Looks like Brendan, Mark, and I is it. 8ackemma at the Waffle House on 441 in Clayton? Sarah's Creek, come out at Tuckaluge, back to 441, N to Coweeta Lab and ride up to Cherokee Cave and Maybe Picken's Nose for the walks and view, then back out to 441, S to Bettys Creek, W to Patterson Gap, Persimmon Road to FS 70 to Charlie's Creek/Tate City, out to 76 and back to Clayton, subject to change on the fly, as per usual.

I'll PM my cell to you other two...

Mark and I split ways with Eddy, and went on our own high speed aventure.

Found a cool road that you could see to the top of.

Fun day of riding the trails..

Oh yeah.. I almost lost my driveshaft on the way home!!! Thought there was a vibration in the front.. turned out to be my driveshaft bolts coming loose. Kind of weird considering I've driven the hell out of the truck for the last year and half since the clutch job, including some heavy wheeling, tons of highway driving, and it wasn't until Mark and I blazed down a 5 mile section of road that the bolts came loose!

By the time I pulled into the gas station when the vibration felt worry some, I had just lost two of the 4 nuts, and I found two bolts behind the truck at the pump. I still had two nuts barely on the threads of the other two bolts, so I grabbed a 14 MM wrench from my toolbox, and stole two of the front driveshaft bolts to put on the rear to get me the rest of the way home.

Then I realized I left my hat at the Mexican Restaurant in Clayon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> What an exciting day.


Again, Nice meeting you guys hope to do it again soon.

Hate that I missed it. Looks like ya'll had a good time. Don't worry about getting outwheeled, Brendan. Eddy could probably do the same in a FWD Buick with flat tires... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Last few shots look kinda like Popcorn trail. And La Pachanga has the best tamales I've had since I was in Laredo...


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

I'm going past the restaurant this evening. The Rabun county SAR team meets tonight for training. Remind me what it looks like and I'll see if they have it.
