I will prob be in for this with about 10 more rigs.

A few of my friends and I, along with their rigs are wanting to make the drive up from Jacksonville for this.
I have never been to Tellico, and I really dont think they have either.
Is there anything we should probably know before coming up?
Also, how hard is it gonna be to find a place to stay? It sounds so far like there will be a very large turnout. We are all in the military, so it is pretty hard for us to plan this far in advance, but we are trying to.

Trail 1 can be done in a stock 2wd truck. Some of the other trails require full on buggy. Just make sure everything is fixed before you come and bring spares.

With atleast 31" tires and atleast one winch in the group you can have a good time in tellico. I dont think I could make it up upper 2 on 31's even with lockers...I cant wait to try guardrail on 31's.

There are lots of motels in Murphy and Blue Ridge. Theres going to be plenty of camping room at Crawfords camp group and there are plans in the works for over flow camping elsewhere.

I'll probably have 4 of my own jeeps in Murphy that weekend...and the shop truck...

Surprisingly little activity on this thread. I'll be there, with at least a few others.

Wish you guys could do it another weekend there will be alot of people that can't make it because they will be in Harlan. :confused:

Sorry it is the same weekend, it's just because it was opening weekend at Tellico.
Many details are still being worked out. Thank you for the support everyone.

Best Western will be giving SAVE TELLICO Spring Fling discounts.

I'm down for this.

About Harlan,If you are talking about Trailfest it is May 2-4 and this is April 3-5.

There is a big Toyota crawl at Harlan 4/5 weekend. And CAOS has something on the schedule at Greyrock.

I'm sorry to all who choose to go to the other event's we'll think about you. But this is too important to myself and Helen and Danny.

Helen,
I will call you tomorrow (i hope and book a Cabin).
EVERYBODY THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHOW ALL WHO WE REALLY ARE!!! If we do not stand together this time we will surely fall.
The money will be brought to Murphy and all.
Let us know how we can help. Ill post on other boards too.

well it sounds like we are gonna have a good turn out, i cant wait. myself and several of my friends will be there, i have also posted on several other boards so we should have a great turn out.

We are going to be getting into Crawfords camp on Saturday the 5th. Looks like we are going to be missing most of the action.

stay tuned...I think you'll be surprised. Oh, and drive faster....

I'm putting money back to go and support. I have only got to drive Telico once... dont want it to be the last.

Definitely be there!

i got my cabin reserved like monday. cant wait to go!!!

I am going to try to be there with as many people as possible. Been to Tellico once and loved it, can't imagine such an awesome place getting shut down. Look forward to seeing everyone and spending some money to show the town of Murphy that the off road community is out there and we are every bit as important if not more important than the fishermen.

Crawfords cabins are booked. I emailed Helen Monday, Wednesday, and again today, but no reply. I called and got no answer or any way to leave a msg. I'm guessing she is already booked also. I think there are a few other cabins around also.

I was emailing to the wrong email.

Contact Helen at:
tellicocabins@yahoo.com
Yes, we are booked.

do not use helen@tellicocabins

Never Monday can you please change that on the post.

No need to RSVP we are expecting a great turn out.

Talked to the local Yamaha dealership. Looks like they'll be out to support Tellico and OHV use. They do a lot of education for ATV'ers so it would be good to have them.

Do rigs need to be street legal for the parade and events on Saturday? If so, then define street legal for us.

Is the show and shine for "rigs" only?


Regardless, I'll be there to support the cause.

Is the show and shine for "rigs" only?

You can enter your g/f, mistress, sister, etc... as long as she's hot.

Show and shine will be for 4WD off road vehicles. You can trailer to town and unload for show and shine. Everyone is welcome! We need as many vehicles and people downtown Sat 9 a.m.. April 5th.
We will have schedule posted soon.

or puts out :flipoff2:

Hope to have mine finished and will have to put in to be of work.:D

i would really like to see some real aftermarket vender suppport for something like this, and some of those offroad shows like xtreme4x4 and what ever else is out there.

I'll be there in my baby '84 Yota. Bringing as many other rigs as I can round up. Calling Danny today to get a site.

i would really like to see some real aftermarket vender suppport for something like this, and some of those offroad shows like xtreme4x4 and what ever else is out there.

maybe somebody should email the Extreme 4x4 guys and drop a hint.... if we dont tell them, they wont know.


Ya know..... This should become an annual thing. As a biker I have Daytona, Myrtle Beach, Sturgis, and so on..... every year I can go, and probably run into friends from the year before...... But with off road you have what??? Jeep Jamborees that change location each year,?

We could make this into a 4x4 rally, like with motorcycles, and every year we can go back. It will blow up eventually, with all kinds of vendors, magazine coverage, and so on.

Just a thought.

Crawl is on board, and word will be in Ian's ear in the next week. We have a connection who will be on the set of HP TV and talk to them.

i'll be watchin this and try to make it

Will there be a place to park trailers and tow rigs if you trailer a rig to the show and shine in town?

