That deffinitally looked fun <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. Some spots looked a lil scary for me. I can see why you stayed away of those rocks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />. Are there ways around all the hard parts? Is there alot of trials, compared to Uwharrie. Looks fun. I might have to consider going there sometime. Thanx for those cool pics Ray.
Later,
Angelo

Nice shots and a nice trail. Looks like it was cool temperature-wise... was it? Stream crossings are always fun. I would have gone through those rocks. "Have locker (and a good spotter) will travel" I always say. Of course, that's why the only un-damaged body panel is my rear door <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> (knock on wood). Of course this could change next week <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> Besides, girls dig scars!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

wow, looks a lot like Texas only more water in the creekbed and longer stretches of medium-sized boulders. like the way that Raider looks with those Swampers, especially next to the EB (which i also like).

many of the more difficult spots on the trail had no bypass, some of the mud pits were over the headlights ... much more difficult than Uwharrie ... and the AxleTwisters said they took it easy on me and rode the easier trails <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

no, we let it go, and as it crawled away i'm sure it gave us the signal <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />
the lead rig accidentally rode over the snapper turtle in one of the mud pits on the trail and left Swamper tracks on its back ... one brave soul picked it up by its tail and we watched it snap off a 1/2 inch twig in its mouth ... we also saw a river otter, heard critters that reminded me of the sounds in the movie "Predator"

the temperature was mild (70s), but it was humid, very humid (sultry) ... thankfully the campfire burned off the humidity so we could enjoy the cool evening air as we bragged about who took the harder lines ... i was the only one who tried to go through the one deep mud pit in the pics of my rig, they egged me on, my motor stalled before i got 1/3 of the way through, then Bobby in his slenderized Bronco yanked me out, it was a hoot <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Jay,
the trailhead is about one hour's drive from Chattanooga, so perhaps the Georgia boys would like to visit there with us sometime while you'll be in the Atlanta area ... i'd be glad to work on possible dates, but it'll have to wait until after mid-October since i have an overseas business trip later this month into early next month ... talk it over and see when might be good
