GA Weekly Getting Outdoors

No polls. Little pre-planning. Just get outside and invite some (internet) friends.

Who?
Your fellow TW or other off-road enthusiasts.

What?
Trail riding, hiking, camping, fishing, etc.

When?
Whenever you want to go!

Where?
Anywhere in GA (or nearby)!

Why?
Because we live close enough to make weekend trips to public outdoor land.

Why else?
Because not everyone can go on the same weekend.


Ok, so I was talking to @backcountryj around the upcoming (or technically on-going at the time of this post) https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/georgia-tw-march-1st-3rd-2019-camping-trip.582471/. As is typical with this sort of meet, a ton of people say they are "in" and several back out at the last minute. It's just the way it goes with internet organized off-road meetups.

Anyway, the lightbulb went off (or did it turn on?) and we had an idea. Why not have a thread dedicated to outings that take place the upcoming weekend? The idea is that anyone can join.

So, if you're heading out to do something this weekend and don't mind if people join you, post it here.

- OR -

If you have a free day this weekend and want to do something, you can check here to see if anyone else is doing something.

In for the shenanigans

 

Seat reserved.

 

down

 

Im here!

 

I'm down to get outside!

 

I like it

 

In! I'll add this and other threads to the main GA thread

 

Me and a buddy are planning a trip to Gulches ORV next weekend the 15th-17th. We will be camping in the park on one of the river side campsites. Camping spots have to be reserved in advance. Anyone interested in going?

 

That looks like it will be fun. The pics on Google only have 3 toyotas that I saw.

I'm thinking about heading up to the area around Helen that same weekend to hike to a couple of the falls with the family....well, maybe not. Need to find out if the trail is open. According to alltrails.com, it might be closed due to a broken bridge.

I do like that the note says it may be difficult for 2wd vehicles to get to the trailhead.

 

Dukes Creek Falls might be a good alternative.

Note: I'm in the stage of life that I have to consider difficulty level for 2 kids under 3.

Not exactly getting outdoors, but fits within the purpose of this thread.

My trip this weekend has been cancelled due to a sick kiddo. I may decide to try the ECGS bushing if anyone would like to join.

 

Great idea for this thread.

 

Anyone else available for April 13th weekend? Either going to go to Yota Mafia at the infield of Atlanta Motor Speedway and camp or going to go to the Smokey Mountain Overland event

The Smorally seems more my speed and desire with more like minded people.

 

My preference would be the rally event as well. Due to proximity and kids I’ll be looking at attending the concrete bro-feast between those two.

 

I haven't signed up for either- @Sprocket1505 what we thinking that weekend?

 

I may try to go to ATL Takeover. Undecided as of right now.

 

I’ll more than likely be at atl takeover. It’ll be my first time checking it out

 

I am down for one of these. I’ll bring the sandwiches and ice cream.
Which one is going to be a better event?

 

I’m open! I think I’ll be healed up by then.