Will there be a place to park trailers and tow rigs if you trailer a rig to the show and shine in town?

don't have that answer yet...but It will be addressed. Danny and Helen are going to go before the city council and get the street first. Stay tuned.

im glad to see someone had some connections so we can get the word out there. is there gonna be any tv stations covering it? and what about some radio station, i know around here they bring out a truck and do live feeds.

we'll be there unless the baby comes early...:smokin:

This was brought up at our clubs last meeting, concern about the trails being open. Will the trail system that we are still allowed to use be open for riding during this event? No one was sure when they would open.

The trails are scheduled to open April 1. Your welcome to trail ride any time. We just ask that you try to be in town Saturday morning.
We're not planning any organized trail rides. All will be ad-hoc.

im hoping my jeep is done by the time it comes im going with some other rigs
looking forward to it:grinpimp:

We hope to have a good group from the Palmetto Krawlers.

I'm on call that week but may be able to snag an air card to use if paged. If so I'll be there.

Im there. no doubt about it.

Im there. no doubt about it.

as long as I dont have a catastrophic failure between now and then.

Well then, just take it easy...

Regarding first post, anyone have a quick link to Ian's email at Xtreme 4X4?

Im gonna go hunt it up and post it right now, so maybe we can update it in the first post in a hope to get them to cover the event....

Looks like its just info@xtreme4x4tv.com

Send in those emails, and lets see if we can get them out to cover the event.

just sent my email to xtreme!!!!

any new updates

im looking forward to this very important event.

sent my email to.

"I just left the Mayors office and he was very pleased with the event and even stated that he would not have any issues with having the Show and Shine in the middle of town. He even suggested shutting down Tennessee Street for the vehicles to set up. This was a very unexpected and positive with the Mayor. I still have to go in front of the City Commission in Feb to set the date and times, but he said he would be able to sell this to the commission for us. So, things are moving in the right direction for this event."


Did you meet with City Commission? So is there a parade or just the show and shine? What street?(Tennesse) What time? What about trailer parking? Think Wal-Mart would mind the trailers?

The city council will not let us have the show and shine downtown.
It will be at the Save-a-lot

Okay - looking at the flyer, redisigning slightly to pass out to some of the 4WD groups around here....

If I understand this correctly, for the BBQ and Band at Crawfords, it costs $10 per person to get INTO the event and buy a raffle ticket, and then it is another $10 for the BBQ dinner, is that right?

It is 10.00 to get into the event at Crawford's, you get 1 raffle ticket with that, (you can buy more), live band.
BBQ Dinner is 10.00 pp. Saturday
Friday bring a dish for pot luck.

The flyer on my web page is updated.

I live here, so I can point you in the right direction for pretty much anything. Plus one of my buddies is a Cherokee guy and owns Blue Ridge 4x4, so I'm sure you could ride with him too... Although he is known as the "bolt on guy" because he got sick of doing fab.
You're a mil guy too aren't you?

Sure am. USMC. I'll definately have to meet up with you when we get there.

You sure about that?

Tellico might not be totally open this weekend becasue of the rain that is predicted most of the week. Has anyone contacted the local Rangers to check on this yet?

I'm with the GBR and we are a Adopt a trail club for Beasley knob. BN is often closed for a day or two after heavy or long duration rain to let the trails dry out to help prevent rutting and siltation.

Is Tellico going to do the same? I would think they may take the same management approach since so far this seasonal closure is exactly the same way they are managing BN. This is becoming the standard deal with the FS.

I do plan to show my support and attend the events regardless. Look forward to seeing the crowds.

I'll be there, I'm also look'n for a group to tag along with.
All my buddy's backed out on me.

well guys i just got home a couple hours ago, man it was fun but nasty weather. friday we ran trail four to trail 5 on to trail 6 and looped back down four. there was a nasty rock on the upper part of trail four with a dip right on the ledge of the cliff , my left rear wheel came about a foot and half off the ground and i had to take a differnt line to get around that spot, but that spot is dangerous!

saturday we woke up to find out some guys that were suppose to meet up at the cabin late that night got lost and showed up at about 10:30am , about that time the 4runner in our group brake his detroit locker on the rock garden at crawfords , so he was done for the day. so we went toward trail 4 cause we had a pretty much stock and slightly lifted tj with us and he proceeded to break both engine mounts, so he was done for the day! but we proceed up trail 4 with a group from ohio, this was a nice group of guys and turned out to be the most helpful guys i have ever met on the trails. well we all made it to guard rail and it was nasty, the bypass was so rutted out only a few made it up with out a winch. i myself proceeded to snap a drivers ujoint trying to make it up the bypass. but the guys that i dont even remember their name but ill tell you are the best in my book, the broke out the tools and air guns and went at it, i had my new axle in and ready to go in about 25 minutes.
we then proceeded to helicoptor pad and down school bus , it had about a foot of mud on it and we slide and bouced all the way down.

sunday was pretty much a short run on upper 2 to a really bad ledge and we turned around since we were alone and we back to the cabin and headed home. even with it raining i had a awsome weekend !!!!

heres some of the few pics i did take.

my group before the broken parts list started!

