[The Roadie]

Ok, so as some of you may know... I'm known for my well planned out, and properly equipped offroad adventures

You're the POSTER CHILD for well planned out, and properly equipped offroad adventures.

[DirtyBacon04]

Yea, but I've got stories. and grit..... True Grit...

[djthumper]

Must be eating a lot of it down there...

[Cody_S]

Cody_S... Calling Cody_S, please report to the front office to see principal D. Bacon

Uhoh, I'm in trouble

I'm down for some wheeling up there. Haven't been to Sheep Wallow in a while, from what I remember it was pretty rutted out last time.

[DirtyBacon04]

In your opinion, is it worth it to include it in the trip?

It's been a while since I've been up there, so I'm not sure. There is a thread about it on GATrailRiders. The road is a forrest service road, but apparently a lot of people were not wheeling on the marked road, so the name has since been edited out of the thread. (http://www.gatrailriders.com/GTRForums/ ... #msg170935) is the thread over there.

edit:
Just realized the thread isn't viewable without logging in, here's a copy of what was said on the last page of the thread:

Me: Curious as to why the title and name of the road has been censored.  Did it end up being confirmed illegal?

Staff Member: The problem is we can't get a clear answer if it is legal or illegal so GATR will not post about or ride at that location.

Another Member: Im pretty postive it is legal. Its a forest service road with a forest service number. I dont remember what it is though.

Other Staff Member: There is no question about the road. It is the wheeling off the road that adds this location to the list of places that will not be discussed here.

[DirtyBacon04]

could you post a good address or intersection for Sheeps Wallow, can't seem to find one. Or just a place up there to meet, and I'll just follow you to the trail.

Mrs. Key, are you coming? and if so, are you allowing your husband to tag along?

[The Roadie]

I found it in a quick Google image search. Here it is! Don't know what's your problem.

[DirtyBacon04]

I know where it is, just dont know where the entrance to the trail is...

MAYBE:


Anybody else?! C'mon! Don't be scared. I wouldn't lead you anywhere dangerous (intentionally, twice)

[mikekey]

Nope, gotta take care of some things.

[The Roadie]

Do I need a facebook thingy to be cool?

It would give me another vector to stalk and harass you. So....yes.

[DirtyBacon04]

Nope, gotta take care of some things.

Aight, maybe next time.

If you need somebmore ideas for trails you could ask Zolo(Daniel) on ExPo. He knows that area really well. He has a shop in Decatur GA, they do outdoor screenings of overland and adventure flicks at Daniel's shop. Anyway they know the good trails.

ON MY WAY! Be sure to take as many pics as i can. Cody_S, I'll PM you my number. I should be in Savannah around 12 or 1, then up around Sheeps Wallow at about 6 ish. I have my SPOT, but the subscription has run out, but it'll still work for SOS. No worries y'all. Whats the worst that could happen?!

I think you already know! It could all go to bacon!

[The Roadie]

Let me start the list. I'll be done in a month or so. Good luck and stay safe. My winch line won't extend that far.

[DirtyBacon04]

ALL DONE!! Here are some teaser pics while I work on a video. Had a great time, even though it rained non stop up there! Night one, stopped just long enough for us to put up tents, night two... wheeled until about 1130/midnight, then drove back to Savannah and stayed there. Nothing broke, that I know of. Aside from the trees that got in my way... No one got seriously stuck. Any time one of us got stuck, it was just a quick tug from the other vehicle to get moving again. Although, my rig did impress me when i assisted Cody in climbing about 1/4 mile of 20 & 25 degree GA clay mud trails with 18 inch deep ruts (video to come). But my truck didnt slip, stop, or quit. No doubt, he was helping, but as the video shows, the strap was tight most of the time.
Anyways, i know most wont read this text, and just start oogling the pictures, so here we go.











Not quite sure what happened to Cody's truck here..............

[DirtyBacon04]

oh, and here's a quick video.
