Where: Wildcat Campground, Suches, Georgia Map Link

This is definitely a "something for everyone" type event, with no hardcore wheeling and a family and dog friendly environment. This year, the rides will be all FS roads, and we typically run for several hours before heading back to camp.
It's a potluck type event, where most bring chili, venison, bbq, mac & cheese, etc... you don't have to feed "everyone", but bring enough to share.
This is a good opportunity to show what a great club UC is. We'll bring the big UC canopy and cook up a feast. Last year Marshall brought the UC canopy and the 3-burner stove for our crowd to gather under. We got a tent site that had 120V power and lived well despite the 20* temps.
This event started a few years ago by a few guys on Expedition Portal and evolved into a popular gathering to fry turkeys and sit around the fire. The regional group is called South Eastern Expedition Society (SEES) and there are bunch of good guys and gals in the group. Not all Toyotas, but they do make up the majority it seems.
The weekend is pretty laid back, no sponsors, no vendors, no raffle, no swag bag, no registration fees. They don't even really like to call it an "Event". The offroad trips are led by locals familiar with the FS roads and there is usually a few different groups broken up into how long you want to be on the road (all day vs. quick coupla hours) It's really just an organized, really large camp out.
The only thing you need to do is cover your own camping fees. $20/night for a regular campsite and $30/night for one with power; $5/truck for day-trippers (potty fee). Sharing of sites is allowed, but try to keep it within reason (2 tents/vehicles per site).
If you are interested in going, it would be polite to sign up over at Expedition Portal and introduce yourself. You will need to register with the site before being able to view the thread.
