The Trailblazers will be hosting the Summer Convention / Trail ride / buisness meeting for the Southern 4WD association in Mt. City, Tn this June. Many of you are not members of any club, I would like to encourage you to join a club that is a member of southern and come ride with us.
If you do here are some of the raffel prizes I have recieved or have been promised :
Big Daddy Off Road - Bumpers & Straps
4 Wheel Parts - 8000 lb winch, 2 $150 gift Certs, other stuff
Fabtech - $150 gift cert
Galloways - set of Super Swamper tires, prob 35"
O'riely Auto parts - $200 gift cert.
Others donating such as Tarheel 4WD, Just Jeeps and probably a couple I've been to busy to call as well.
In the mean time we need help clearing trails to get ready and would appreciate it any weekend that you have free between now and the 1st of June.
Thanks, and I will move this to Upcomming events in a few days.

I'm sure you would be welcome to attend and check out the SFWDA and it's member clubs. Of course the hope is that you would like what you see and decide to join one of the clubs and lend your support to our sport. BTW there is a late fee for registration after May 15th.

Didn't hit that area. Rode mostly in the orange/lavender area. Cleared some down trees and marked a few intersections. Beautiful day in the mountains. The one I'm talking about, you turn left off the grassy trail, about 100 yard semi rocky climb to a rock outcropping to the left, if you continue straight it goes back downhill to a large clearing. If you go left into the rock garden you climb to the top and then you can take a sharp right and com down a steep short hill to the clearing. The rock garden itself makes a loop like the top of a question mark around an outcroping and a few large trees. If you take an earlier left we cleared up some steep rock steps, both come out at the same place. Alternatively at the top you could continue straight on the ridge until you reach the end, approx 100 yds, and cut back down to the left and follow a flatter boulder garden back to the base of the rock garden.

I think all the riding is officially on Sat and Sunday but im sure there might be a few up on Friday. I went 2 years ago before my BIG-D ( and i dont mean Dallas ) :D and had a blast.
 
i was at callalante this past weekend and there is a new trail cut next to little tellico and it runs parallel with it. its real nasty. most of the rocks are the size of washers and dryers. i tried but i couldnt even get into the enterence :lol: :flipoff2:
 
yes i do believe the trail u mentioned is or was "illegal" but we wont tell on u since u didnt make it :p

Heading up Friday afternoon!!! Look for the Excursion and Camper (Riverside model)...

Hoping to take LOTS of pictures / write up something for one of the websites or mags! (May need a right seat if someone is going/has an open seat)

Are there enough trails for a full day of riding. I have seen pictures for Welder and Little Tellico. What kind of rock gardens are there how long are they?

Thanks, Troy
 
there are more than enuff trails for a full day of riding. welder is a really good trail and little tellico only takes a couple of minutes to do. the rockgarden that AORC cleared is crazy and steep and hard as hell to make it to the top. its about as long as the 3rd rock garden in crackers neck if you have ever been there.
