The heater will come in handy. Looking forward to a great weekend. Hope the trails are OK, lots of rain yesterday.

Rain mostly quit by the time I got here at about 9PM. Beautiful clear sky today.

I'll be sleeping in the back of the vehicle, so I'll be good with staying warm. But I will need to go back home after leaving work to get my forgotten boots.
Looks like it will get into the low 30's this weekend, and a high of about 60 on Saturday.

Great trip, awesome trail, solid group. Thank you @Jeffrey Dill for putting in the leg-work on setting it up. After my attempts over the summer I discovered how quickly it becomes to get burnt out on putting these things together. It’d be good to have different people to plan the big group events. Keeps it fresh.
These are the only photos I took, so I hope someone else took some better shots. Especially of some of those amazing views over Jocassee. I know I saw a lot of GoPro’s out there - a lot more than I usually see - I want to see some video footage! I’ve been back & forth on whether I should buy 1 or not. I’ve never seen any of y’all actually make more than a clip that lasts a few seconds. The satellite uplink I run in conjunction w/ Gaia created a pretty solid route (most of the trail it was accurate up to 8 feet). A video to go w/ it would be great!
Until the next time... happy trails

I had a great time with you guys. Here are some pictures that I took:
I'll post some video later this week (with all the rigs driving by and of the tree clearing operations), but I already posted the one of my Mercedes going over one of the more technical parts of the trail on my Instagram. I probably won't be able to make it for a trip in December if we decide to go, since I'm planning on being out of town and I'm trying to get enough money saved up for a suspension lift to be installed by around February 2020. But we'll see how things go!

That picture of the campground looks like it has a label bc of my spare carrier swung out like that.

Had a great time! Thanks everyone. Can’t wait for the next trip. I didn’t take many photos but here are the few I did snap.

I must have missed that part. LOLI put together some footage of our trail ride:

After I left camp I drove the backroads to Rosman. Then 215 to 475 (gravel road with a mountain bike event) 276 to Brevard for lunch. Then I thought Hurricane creek is around here. Got on there at 4:00. The last few miles in the dark. That was fun. Now I'm wild camping in the back of the truck on a very overgrown Wilkins creek road.
Great trip. Nice meeting y'all. Lets do another trip soon.

Just started sifting through my GoPro footage. Video to come as I work through it, but here's Jeff showing us the way from the hood of my Blue-baru

Tom is either looking with consideration at which trail to take or looking with concern at that 4Runner that was about a centimeter away from buying a whole new set of passenger-side body panels.

Although I'd like to say consideration of which trail to take, I was probably distracted by the 4Runner. [emoji849]

I didn't notice that one of the side-by-sides actually had a dead deer in it.

Should be the new banner image for future trip plannings.
