[ClemsonCruiser]

Dude, I'll trade you the places you'll get to check out in the next 9 months for Cullowhee access for the same term...

yeah yeah you are right......... but there is just something about cullowhee, I grew up on the appalachians and they will always be my fondest retreat

Well its almost been a year and we are preparing to go again.

Any new advice would be great. Especially which of the roads are the gravel ones that make the in and out easier. (I kinda remember but need a refresher. (PM me or I can call you. I knwo I need to call JP as he offered to help as much as he could.)

We dont have a firm date set yet, but I will do my best to have a write up like this one.

Our #'s are down this year as several of the drivers from last year graduated or sold thier 4x4. So as of now we have 3-5 trucks and about 5-10 people. I will know more in the next few days as school starts back up tomm.

We are hoping to have shirts made and printed soon as well, I will try to post a design here if anyone is interested in some.

I cant wait to get back up there, still need to fit a few things from the last trip, but hope to have time to get the basics done b/f the trip.

I know this is old, but anyone have any information on the location of this place? I want to go but have no idea where it is/how to get there.
Does it still exist and is there possible a webpage where I could get more details?

Thanks!

Are there any other spots you know of around there? Or are they all being closed up as well?

Here's a map of the Nanthahala - Highlands District from the FS. If it ain't on this map then it ain't legal is basically what the FS told us.
