That looks like you guys had a great time. I am trying to figure out exactly where the river crossing is located? is it the Chattooga River or the West Fork Chattooga off Warwoman rd.? I frequent that area and would love to hit that one weekend.

I am going to plan to make that trip next year some way, some how.

It's illegal to ford the chattooga. That is the Warwoman ford.

Had an awesome time! Got a lot of videos and pics up on my FB page.

Teddy has some weld on sliders that he recommended. Not sure if he made them or not

boads are gone! Looks much better

I had an absolute blast on this trip! Really enjoyed hanging out with y'all and relaxing. Chris and Steve told some pretty memorable stories (FYI, my wife's sisters went to Kennedy High School in Taylor) on Saturday night - had me laughing pretty hard even though I was only half awake! The Cullowhee spot was pretty amazing; secluded with a nice stream - I think Chuck led because he had his mind set on that spot! That evening was pretty perfect minus Rick's differential snafu (hope you get it resolved quickly, sir). The Courthouse Falls excursion was beautiful - I'm glad I didn't skip it but next time I'll bring a camera. And I won't push Eric in to Blue's swim path. Hagan, glad you rocked the Hundy on Black Balsam, it was good to see one getting out there and mixing it up. The potluck dinners were pretty dang amazing. My expectations were pretty low with the tacos, but they blew me away; damn good cooking, Marshall! Breakfast was awesome too, thanks Steve. Besides Gabe's ham, I think I filled up with charcuterie on Saturday. Gabe, you and Jennifer did a very nice job raising your boys. They're very well-mannered and polite. They seemed to get along well with Philip's son Ethan - I was very happy to see them enjoying themselves.

I admit that I was a bit bummed about not being on the bald at Black Balsam, but I got over it pretty quick once we had our chairs up there. The crowd was much smaller than I was expecting and it's still one of my absolute favorite places on earth. Plus, I can't get Will's trip to the bongo beating sweat lodge out of my mind! That story never gets old. Great memories of this place and I can't wait until next time! Thanks, gents. I hope I get to spend more time getting to know more folks next year.

Has anyone posted video or pictures of my water crossing? I haven't seen anyone's pic of me.

Edit: Found it! Thanks Teddy!

And some from trek up the trail and the pit stop to change out punctured tire! Thanks again @the gimpey one and Don Cain for the help in getting it jacked up!

Thanks. that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if something had changed. I was surprised at the water depth at the crossing. Thanks for sharing pics, everyone.

I guess I need to start unloading the cruiser.

I got the blue whale unloaded, but haven't cleaned anything. Need to hire a neighbor kid.

I posted pictures on my Facebook page but only got a few shots of Cullowhee...

Boys had a blast and already are asking to go back.

Have made a note for in the future to go with more of a Beefy T cut and not the metrosexual cut!
