Since I completely Hi-jacked the Uwharrie thread . How about we try and plan a trip to Tellico for March '06? What do you think?

First or second weekend in March is usually when I go. I stay at Crawfords camp or Tellico Cabins(much closer). The nights are a little cold to camp trailside. Its usually nice wheelin weather but pretty unpredictable... I got hit with a snowing thunderstorm once up there, it went from 70 to 30 in under a half hour...and yes my top and doors were back at camp.

So you guys, and girls, have all winter to build and fix your H(x). If you are close enought, let me know if you need any fab work done... rock sliders, bumpers, etc.

Hopefully I will be able to make it. How are the cabins up there? Sounds like fun.

PARAGON 11-30-2005 08:32 PM

How far away is the Murphy Marriott.

JT 12-01-2005 12:10 AM

30-40 mins from the trail head. The Mt Vista Inn is closer and only like $40/night. It has a nice big parking lot too.

h2co-pilot 12-02-2005 02:04 AM

March sound good.

Paragon, you don't like to camp princess?

Cabins sound good, but I was liking the sound of that nice big parking lot.

KenP 12-05-2005 09:01 PM

Big parking lots are fun. Especially when the other guests are asleep.

Dude that does some work on my trucks just got back from Tellico with a group of built Heeps. The one that went up and down Lion's Back in 2wd and didn't know it.

I'll have to get with him, he'll shoot me straight on what trails are too easy for us to run and about how long it'll take to run the harder ones.

HIHUMMER 12-06-2005 06:45 PM

I'm a wus. Marriott please.

JT 12-07-2005 04:33 AM

We can go straight to slick rock or Upper 2 if you guys like.

Bring spare TRE's.

HIHUMMER 12-07-2005 02:24 PM

Well...I can tell you that I'm probably gonna be the weakest link,so anything too hard and I'm hitchin a ride with someone!!!

No one wants to leave with a busted up truck.

Then when it's dead the vultures scrounge the parts and make a new King-mobile.

Cool... Im glad to hear you guys arent completely stock, for the most part. Nothing says fun like seeing some front tires do this / \.

KenP 12-08-2005 04:07 PM

I forgot about that one.

JT 12-24-2005 12:12 AM

So who is deffinetly/most likely going? Ill be there with a small group...4 to 5 including me. We will stay at Tellico cabins. You hotel-ers can meet us in teh parking lot of the cabins every morning and we can all leave from there. Lets set a real date so we can start reserving cabins and hotel rooms(for the sissys) hehe.

Whats the vote? 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th weekend in march? I want to pick the weekend the most people can come and we can set the final date by the middle of Jan. Feel free to email me with any questions or give a definite in/out. Clemsonkrawler (at) Gmail (dot) com.

See you on the trails.

HIHUMMER 12-24-2005 02:49 AM

The 1st or 2nd week in March is best for me.

Hopefully I can have my mods done by then.

JT, do you think it might be possible to meet up with you in Clemson and just follow you?

ssgharkness020147 12-24-2005 12:12 PM

Hmmm. This sounds like fun. Keep me updated guys, as soon as I get my baby all fixed up (BIG this time . ) It'll be time to head out and break her again.

JT 12-24-2005 06:12 PM

Yeah following me up is no problem. Im driving my junk, so its gonna be a slow run. I geared my jeep for 40-42" tires and only run 38s for now. Shes gonna scoot off the line though. Woohoo.

So who votes second weekend? March 10,11,12th?

HIHUMMER 12-24-2005 09:43 PM

2nd week works for me!

alldunn 12-25-2005 12:29 AM

I may be coming too. I will know something more definite after Christmas. Depending on which way you guys go I may follow too. We can have ourselves a convoy.

HIHUMMER 01-09-2006 10:38 PM

Bump!

Just want to keep it on the radar!

RIC-H0 01-09-2006 11:00 PM

Hey...Depending on how a job offer goes, I may be joining y'all up there!
I guess I have to show y'all how us Texans Wheel!

JT 01-17-2006 01:56 AM
