Place looks neat, just not worth the drive for me.

There is that group on FB called Georgia Who's Riding Where? And they go hit the same Bell, Dodd, Charlies, Dicks, Trey every weekend. They don't like to be called out for illegal wheeling on other roads and don't like to be confronted about taking huge groups of Jeeps up these roads every single weekend which isnt great for the land.


My guess is torque, it has flexed more in my back yard on a 3 1/2 foot hill.
It is a good place but is a long ride for only about 30 min's of wheeling. A YJ on 32's was our guide & he had no problem making it thru any of it. But I destroyed my front locker.
In my opinion FB is for girls & to stay in contact with distant family. I am
a advocate for legal wheeling that's why I was asking if the PB Hole at Aetna was open to the public.

It looks fine other than the chip out of it. LOL.It was a noisy ride home. I changed the fluid less than 3K miles ago but it was black when I opened it up. Had lots of metal flakes.

we rode the creek bed yesterday. It is one of the coolest trails on the mountain in my opinion. I went with my buddy and this other dude that I don't know. Dustin Allen wound up helping us get the white jeep unstuck, that's what took all day. We just pulled axle out of my buddies jeep so it wouldn't take out the ball joints. I wound up pulling the white jeep off.

Went down to "rock creek" yesterday and attempted the creek bed trail, made it about 100 yards in before I decided its not something I want to do solo or without a winch.
Managed to dent in back driver side door after slipping off a rock into a tree...

Id say 33s are probably not enough for that trail unless no ****s are given

Sounds like palmetto crossing at gulches or carnage canyon at Chocco. Damn I want to go to gulches for the Labor Day ride even though it will be busy as hell.

Meh, the lines will be so long it won't be much fun.

Plus, I think we're going to try to go camping that weekend. (If I can find an empty campsite somewhere.)

Go camp at your old house.

Yeah, I know it will be busy as hell. I'll be ready to go wheeling by the time October comes around.

I was wanting to go camping up in NC near Sliding rock but it looks like that might be out of the question. According to NC Rec. every campsite in NC is booked up. lol I hate not having public land to camp wherever the hell I want to...

What's in the area for the kids to do? I'm looking for a lake, or a river or a waterfall or something.

We were going to Brevard, NC to camp near sliding rock.

Let me look on the computer when I get home. I went to camp tons of places when I was in scouts I just don't remember a lot of names off the top of my head. Ammicalola falls is real nice.