Id like to thank all of those who showed up to help support save Tellico... also thanks for your patience with us during the rock crawl comp at Crawfords.. It was a wet slippery mess and Clayton made a great course, A little hard for the wet but it was fun watching and trying to drive through.
gabe

Gabe, had a great time with you guys. You guys definitely have a great group of guys in your club. Thanks again to you, Steve, Bill, Clayton and Justin for a great ride Sunday. I got some sweet pics and video. Some that are wallpaper worthy I think.

I just got photobucket going and it only let me have a limited number of pics. Here's what I got for the weekend. There's more but refer to the first sentence :shaking:

Just pause the video you are watching, and then hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. It is above the Num Lock.

Then I paste that image into Paint and save it.
Easy and effective

I've treid that before and it didn't work with Media Player. I'll give it another shot.

we left out thurs. for the save tellico spring fling. we had a great time wheeling all day friday. the next day, sat. morning show & shine 4x4 show in the center town of murphy ,then had a rock crawl competition on sat. at crawfords campground , along with a huge barbecue supper with several door prizes and raffles donated by several vendors. even with the rain we had a huge turn out.

Hey man, we noticed that after we flipped you back over, you kept stalling. Did it cause problems all the way down Schoolbus?

Guys, we enjoyed hosting the Show N' Shine. Thanks for coming out!

We enjoyed Tellico this weekend even if it was a sloppy mess. The bypass at Guardrail was dug out like nuts and everyone was winching. Going down Pinchrock and Schoolbus was "Hang On, Nuetral and Ebrake". Repairing axle breakage at the top of Pinchrock in the rain and mud was worse, but we'd do it all again.

That looks like a sloppy mess! Good thing it's open again though.

Don't remember having any stalling problems. It must have went away pretty quick. It did great on schoolbus and even went up upper two without a cable.

Ok, I thought I kept hearing on the CB that a buggy was having stalling problems and it was the only buggy around as far as I knew. Thats good it wasnt you. Of course, my radio picks up a LOOOONG way.

Hey khwrxj, that's some of my buddies from Columbus of the Rowdy Jeepers. That is Jake in the Black TJ and that is Jason bent over looking at your axle. I was supposed to be down there with them, but couldn't make it this time. They are a great group of guys, glad you got to meet them. Glad you had a good time and from the limited time that I talked to them they did too. Nice pics too everyone, keep them coming.

For everyone who didn't come out and support Tellico...

As has been said SLOPPY MESS.
Had to winch out of the Gaurdrail Bypass, sloppy, and dug out like nothing else.

Also had a tough time climbing the heli pad bypass to the left, SLICK and sloppy.

Good time though!!

Thanks to all who came out, and thanks to All who helped make this possible and put this event on for us!!

Well, I never made it Sat. Lost it on a wet curve on a detour, slammed off a grassy hill and laid it down in Blue Ridge, GA. Short story, I drove it home. I'm fine. Jeep may be a total because of Unibody. Keep ya posted. NO that is NOT me in the pics, but it's my Jeep and I was alone.

thats the coolest kid ive ever seen:D

Not at all. :p I had the OD off and was going not fast at all. I wasn't late or in a hurry. It started to skid and the hill didn't help. If it had been just a shoulder or small ditch I would have been ok. An unfamiliar road, dark, rain, some mud and it being lifted didn't help.

There were a couple of wrecks in Blue Ridge this weekend. One guy looked like he slid through the red light at ingles pulling a trooper on a trailer befind him and hit someone head one. They must have been fine because I seen him saterday at crawfords.

Your story sucks. I would have said I was getting road head from 5 strippers I picked up a ways back and lost my concentration :flipoff2:

You were the roll over north of Blue ridge off hwy 60? Nice! people were cursing you and the house fire in Mineral bluff that caused the detour all day. :flipoff2:

Glad I got a late start and missed both.

Hopefully it wasn't to much damage. Sucks that it happend.

[the old man in me] Slow fawking down kid. Nobody else lost it. You were driving too fast for conditions! :laughing:

Black SAS trooper? Had to be Larry from Damn Locals. Saw him there but didn't have a chance to talk to him.

It was being pulled by a yellow Dodge with a camper on the back of it.

That was Bones, towing Joe Isuzu. He told me about his wreck.

As for the other accident, I passed you guys and offered to help, to his defense that road was really winding and had some really sharp curves that were very deceptive.

Actually, Vince is not a kid. He is in his 40's or 50's.

I hate it when my arms get crossed up, and my spill my beer.

I really thought I wasn't going that fast since I had already did a couple curves and had the OD off. I'm 55, but I don't feel as young as I use to since my accident at the railroad, but still a kid at heart. :p

Still no word on my Jeep. Still looking for a "new" DD.
