TELLICO 2007?!?!

Let's clarify the date, I took it that Nester suggested 3rd week in Sept, meaning the 21st through 24th. That would be the weekend after Big Dogs.

If big dogs is that weekend that kind of sucks. What about another date. Any thoughts on the third week in aug?

I like september and october I want to do the jeeps on the beach in august is we are still doing that.

Well if we can't swing September there is always the Dixie Run. I'm not down with August weather unless my fat ass is in a/c! Nicki has inventory towards the end of september - not certain if it's the 2nd to last weekend or the last weekend. I took the 3rd weekend of september as being the 14th - 17th which I think would work out well for me. However, I don't think the following weekend will be a problem. We just need to settle on a date soon.

Kat your welcome to come but not having a front locker in a place like Tellico will make things hard for you. But its your call. If you right seat with someone you will be good help. We need people that can pick lines and help keep things moving. The more experienced wheelers that go with rigs or not the better things will go. I'm really not that big on running the dixie run. I would like to make a Rock Raiders with people we all know and trust.

So I think we have it down to the 3rd or 4th weekend in september. right? Anytime in september or october is fine with me so just let me know.

As soon as we set a good date I will call to crawfords and figure where we can stay. I'm happy as long as I have a place to take a shower.

I'm still down for any date it's far enough away I can plan for it, October is harder because work should start getting busy then especially if it gets cold early this year. My passenger seat should be empty too. Just gotta find a winch before then.

Hey Scott talk to danny about the wench he got a deal on his. I say buy a warn. they take a beating and parts are not that hard to get a hold of and there customer support is the best. They have a customer for life with me thats one more vote for september anyone else in?

doesn't matter to me. Like scott said its long enough away so I will have plenty of time to plan.

sept. it is then.

My vote is in for september as long as it's not the last week of september - i'm assuming that's when nicki's inventory will be - she'd be pretty upset if i went to tellico without her!

Okay guys there are five weekends in september. So just to make sure we are on track the third and fourth weekends are the 14-17 and 21-24. That with us leaving on a friday wheeling saturday and sunday and driving back monday.

I'm liking the 14-17th a lot.

That weekend may be better because I'm going to try to make a couple of other Big Dog events this summer, If it was the 21st through 24th I'd try to do both and may have something break and not get fixed in less than a week.

14th thru the 17th. everyone that wants to go thats our weekend I will check on the crawford camp

should't be a prob with me for those dates.

good for me

Okay I will call down there on monday to set it up.

hi my name is john. me and my father went down with bill and nester to tellico last year. i had a great time and will be going back down in the future. i think everyone should go down atleast once. the wheeling is awesome. you dont have to have a built rig to go but it helps. one of the other guys in the group had a jeep with 33 tires lock front and rear and went everywhere i did with 60's and 38's swampers. we stayed in the cabins at crawfords they were very nice there other cabins in the area i have some info from our trip somewhere on my desk and i have a trail map that is small and easy to read. e-mail me at redsandman6@hotmail.com if you have any questions

hope you guys have fun.

Cool, Thank you

Any progress?

I called down to crawfords twice last week and the line was busy. I will try again today. As soon as I have it setup I will let everyone know whats the cost are going to be. The cabins have to double beds and a futon down stairs. That and there is plenty of room for air beds up stairs. Also a porch out back that you could set tents up. We didn't spend much time last year at the cabin the trails take up alot of time.

so what is the final word on the tellico trip? We going down the week before the big dog event or we just going to say the hell with it and go down for the dixie run since it looks like things are falling through. I really want to make the last big dog event so dixie is really looking good to me at the moment.

Its up to you guys. I really want to go as well and I'm holding out at the moment to see how this month turns out for me. I'm moving in to my parents house for a month or two while I work out the details of buying a house. If it leaves me completely broke then the only thing I will be able to afford is jeeps on the beach and wheeling while camping is still good. If not and my meeting with my loan officer goes well then I'm calling Crawfords and setting this up. Sorry guys but uncle same is killing me with my taxes and the kind money you pay for rent down here would make you cry to see it go to waste.
