Tellico in late July/early August?

[HummerNewbie]

Wanted to start a thread to see who would be interested in going to Tellico in SC sometime in late July or early August. Based on what we learned from the last trip I would recommend arriving on Saturday, wheeling on Sunday and Monday, then leaving Tuesday. We can also look at renting some cabins that are near the trails or possible staying at a hotel near the state line entrance to the area. Tellico is located in Nantahala National Forest just north of Murphy, North Carolina on the Tennessee/North Carolina line. All I can say about Tellico is it was my first trip wheeling and I had an absolute blast so hopefully we can get a good group for this trip.

A brief writeup I found:

The Upper Tellico OHV Area is famous for some of the best 4x4 trail riding in all of America. It has something to challenge off-roaders of all experience levels. Trail names like Guardrail, Helicopter Pad, Slick Rock and School Bus all conjure up visions of adventurous steep hills and adrenaline pumping fun. The Upper Tellico Off-Road Vehicle Area is near the western end of North Carolina at Allan Gap (2850 feet elevation) just south of the Tennessee border in the Natahala National Forest . The closest town south is Murphy, North Carolina in Cherokee County. On the northwest end of this area is Tellico Plains Tennessee.

This high-elevation basin is formed by the Unicoi Mountains. Amid the high oaks and 8000 acres of rugged, steep terrain. lies the source of the Tellico River and its numerous feeder streams. The ORV area's vary in elevation from 2,500 feet on the Tellico River at the North Carolina-Tennessee border to nearly 4979 feet on Grassy Top Mountain. Eleven 4WD trails ranging from EASIEST to MOST DIFFICULT are clearly marked. Near stock Jeeps, SUVs and all-terrain four wheelers can have a great time on the easy to moderate trails. The harder stuff is usually pretty tough and it's quite common to see huge tires, custom stretched frames and high horsepower vehicles on these trails.
