    I'll be talking to Skip Monday and Wednesday. I know I'm off Thursday through Sunday. If Gulches is a go, I might only do Friday - Sunday though. I need a day off for myself.

    Have you been to AOP?

    ^^This. Great place. They even have a dirt track for trucks which is one of my favorite parts (especially with the new Fox suspension I wanted tested out)

    I have already started coordinating with AOP since I know it has PLENTY of space for everyone that would want to come. They can accommodate us, no issue. Im working on a price deal to match the Gulches----> 40$ per vehicle from thursday (for those that are showing early) through sunday. They are having a race on the mountain saturday which wouldnt be a bad thing to check out/stay out of the way of haha. only select trails are being ran for the race so we can all still wheel). I am waiting for the final word but the day manager seemed all about it. I did say that nothing was in stone about AOP but that we were just planning contingencies so we are not locked in to this by any means. BUT I have been there within the past 7 months and its an awesome place. Has running water, bathrooms, a huge pavilion and fridge/freezer for ice (IIRC). Those that would travel would have a worth while trip with out a doubt.

    If other people are in, I personally will commit to heading here as a back up. They said they would be open rain or shine, no matter what.

    EDIT: And 2wd is welcome, just dont plan on making it to all the spots haha

    This is just to show some relative scale. Address: 1040 Ellis Cove Rd, South Pittsburg, TN 37380

    Its jeeps, but its the most current. The vid shows a pretty good spectrum from low to high (and doesnt show any of the peak stuff that AOP has to offer).
