Looks like Me/Jess/Kraig will definitely be riding up.
Hopefully we'll have some parts and can get James back together in time.
May also have two others hauling up, won't know till later in the week for sure.

James

I will be in Florida but I will make it up there sometime soon.

Wes in TN · 08-27-2007, 06:26 PM

How much to ride? Directions?

250cows · 08-28-2007, 05:27 AM

I don't charge anything to ride, but I'm not beyond taking a donation if you like what you ride (more carnage - more money). We're about 1hr. NE of Knoxville. Call me for detailed directions at 423-300-9146.

TNRanger · 08-28-2007, 09:41 AM

Hey Jeff, Other than Draggin my trailer for about 150 yards or so in a switchback; 31 was MUCH quicker with no tough turns for me.

250cows · 08-28-2007, 10:37 AM

Good deal, have you got James jeep fixed? How many are coming with you?

TNRanger · 08-28-2007, 09:54 PM

james is a no. He had to go up to chicago last week and work after all those storms. He still isn't back.

Looks like right now for sure: 4 rigs. I haven't checked with Jeff in Johnson City this week, but he was pretty sure he was coming. So likely 5.

250cows · 08-29-2007, 03:36 AM

That will put us at 15. Be there at 9:00, ride by 9:30. We've got Kelly's big jeep in the garage, and pulled the Stak Box last night - transmission bolts were all stripped, should get it back in a night or two.

Is Chris going?

TNRanger · 08-29-2007, 03:13 PM

Funny you asked that less than an hour before I called and told you

Nope, Wes, you are 1 of the 4.

Me, you, Jess, Kraig.

I tried callin Jeff in JC, we'll see what he says when he calls me back.

then he definitely needs a buggy

Hope u guys get it back together and have a great ride- I emailed Kelly and told him we'd miss this ride because of upcoming competition in Texas. Would like to ride w/ later on though...

250cows · 08-30-2007, 05:18 AM

Got Kelly's jeep back together last night -- he is ready. Let me know we you guys can come.

Wes in TN · 08-30-2007, 12:01 PM

Is this place pretty open? Sounds like a pretty good crowd showing up, will there be long lines on obstacles/trails?

biggin · 08-30-2007, 01:01 PM

there are so many lines and so many obsticles you wont have to wait any. Last time i was there, there was 14 rigs and nobody was waiting around to hit something inpaticular. if somebody was on an obsticle, you could just hit something right next to it or something on the otherside of it. You cant turn around without finding a hardcore obsticle.

250cows · 08-30-2007, 01:09 PM

It's pretty much a follow the leader, get out and watch others kinda deal -- it's a constant obstacle the whole way

vatoy86 · 08-30-2007, 03:43 PM

Jeff, What are we gonna do if it rains? ride or cancel? Brent

250cows · 08-30-2007, 06:03 PM

MUD BOG and have a Slip & Slide!! It's so dry here that I would be glad to wheel in the rain -- they're only giving 20%.

jesster · 08-31-2007, 09:55 AM

Going home to work on my Jeep, and fix a crushed shackle hanger from the last Sneedville trip.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Jesse

TNRanger · 09-02-2007, 07:26 PM

Awesome ride as expected.(even if I did break) I still managed to make it up two obstacles I didn't get to last time and only wheeled 6 hrs. Thanks again Jeff! We really do appreciate you and David providing us with such a great place to ride no matter how close it is to home. I'd gladly drive a day to wheel a place like this folks. If you've not made it up there yet, you NEED to!
