Never been, sounds like a good time. I would probably be up for it. Not sure about timing though, can’t do this coming weekend, Logan’s is after that, expo is after that. Following weekend? 17th of November or Thanksgiving weekend?
I'm good for a day trip. I'm usually free on Saturdays but can probably swing a Sunday if needed.

I'd be down for a gulches trip.
Haven’t been since running a Jeep branded vehicle. Sounds fun.
If I went it'd have to be an overnight, if not two.
I'd be interested for sure
I'm in, depending on the date.
Fun place.
I would come along if the schedule fits. Been ten years, one of my first body and frame damage sites. Where Bonnie got her first band-aid lol, trail called Heartbreaker. Be good to see how their spread has grown and worn over the years.
Also got a chance to use my brand new winch on a Hummer that had 'sploded her front diff then became boxed in by trees. Happy times.
Pro Tip: Don't let their mud harden in your rims, winch or anywhere, it is like epoxy concrete. Dan Kunz had to rebuild his winch a year later it was a solid block. My rims were still leaking down randomly 8 years later no matter how many times I cleaned and ground on that stuff. [ Five 17" Toyota steelies free on board Greenville to a good home BTW]
Now I think about it my MUDD picture to the left here is Bonnie, forget what trail but it was a cool obstacle.

I thought that was on Daniel when you bent your wheel, uca, and other things unknown.

Oh Dave that was the LAST of many.
Tellico I dropped on a rock in the sluice after a hard day wheeling most of the good trails dead stock spotted by Tellico Tom.
We were almost to the river to go out and it was dark and I wasn't paying attention they took the harder looking way apparently. I dropped over a tooth with my RR in a long deep mud pit which hit the edge of the body wheel well and bent it in an inch or more, pulled the whole quarter out a couple inches at the quarter trim. I hauled it as tight as I could with a ratchet strap from the hitch to the front door jamb and threw a bunch of sheet rock screws in and never went back. Dead stock.
Then I went to URE and went up Daniel and through Kodak and tore off a running board going down (?) the long windy ditch because I stopped letting Jason spot me late in the day and dropped off a ledge that finished off the left board - - the rock rails were to my house when I got home so they would be trashed anyway.
Then a few other things including the big dents over the wheel wells which were the Daniel tree going both ways one time or another.
The last was the catastrophe on the first obstacle on Daniel when I just lost patience and hit it Jeep style the third try. I'd never had to do that turn and climb but once. That's when I decided to always take the bypass unless necessary. Bonnie was meant to last me the rest of my life and I forgot that for an instant.
Big bad Bonnie is sweet Bonita now.
Anybody wanna buy five 17" Toyota steelies, well used, cheap?
At Gulches I got a deep sharp dent about sixteen inches long just at the lip of the LR fender. And they had a little band-aid which inspired Dave (shrimp boil Dave) to get the big ones made when we both got the same dent on Daniel downhill.
I also broke my RR fwd link. Well it just was caved but when I got home it was in two pieces. Good upgrade opportunity with DOM teflon lubricatable pieces from All-Pro, same folks made my sliders which I love.
And rescued a pretty girl with a stupid husband in a her Hummer when they snapped the front diff (for the SECOND time) on a very simple little gravel hill. What a joke of a vehicle.
I must have had my Super Swampers on by then, and my lift. I'll bet I changed tires on that truck a half dozen times in Cullowhee from throwing them off after airing down and then peeling off because they would leak catastophically from the encrustment of their blasted mud when you over-stressed them the wrong way. Hate that damn mud.
