I am proposing an Explorer Tellico event for 2003. I would like some feedback to see if this is a "doable" event. I have tried this before but too many got scared away, so we will try again for this year.

There has been much interest and much trepidation concerning participation in the trails at Tellico. Let's see what we can do with Explorers!
For those who have not researched this before, do a search on this site and learn about Tellico. It is no place for a 2wd. But it is possibly the premier location in the eastern U.S. to wheel.
I will volunteer to lead a group of near-stock 4wd Explorers for the time of their wheelin' lives on this weekend. We can take on trails 3, 4, 5, 8, and down 6. Tellico is no place for pussy-footing. You can get lots of trailpinstriping from the rhododendron and the trails can bite you at any time. Be willing to accept body damage or stay home. There's no guarantee of that and there's an excellent chance that you can make it unscathed, but be aware that it could happen.
There will be a capable group of other Explorers doing other extreme trails that weekend. Mostly Texans . We can have a blast and fellowship together in the evenings and swap stories over the campfires.
Thoughts? Is this something we could plan and get some participation in?
