Grace Ride" cause we are grace supporters. George said that quoted cause I didn't get my money in. Sent it in the mail today.
So we are good at that part. I really can't wait to get out there again. Sounds like you are bringing some good rigs Matt! I cannot wait to take a look at the YJ you guys are putting together. And the jeep jeep jeep was a joke. I told you I am first in line when you sell the rubi 8)


Accomations: So the rooms are four to cabin so how many do you think we will be needing? Just one? If we have like five people we can bring a air mattress and do straws for the bunks :lol:

I will probably be riding with you Matt for a bunch of it. The steering is leaking worse and don't want to take many chances.

The ride went good. Wheeled the toy the first day along with two jeeps. The truck performed flawlessly and the front locker got it up all the obstacles we put it up against. Caught the crossmember once and it had to be strapped but that will not be a problem anymore cause it got pushed up about 3 to 4 inches so it clears everything just fine now! haha... Second day it poured rain in the morning and the night before so we left the yoder at the cabin and wheeled the two jeeps. It was a great ride!

I did not take many pics but we do have a great vid of the second day that we will get up when we can.

Matt can tell more if he wants of the ride.
