Me and a couple buddies will be their, but we will be on bikes.

After seeing the course markings for the enduro race that was held there, those riders are crazy! Seieng which routes that had to take during the daytime was nuts, so cannot imagine how crazy it was at night in the rain.

Y'all coming in tomorrow and camping or what? Think me and some street jeeps are going to come Saturday.

Going back and forth. I might make it in Friday afternoon, but I dont know my plans yet.

My junk has sat mostly untouched since March. I might go over it tonight and try to make it out either late tomorrow night/early Saturday morning.

Anyone know if they still have the air compressor at the office?

I'll have my little one with me but it takes a minute to air a tire up if that's what youre needing.

Looks like i'm rolling out of chattanooga around 2 ish today. stop and get some propane on the way and meet Nate there this afternoon.

I'm leaving work around 230, so I will be there around 730, by the time I stop a couple of times

Yea I'm driving about 25 minutes from the house and didn't want to ride back on 5psi haha. I can always bring my pancake compressor.

If you want to do that i have a generator that should run it, it runs my ac on the trailer.

Try to keep the buggy right side up this time considering your history of riding with Nate…

I rode with Nate all weekend and didn't flop. Even got to show out a little

so recap of our group. Nate and I rolled in Friday afternoon. Otto was there. My ride there was eventful. Truck started overheating coming up Monteagle but limped it there and rode. We went to the waterfall Friday night and Nate killed it, as slimy as it was I did not and was not willing to send it that hard that early. Saturday the group grew to Nate, Ryan Van Zant, Poe, Daniel Powers, and me. Ryan's buggy had some issues with the radiator so he took it back to the trailer and hopped in with Daniel and we took off again. Started at the rock garden bunch of people playing. Couple WOD buggies made it, one did not and flopped pretty good. After getting him upright I went and caught the right line and crawled it. Nate, Daniel and Poe all made it easily as well. After that we went to Whiskey Still. I hit the bottom and made it after some beating. Pulled up on upper whiskey but my balls were not big enough to try that one. Guy in a bouncer tried and took the fast way down. After that we went back to the waterfall for my redemption. I made it, decided to go again made it again then got dared to try it in reverse. Didn't make it that time. Went and got some dinner back at camp and took off for a bit hitting some random trails before ending up on the racetrack and back to camp. Going to miss Hale. Always loved riding there.

Hate I missed this last ride!!! Only been there one time last March. Definitely a cool place.
Any chance of private rides still happening there?

Good deal. Must be an AOP problem then.
