If tystoy directions are correct, then I have a 2.5 hour drive from Knoxville to get there. Let's rock!

about 45 min.

Tystoy, at least give us you and friends if you have them,
I don't have a cell phone. if you want to talk to me please call me at home (770)735-2098. feel free to call anytime.

does anyone have a rough estimate on what time we will be done wheelin?..
Doink, you will be able to leave any time you are ready. I will be out there until everyone is gone or I have to be at work on monday. so you just plan it how ever you want it.

So who is definitely going, because I'm not going to drive all the way down there to be the only person going?
Chris, Don't you worry, you will not be the only person down there. My wife and I are going no matter if anyone shows up or not.

I got up this morning all ready to go, and took another glance at my rear axle seal, and it was all over my wheel, tire, fender, practically everything, so unfortunately, I wasn't able to go either. I'm sorry too, because I was really looking forward to going. We'll have to do it again sometime soon.

well heres the story about the north georgia ride:

I got up friday morning and tore my pickup down to put a new timing chain in it, only to find that the right side chain guide had broken and was in the oil pan. So I had to drop the pan too. Saterday night comes around and the altinator in the 4runner takes a crap(the old altinator was 4 months old) so at 10:00 pm I start calling around to see if I can find a 24 hour parts store. at midnight I find out that the closest one is an hour away. I call them and they have the altinator and will hold it for me. So sunday morning I get up at 6 to make the ride to get the part. I get home and get the new one in. at 9 we leave for the meeting place. we get there at 10 and wait untill 11 for someone to show up. NOBODY shows up, so my wife and I go to the trails and have a freekin BLAST. we left at 2 and went swimming. I only have one thing to say about planning a ride, I WILL NEVER PLAN ANOTHER ONE. If someone else wants to plan a trip I will be glad to go and lead the way. but someone else will have to plan it. By the way that is a great place to plan a ride at. Both trucks are still covered in mud.

How about meeting somewhere in Chattanooga as a half way point for us both? There's some places around there for some wheeling from what I understand.

I'll be taking them soon! It's been in the shop getting the rear axle seal done, and timing belt and water pump installed.
