The USFS has issued a proposed temporary closure notice prohibiting all use of the Upper Tellico OHV system effective April 1, 2009.

REPAIRING THE AREA IS THE BEST SOLUTION:
o OHV enthusiasts spend 4 times more money on lodging, food, and gas than other outdoor sportsmen
o $4.8 million annually in tourism revenues by OHV users
o Repairing contributes $1.5 - $2.6 million in OHV revenue annually
o Repairing would create more than $1.4 million in local jobs
o Nearby streams are currently healthy
o Nearby streams have excellent water quality per North Carolina standards
o Nearby streams are capable of sustaining viable, reproducing native trout populations
o Nearby stream channels are very stable
o Nearby stream channels convey stream flows without streambed erosion
o The trails are repairable and very much maintainable/sustainable after repair

CLOSURE IS A BAD SOLUTION:
o Closure creates ZERO OHV tourism revenue
o Degradation of water quality and degradation of aquatic habitat in Upper Tellico is non-existent
o Historic clear-cutting of land in Upper Tellico has contributed more to the off-site sediment transport than the trail system
o Closure of trails is neither warranted nor recommended by USFS trails experts!

UPDATE:

The FJ62 is now in the body shop for a major face lift, Thanks ANH Collision. We've received some great donations to include 33" tires from BFG, new rebuilt and installed transmission from ACC in Atlanta, various other parts and components to include an off road bumper, winch, recovery kit, Hi-lift Jack etc... The list is too long, details can be found on the web page:

Yep, got your order a couple months ago, thanks!! Dec 5th is the raffle conclusion so you'd better get more tickets soon if you want 'em.

I don't know for sure but I think we're hot on the heels of the Jeep guys that raffled a Wagoneer a few weeks ago, keep the ticket sales a' comin'. We can't loose to a Jeep!

Hey Wood-- Can you shoot me a couple small white MUD stickers for the truck, got 2 spots all picked out for 'em. Still have my address?

Quick little update: Springs and sliders went on today.

Truck now has OME heavies w/ about 2-3" of lift and a set of Solid Rock Offroad sliders.
