Scheduled for August 11 (Yes that's a SUNDAY) will be a ride across the mountains north Georgia. This will be a family friendly daily driver event to include a start point at Amicalola Falls and return to the Dahlonega area at the end of the day for an early dinner. Typically there are short stops along the way for playing in mountain streams for the kids and packed lunches in the shade.

Please note that PIN STRIPING is possible so if you're worried about that new wax job (:eek:) you've been forewarned.

Meeting Location:: Amiclola Falls lodge parking lot by lodge (Top of the steep a$$ hill)


When: 10:00 AM Sunday Aug 11 (Departure Time)

Breakfast: 9:00ish at lodge if you want food

Bring a packed lunch and your own beverages for a stream side lunch for kids, wives whatever. Would also be a good idea to bring a camp chair.

Estimated completion is open ended, could be as early as 3:00 or as late as dinner time, your call!! Will wrap up the ride in the Dahlonegha area.

:bounce:PLEASE POST YOUR ATTENDANCE SO YOU'RE NOT LET BEHIND AT THE DEPARTURE TIME :bounce:

I may be in for this depending on the weekend and the start time.

The last time we did this we scheduled a departure time of 10:00 AM (I think) with the option of meeting at the lodge for bfast around 9:00.

Sunday Aug 11 is pretty much set.

I'm in, will be there for breakfast.

For those who don't have CB, bring a FRS radio if you have one. I'll have a couple of loaners if needed.

PM me if you have any specific questions.

I'll check the weekend schedule with the family and may be able to escape for a few hours. RJ, I'll keep you posted.
 
i dont think im gonna be able to make this trip. gotta fix my parking brake this weekend
 
Don't need a brake for this ;)
Wish we could make it. I would really like to get MH and Penny on a trail that MH would not continue to remind me that Penny is going to be our only ride in the PI. :lol:

Results of Event

Didn't get close to 10 am, completely forgot that there is no gas anywhere near the park. So I had to make a run to Ellijay and back. Every picture I took from the "road" was blurry except for a couple. It was great to meet everyone, the folks who left early missed the best trail. It was excellent and for an unmodified Land Cruiser, with basically highway tires, terrifying!! I am terrible with names, so the gentlemen with the 100 series, get your tag! Totally jealous of TFJ4runner and his setup. Brought my son with me, didn't know how that would go, but he loved the more exciting bits, hated the gravel (boring). He told me at least 50 times that I need a lift and some bigger rubber, he's 10 BTW. Very glad we didn't have to go back up that last descent, because there is no way I could have done it.

Glad it didn't rain, since I have a rust through in my cowling and my windshield wiper motor is acting up. Yesterday it would only work on high, today intermittent and low work and high is the same as low.
