Chestnut Mountain Road Runs

That was @Glasskenny and me.

I'm ready to hit it up again soon when you're ready to try!

 

It was badass!! most fun I'd had in a long time. Sucks there was someone camping there. I wanted to chill and maybe swim over to that island on the right.

And they showed a.... C'mon, the suspense is killing me!

 

Had a Blast man and I did find one tick lol but definitely gonna go back soon to get that spot to do some swimming and fishing we’ll take our first gens then hopefully mines ready by then!

 

Glad y’all had fun!! I definitely want to get back and explore more spurs. Hopefully I’ll be in town next time you guys go!

 

.....showed a house and garage that was under construction up in Pickens that got blown over from the storms.

 

Oh, damn.

Another good one.

I have a question though. Is that in fact "Auger Hole" trail that we were on? I thought Auger Hole was a spur off the main line and it was gated. I thought we past it?

While on the spur to the lake I just noticed in one of my videos, at the bottom left it said we were actually on Auger Hole trail.

 

Auger Hole is that hard switchback right at the bottom of the steep hill where you hit Turkey Pen Gap. There are usually two other gated trails there, one straight ahead, and another back to the left.

 

There is also an Auger Hole hiking trail. I've been told GPS is sketchy in there at best, so maybe it got confused.

 

Cool. I also found this Great vid that I will post in the MG thread. He shows the area at hunt camp 6, the farthest that I've been.

Apparently there is lake access from hunt camp 5. I think we need 5-6 trucks and start doing an annual weekend camping trip in the fall.https://youtu.be/b_GoRdTFBLA

 

I would definitely be down.

What's the deets on your 1st gen?
What's wrong with it and how long is it
going to be in the shop?

 

I was hoping it wouldn’t be in the shop long but it might be a while needs a rebuild or new motor so haven’t heard back from my mechanic yet on what we plan to do yet might be a couple weeks

 

But I can always take my 3rd gen if you decide to take your Perunner

 

I wish we knew someone with a boat that could check that landing b4 we headed down there. I totally want to camp there overnite and swim/fish.

That island off to the right with the sand bar that those girls were at, looked awesome!

 

Me and the wife want to get out there with our kayaks.

 

Wife and I paddled over to this waterfall and swam around. Highly recommend! https://goo.gl/maps/K5t5roYmTp1jRAFz6

 

Update on my first gen so my mechanic got confused on vehicles when he called me since he has a lot of work going on but my 1st gen will be done tomorrow has a broken valve spring in the passenger side head shell be good to go tomorrow
