July 20th or 26th work for me to do rich mtn, although I would like to wait until after GSSE so I will have my rock rails!!
Anybody know when Rich Mtn will actually close? I would guess prior to GSSE in August so I suggest we jump on what might be our last chance...somtime in July.?.?

Yeah, I made it home. I went to home depot in dawsonville to pick up some nuts and then went home to rethread the top shock mount. It should hold until the Bilsteins arrive. Now, I just have to find some spring retainers :D...

Mickey D's @ 10:00 it is... Cell # 678 637-2000

I usually pack a cooler with a Sub, snack food, and couple of drinks just in case we don't stop.

Does anyone know the trails up there? Or are we going commando :D
Lookin' like Commando... ;)

Finley - Lets use Channel 4 on the CB. I've got another guy (Mike - 98TJ) who is coming from the 400 side and will be on that channel. Also, I'm meeting up with ITPROZJ at the Windy Hill and 75 exit, Bank of America @ 8...FYI.

eXcalibur will be meeting us at the lodge around 10-1030 in a YJ. I found him on the JU site looking for a ride this weekend. He said he may bring a friend in a TJ also.

I have never been to either trail but from what I have read anderson and amicalola are the same thing...

Can anyone confirm or deny this? I know how to get to the amicalola lodge-no big deal. From what I have read there are trails there, but some deadend and I cant find a map of them anywhere- maybe they will have one there.

The chick fila is about 20 mins from the lodge. I can meet there at 1000. I get off at 0900 and have to go home and get some things. What are we doing for lunch? I dont know the area once we leave the lodge???

Anybody wanting to meet at the chickfila----actually scratch that because they are closed on sunday. Lets make it the mcdonalds at 400 + 53.

My cell is 6782832801 and nextel 155*25400*5

to get to lodge-

GA 400 NB from atlanta
West on GA 53 in Dawsonville
Continue on GA 53 until you "fork" to right onto GA 183
Continue a few more miles and turn right on GA 52.
The entrance to the park is on the left, the lodge is at the top of the mountain.

Anybody have a map of the trails yet?

Bad news, fellas. Looks like I am gonna have to be out of town on Sunday and Monday so you better count me out. :cry:

Rafe-If you need directions to the Lodge e-mail me or call me.

Yall have a safe ride, have fun and take lots of pics! :thumbsup:
Harvey,

Sorry to hear you won't be joining us. My GPS can get me to the trail head but not sure about the lodge so if you could email me or something that would be cool.

Later,
Rafe

:eek: I drove over 4 hours to wheel at Rich Mountain last fall....and it was well worth the trip. Proof that if something like that were marketed properly, it could even bring in "out of state" dollars! like me! :lol: ;)

So I'll definitely send them an email.


As for sunday, it looks like i won't be able to make it...seeing that i'll have passengers and lots of luggage! :lol: Oh well! I'll sure be thinking of you guys and wishing i was there! Escpecially since i'll only be ~45 minutes away in Canton! :( be sure to take plenty of pics so i'll see what i've missed...

Looking forward to meeting all on Sunday...As for the Rich Mt closings, well, it appears to me that this may the "first step" in closing off the area to 4x4's and other motor vehicles. As I noted in my emails to the Federal folks, we need areas like this and we shouldn't have to travel to Alaska to see and use them. I hope that everyone will send them, the Feds, emails on this...traintrackker
