Coppinger Cove Wheeling Trip! September 25-27

Its an easy ride but they are a few rough spots, not sure if I will have a empty seat or not just yet

 

Well, I called the training center to reserve a spot and the lady said we don't have to make reservations to primitive camp, only for cabins. We are just going to pitch a tent in the primitive area and use the showers before we head out the next morning. Can't wait!

 

Nice

 

So you gonna lead the pack? We got a 2wd coming with us too, so we'll see how that goes!

 

sure thing! And nice, just wanna make sure we keep a winch on both sides of him!

 

I don't mind winching out folks if needed or pulling them through. Been there done that a few times. Just glad to see people using their rigs.

Where are we camping Sat night? I saw mention of Trials center and the trail.

 

Ain’t gonna need to winch me, I’m getting through on my own. Y’all just wait

 

Enough skinny pedal and testicular fortitude will get a 2wd places I refuse to go with my 4wd

 

4wd is just a less bumpy way to go offroad lol

 

Haha! Did you get a chance to talk to Chad yet?

 

I called and left him a message, hoping he can do it sometime this week!

 

Good deal! Like I said, he's in the middle of moving, so he may be tied up. I hope he can get to you before the Coppinger trip!

 

some are camping at the trials center and some(myself) are setting up on the trail! Take your pick

 

wait how big is this place? Are we gonna have enough time to drive back after wheeling all day to the center?

 

One of the times I went it was an 8 hour drive from the beginning to the cave then to the end, stopping for lunch for an hour with 30 rigs. It all depends on the condition of the trail.

Another time, it took me 3 hours to lead 3 people out of the trail from the cave to one of the entrances, and 45 minutes to get back.

I know that doesn’t give much clarification but it all depends on how the trail is, how much hanging out we do, and how much unstucking we do I prepare for this place like I do Windrock, anything can happen haha

My thoughts are to meet at the church off Coppinger Cove rd Saturday say 9 AM, wheel to the cave, then depending on what time it is and what everyone else wants to do, we can keep pushing ahead up the mountain, or we can call the cave camp, or we can find a camp site near the creek and hang out for the remainder of the day. I don’t have a set itinerary for anything, I’m up for whatever the general consensus of the group is!

 

I think it would be easier to camp out on the trail Sat night. I might camp at the center on Friday though

 

Sounds good to me. I'll camp where ever yall are camping, we can rough it!

 

Challenge accepted

 

Still camping at the training center
