Be sure to ask Santa for warm britches, 'cause Upstate Cruisers is going on an ice-breaker run over MLK weekend. We will start where we left off the Georgia Traverse route last year and continue on the northern loop that goes into Tennessee. Last year's trip thread: Georgia Traverse - Feb 2-4

Same as before, this is more an exploration trip than simple drive. Wrong turns, downed trees, closed gates, etc. may force changes to the plan. I will be monitoring forest service information for any announcements that may impact the trip (for example, Dick's Creek, which comprised a significant section of last year's trip, has been closed). Any stops will be done as-needed and camp sites will be determined as available. I would call it overlanding, but we don't have any patches. :D

All participants should be self-sufficient for food, fuel, comfort, etc. The club will provide some food; details to come. We will need at least one chainsaw, so please post if you are bringing one.

This year the club is also asking for signup payments for planned club rides. Proceeds will go towards event needs such as propane, food, campground fees if applicable, etc, and all participants will receive an event sticker. Paypal info@upstatecruisers.com or PM if alternate means are needed to hold your spot. Non-refundable. Club Member; $10/vehicle, Non-club Member; $15/vehicle.

I can’t make this. Really wish I could. Couldn’t make it last year either.
 
Surgery for the wife on the 17th. Nothing dangerous, but have to provide transport and care that day and the following weekend.

Definitely understood. Take care of priorities!
 
RSVP paid. :bounce::bounce2::steer: BTW, are we looking the size of the group?
 
Not going to make it. Would have to burn 2-3 days pto, and I'm saving up for a bigger trip.
