3rd annual Black Mountain Fall meet.

Unless all hell breaks loose on closing on my house, I should be there.

Yes! Break us into smaller groups! LBL 17 was a cluster on Saturday with 40 trucks. And I was dripping wet behind the ears then.

 

Aside from stock size tires and no locker, put me in the built category.

We got to try a few hills

 

Maybe...

 

Stock

 

With lockers n gears

 

Stock for sure..

 

You guys are gonna get stuck with the slow pokes making these jokes

 

This makes me moist. Perfect camping weather.

 

Until the Appalachian and Blue Ridge's decide to just shit on us.

I believe the weather forecasts for about an hour lol. Past 2 days had no more than 20% chance of rain, rained every day about 3 o'clock for an hour.

 

In all seriousness, is there interest in running upper and lower rock garden, I'm down to go. I would love to run Lion's Den or Mason Jar but realize that might be a bit much.

 

I've never been to this park. I won't touch black trails though.
These blacks seem legit, unlike Rush's

 

never been, definitely want to go line it up and have a look

 

I mean, I'll drink beer and ride along, spot, or just generally observe. But I won't take my truck on a "rock crawl" until I get a locker and more armor

 

Upper and lower aren't bad, challenging but won't kill you. @slander handled them IFS on 33's with one locker. If you get into trouble, you can bail off pretty easily too.

The same cant be said for Mason Jar and Lion's Den. Once you commit, you are committed until you make it through in one piece or not. I've walked them on foot and thought better of it in the past.

 

Weve done some hard stuff, you dont know until you try if you try and fail, its better than not trying at all

trail 41 at AOP, is an "easier" black, trail 9 to 12 at Windrock, the 24 hour trail, was fun, but hard AF. would do again

 

As long as it doesn't get hotter I'm good

 

I'm just stock right now, this time next year should be a bit more built up!

 

I made it up Mason jar as well with that same truck on 33s.

What snowy did leave out though is I had dual cases which helps a ton, and my spotter was my friend who I have been wheeling with since I got into the hobby who I trust 1000%. It took us 45mins to do the entire rock garden without rock stacking, pretty sure everyone on the mountain stuck behind us wanted to kill us LOL!

I still need to conquer white tail crawl, that trail denied me by flopping me on my side 10ft from the end of the first rocky hill on that same trip!

 

I'm encouraging questionable behavior....We were not very popular that day with two breaks within 10 feet of each other.

The gardens are challenging but not unmakable on IFS, especially if you have an auto, lockers and armor.

I've got a beef with White Tail too...that thing denied the shit out of me last time I was there. It looks super easy too is the killer.
