My kids are taking a test and I am caught up with planning and grading, so.... wheeling video time!
I found these two recent ones.
This first one is all Casey!
This next one is long, but thought it was a good one for what we might be doing. Hopefully it won't be as wet.

Looks like it's gonna be lots of fun. Daniel on steroids!
It does remind me though - make sure everyone packs PLENTY of bug spray!!!

Not too real. Not enough money left to mount it and upgrade the front suspension.

Doesn't cost anything to mount it....
Do you just swap springs for the front?

Another thing - do you guys think it would be a good idea to check the FJ forum to see if any of the guys from Tennessee would want to join? Might be good to find someone that knows the trails we would be able to do.

I am not paying for the extra day in windrock. It's pricey for the family.

I need a set of coil overs with heavier springs.

Just to wheel for half a day? Just seems like a waste of a day to me

Plus I wouldn't get there until Thursday afternoon. You should go early and get a lay off the land. Do some reconnaissance for the team.

Their website has changed. They actually have a map up now with trail ratings.

I would love to go but finances will be tight for me with a trip this weekend and the first weekend in may. Ill have to play this one by ear and I would need a ride for the day at Hurricane Creek as my offroad toy isnt tagged and hurricane creek is a state rd.

Casey - Depending on what time we get there, I'd be willing to go on a scouting run. Maybe stick to the gravel roads and walk a few of the shorter trails on the list.
I'm going through the Jeep trip thread to come up with a list of the trails that look possible for us.

Nah. That would be difficult to drive for 3 hours and jump right on a trail with the kids. I'd rather just get to the cabin and let them relax and unwind for a bit before hitting some trails.
