It's in north Georgia this weekend, I'm going anyone interested we can convoy/meet up or I have room for one if anyone wants to ride along. I have an extra tent if anyone needs one. Kinda short notice but looks like a fun weekend.

From ExPo - http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/t ... discussion

I will be heading out early Friday morning to be there that afternoon. camping fri and sat nights.

There is a long trail ride sat that should be fun, most of the info I'll come back with will be about fried foods they really seem to love them.

I had seen the threads on Expo about it. Too long of a drive for me for such short notice... but I'd love to otherwise go.

I followed the first thread on this and second, and got the wife's approval a couple months ago, but the sheer fortune in fuel costs and my desire to get some mods done got me to skip out. Should be a grand time.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

I'll have to keep an eye out for this next year. That's real close to my old stomping grounds up in the Blairsville area. Would be fun to get back down there. Maybe in the spring if I can get started on the TB soon.
