Thanks guys
Rob and I have RV spaces reserved, so far we have Rob, Todd, Andy Goode and myself coming, hopefully there will be a few more. I have not been there in several years but we will get a map and lead a harder group.
I am planning on making this trip, looking forward to it.

This looks like fun and I would enjoy seeing some new areas. My work has me booked the last half of August. Looks like September or October will be when I get my mountain fix. Have great time
Me and the boy will be attending
For those that are interested, I will be wheeling on Sunday and staying Sunday night. I won't be arriving until Friday night (got a class at work I can't get out of), but will make up for it on Sunday. Might be a way for some of our Iron Butts to get another day of wheelin in. I will be interested in caravaning up there if you want to do the same.
This means that I need someone to help out on Friday organizing trail ride groups, and possibly getting waivers signed.
Also, I'll have the shirt idea up by the end of the week. Keep your eyes open.

Time for some more pics/info and time to get some interest going for this event. Little over 3 weeks away.
From the Coal Creek OHV website:
"Trails range from gravel roads to extreme mountainous terrain. Easy trails include gravel roads and hard packed clay trails with few if any challenges.
Most trails are rated "moderate" and include mud, small rocks and small hill climbs. The more "difficult" rated trails will include off cambers, tougher hill climbs, rocks, mud and should only be attempted by experienced riders.
There are over 160+ miles of trails now open in the area. All trails are marked with a trail number, degree of difficulty and vehicles allowed on the trail. Some trails are restricted to ATV and Motorcycle use only.
There are plenty of different trails for all types of vehicles and adrenaline levels. There is also beautiful mountain scenery around every corner.
To access the OHV area you are required to have a Land Use Permit. Each person entering the area, regardless of age or activity must possess a land use permit while using the OHV area."
So bring any and every truck, it sounds like there will be more than enough to do no matter what the skill level of the driver or truck is.
Here are some pics from different sites on the web (Sorry not enough Toyota pics out there, we'll have to change that):
Big Boy Areas:
Less Breakage Areas:
Here's a map of the place.
The attachment is a more in-depth trail detail.
SO WHO'S READY TO GO WHEELIN?

I plan to arrive on Thursday afternoon and I think Rob will be up Thursday evening, so we can help with the rides on Friday.
FYI, comparing my previous GPS track to the detailed PDF map above...trail 39 dead ends less than 1 mile after you turn off of trail 3.
So, don't bother with trail 39.

everything is in place, just waiting on the vacation approval.
Admission Fee: [I think this has changed] $10 per day per vehicle or $50 annual membership fee.
I went up there last year while in Knoxville and they charged $15 per person. Me, brother-in-law, three kids under 10yrs $75 BUCKS.
Loaded with motorcycle and four-wheelers. The parking lot/off-load area and sign-in area was a zoo.

We ran WindRock a while back. Had a great time - lot's of good trails then; but can't remember many of them. Here's a very short link - doesn't do the park justice:

Take lots of pictures, I'm livin' wheelin' through the web right now...

I'm still planning on coming, if the 80 will comply and work for me.... We need some t-shirts for this... the more advertising we do, the more we'll grow
I'm pretty sure Carp has the shirts in process. I'll let him post details, since he designed and ordered them.
I do have the idea for shirts, as well as some work done, and it is still possible to have the shirts done by the event. The big thing is that I need to get an idea on how many people would want a t-shirt. UC as a whole are trying to get better about ordering only the number of shirts that we have "orders" for. We still have a lot of shirts from previous events that we can't sell, so we're being a little more conservative with future shirts.
If you think you want a t-shirt for OTMT, please post up. I'll put the shirt design up here tonight, as I need to put the finishing touches on it.
Thanks for bringing this up again!
I've got everything set up and was called for jury duty last week. It's now going to go into next week for sure. This trip is in real jeopardy right now.
Talk to the Clerk, they may let you serve the next session if you have a vacation planned.
OR, wear your "hang-em all!" tee shirt to the qualifying.
Sorry to hear that. Good luck getting out of it. We'd miss you for sure.
