Tellico run for 2003?

[GJarrett]

Ken, looks like we got a run for Mother's Day weekend, the second in May 10th-12th. Lotsa Texans gonna show up And to everyone, yes we can pick multiple dates for the summer and go again.

As far as participation, do a search for previous threads concerning Tellico. If you are not 4wd don't even bother showing up. By that time of year the rhododendron will scratch serious trail pinstriping into your vehicle's paint and the trails - even the easy ones - will obliderate the undercarriages of any stocker without skidplates. If you are 2wd you will need to be strapped several times while drunken armed rednecks directly behind you get pissed off having to wait for your butt to get out of their way.

As I've said before though, if we can schedule a run sometime, I will be happy to lead stocker 4wd Explorers on trails 3,4,5,8, and down 6 for those with the kahunas to do it, as long as we don't get in the way of all of the BigDawgs. You'll leave with a mark or two, but what an adventure!

That sucks. Is it really that bad? Not that it is TO big of a deal, but i'm quite to that point yet. Don't get me wrong, i'm still pumped about going. That is if i get my truck back in time

Maybe I should have taken out the word "serious". Yeah it gets pretty thick in places, but you should be able to buff most of it out afterwards. Most of the time you'll just get your clearcoat marred a little and it's not all that bad. It can have the potential to scratch down into the paint though and you need to be aware that could happen.

Well, I have put this off as long as I could. I am out on this trip. To much to do with the new home, new job and new area.

Sorry to back out, but I don't have much choice.
