I know things aren't looking that good so far, but I'm gonna do my best to get the word out. To that end I need some help. If anyone is active on TTORA, FJ Cruiser forums or other busy toyota forums, PLEASE PM me. I'd like to get some discussions going there to stir the pot. Also, if members of CLC or other southern clubs see this, please add a link to this thread in your clubhouses and lets see if we can rally support to save Tellico.
We're fighting an uphill battle this year since Diesel is $4 a gallon, the economy is turning south, and a couple of trails are closed. The stars are beginning to align for a poor turnout, and honestly this ain't the year for it. Sure, Lower 2 and Slickrock are closed, but that's only a few miles of trails, there's a whole helluva lot left to wheel. We need to show the USFS that we're serious, and bring out the big guns and prove that we'll ahow up and fight for what we believe is right. The Anti-Access groups are hoping that with the temporary closure order , the demand will drop and the USFS will cave. We desperately need to prove them wrong by showing up en mass...
Hell, even if your rig is laying in pieces on the garage floor, c'mon up! (Yes you Hugh) The friends you'll meet alone is worth the price of admission! There are more than enough open seats to catch a ride on the trails. That plus the raffle should convince people to come.
OK...So if you need motivation to get involved..

Whose With Me?!?!?
we need at least 100 to make a profit and remember the profits go to helping keep Tellico open. So if you have not attended you need to register this year so you don't miss the experience.
