Default North Georgia Forest Service w/ Ice, Mud, Stucks and log jumping...

Unfortunately no photos of my actual Jeep since it was not finished in time. I was able to meet some great Jeepers and still catch a ride to go on the Forest Service Road trail ride I planned.

Plan was to head out early and simply explorer. This lead to getting bored, getting a nice 'touch free' car wash from overhanging breaches, leaves, stickers and limbs due to ice. Going up and down "Ice Mountain" was more hairy than it should have been but still fun!

Not my best work and not happy with all the photos but fighting fog and then fighting somewhere to stand in the muck/mud. Better photos next time...

























Some Jeepers rolled out after we decided to go explorer some other local trails/dirt roads that were located on google. Was sort of 'pre-scouted' by a Jeep that rides Dual Sports as well.





Time to head out to a new spot but this is new... looks like a tree fell while we were wheeling... one jeep with MTs easily drove down hill, through a small grass lot and back up hill to go around... next up "I'll just drive over it"...




Stock JK w/ Leveling Kit and stock SRAs decided to drive around... and he is stuck! Winch and smoking clutch later and he is on his way home!




Here we get to the 'new' place... You can definitely make that...




Nope you can't... Winch out and winch out the log and off we go!




More mud...






And to close the day we decided to cross a creek which flowed more like a River with the excessive rain we had... Go Jeep Go!!!










And a fun little movie...

We couldn't. We only had 1 winch left with the group and a good 75% of the roots were attached and underground. It was HEAVY and still firm in the ground.

Job well done!

I had a awesome time!


I've got a plan / route mapped out for the next ride to do that, "last section" then hit some other new stuff in the mountains.

Cool Pics! Thanks for being the camera man!

FYI ...for inquiring minds ... those pics were all the same day .... The top of the Mountain was frozen ... lower elevations were mud ...

Nice pictures. I like the pictures that were taken in the ice. Those look really neat.

What sucks about getting stuck is that I was fine all day, until we came upon that tree across the road and had to divert. Damn SRA's!
