Durhamtown Tellico Ride...

[ghost]

I'm meeting a couple guys from NAXJA there this weekend. Staying at Crawford's. Anyone else plan on going this weekend?

We are going up 4 th of July let me know what you think of it

I went up there and like it a lot. Especially with it only being about 5 hours vs 8 to Harlan. I love Harlan but DT I think will provide some nice challenge close to home! I encourage everyone to go and form their own onion but I loved it. I didn't even get to put my tires on any decent trails but I saw enough to know with time and people on the trails it will rival the old Tellico IF they let it.

When is the actual ride? I haven't been on Naxja in forever. The 3rd is my birthday so you better bring a cupcake and 38 candles.

Right now every one except Ga Mike either has to work or may not go. Mike comes up Saturday morning and we are ridding Saturday and Sunday. Camping at Crawford's. So it's more of a couple NAXJA guys checking it out. You camp or just the day Jody?

 

[Jody Treadway]

I could ride up Saturday a.m. or camp Friday night. Either would potentially work for me.

Ok I'll be there after I meet with Andy and buy him a beer and dinner in Hayesville about 6:00 Friday. He's got a tie rod I have to put on at some point he built for me. I'll shoot you my number and if you come up Friday you can let me know.

Had a great weekend. Enjoyed it and will be returning as often as I can. There is so much to see that we still have not seen.....

Now for pictures!

Buzzard's Roost Overlook:




Plane Crash:





My friend GAMike in his YJ:





Elevator Shaft:



Steep and rutted at the bottom and covered with loos dirt. Needs to get worked in.

Dozer Slide I believe.



Lots of rocks here but need to be uncovered by trail traffic to be really exciting.

The obstacle:



Have to give a shout out to Joe and the staff at Clemson 4 Wheel Drive. I had called in the am before leaving and planned on getting a new solenoid for the winch. At 5:30 I was 30 minutes out and called them to have them ship it to the house. Joe took my card number and offered to meet me somewhere if they were not still there. They ended up still being there and I was able to get the solenoid so I would be able to power out the winch. Thanks guys!

Also suggestions for windshield replacement? We saw three rock buggy looking rigs going up the mountain Monday. Anyone know who it was or what they ran? Or were they form the area and returning from the Flats?
