sounds pretty much perfect all around.



I noticed that - cool, but not practical for a family of four. Especially since it is well north of a grand.

you are more than welcome to check mine out and see what you think about the size.

cool thing about an RTT, you dont have to buy sleeping bags,[edit] I mean you dont have to buy the kids sleeping bags if they dont already have one[/edit] it has a mattress so you can make it up like a bed. I leave 2 sleepbags, 2 pillows, and 2 blankets in mine all the time, it makes it a little harder to zip up, but not enough of an added hassle to cut down on bedding. I would like to buy a dedicated comforter and some sheets to leave in there so i can take out the sleeping bags. it just hasnt happened yet.
 
Matt I had the same idea as you I need to slowly integrate the 3 kiddos into camping. Two of them have done the backyard thing and done well but the 2yo might be a handle.

I have the 18th marked on the calendar though so we will try to be there.

I hate that I have missed this entire thread. If it is the 18th, then I am going to try to make it with both kids (2yo, 4yo). I'll leave the PB at home b/c they would be happy eating hot dogs and grapes.
 
I'm still working on it but if I can make it that will make 11
 
Eleven?!

I am probably out for something in February. I have a busy month ahead with several prior commitments on the calendar.
 
For those that are serious about coming...

Considering the number children that are coming, as well as not knowing how much experience everyone has camping with children. Please post up how comfortable you are camping with your family in a secluded (primitive) area of the forest.

Also how many want to ride dirt roads and trails (there are no rough trials that I know of)?

There are a wide variety of options ( i.e. state park campground) and I want to accommodate the most people.

We are very comfortable in any setting. I want to ride some trails.

posted with my thumbs.
 
I would be game for that depending on the majority....
I'm not familiar with that part of the forest.. the talledega section I know pretty well.
 
I like the Choccolocco mtn idea it gets the hard core trails and the lite stuff in and a weekend pass includes camping. My wife is working that weekend so I am going to try and sweet talk my mom into keeping the 2 yo and then it willbe an easy weekend with only 2 kids. lol
 
I'd go to Chocco!
 
And Hardees can cook breafass!
 
I say we call it then chocco on the 18....
 
Sounds good to me. For those who have been before I was wondering about the trails will sliders, 33 terra grapplers and atrac work? I obviously am not going for hill climbs or the boat ramp but don't want to be stuck on gravel roads either.
 
I'm on worn 285s.... So I think I will be looking for the easy side of the mountain... It's surrounded by national forest.... If all else fails I have some really good forest road maps we can explore some..... I have heard that the dugger mtn area is less maintained than other parts of the forest..
 
With 33s you can drive up to any of the obstacles and take an easy road around. I have taken my 80 with 285s and lockers everywhere up there to watch. It's too nice to beat up.
