GA Weekly Getting Outdoors

Good morning everybody. Is anyone looking to get out tomorrow I got to do a little shakedown ride on my new wheels and tires

 

Where is this trail? It looks fun

 

Looking like myself, @Gen2Tacoma and @FirstGenTundra are hitting hurricane creek on Tuesday if anyone is interested.

 

It’s in the Cherokee National Forest, in Suches just outside of the Cohutta Wilderness area. Definitely worth a day trip to explore.

Easily one of my favorite trails here in the SE. Has a little bit of everything from a wheeling perspective and the views it leads you to are magnificent. Hate I can’t make it.

 

I currently may have the virus. I was coughing on Tuesday at work so my manager sent me to get tested just in case. So currently I just have myself quarintened at home. If I get results before Tuesday I'd definitely be up for a trail run.

 

You must stay in your truck on the ride lol

 

No worries. I'm not going anywhere until I'm cleared.

 

This.

 

See the entrance sign at the bottom of this thread. Have to be registered NC Vehicle? @CowboyTaco @FirstGenTundra

I just spoke to someone that ran it last month. He says he saw gates but none were closed and he didn't have any issues running it. I remember this being discussed at the beginning of 2020 but it seems nothing has come of it. I did hear they might close it in Jan/Feb because we get so much rain that they were trying to keep the road from getting rutted out.

Also, looks like some Jeepers just ran it yesterday. Our biggest issue may be downed trees. Anyone have a chainsaw they can bring?

 

The road closes January 2nd.

I have a newer poulan which sucks as it won't stay running but about 5 minutes and dies. (It starts great) But I'll through it in the back of the truck none the less. Hoping they cleared them all out. Just wondering about ICE myself.

 

Hurricane gap is a different road, up by Hot Springs NC.

 

Lol. Same.

I have the tool to adjust the carb. Should help.

 

Very Cool you still in? We haven't set a t time yet....I think peeps are jonzing for a time? @banditcamp @Built2Ride @FirstGenTundra and anyone else I might have missed. @CowboyTaco I'm looking to follow you I can leave at whatever time works for you?
