Paul (phines),
good to hear from you, man ... that would be cool if you and the Blacksburg gang could make it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

wow ... interest is definitely growing ... i plan to camp both Friday and Saturday nights at campground #3 which is north of the trailhead as rodeo_chris has mentioned and has plenty of room for multiple camp sites and many vehicles ... there is camping available at Stateline Campground with room for parking trailers very near the trailhead if you get there in time to reserve space (first come first serve)

stony-man,
you can ride with me Saturday morning and get a feel for the trails before taking your Montero on them if you like ... me, I hit trail 6 with 31s on my first time at Tellico and loved it ... with your LWB (4-door) vehicle the most likely damage would be your rear bumper getting scraped going down Fains Ford creek crossing, but this can be avoided with care <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

had an '88 Montero, then an '04 Rubicon ... sold 'em tho
