This will be the third, AND FINAL, official pre-run for the 2016 End of Summer Run at Windrock Park in TN. There will be at least two run groups, more will be added based on those attending. One group will be to focus on the Advanced trails and the other to focus on the Intermediate and Beginner/Scenic trails. If you are interested in joining this run, please let me know which group you would like to be apart of. If you would like to run the Advanced group, please list your build stats (lift, tire size, lockers, winch, sliders, etc). The actual trails being run will depend on weather.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE A PERMIT AT ALL TIMES WHEN ON THE TRAILS, THIS INCLUDES PASSENGERS. Yes, they do run permit checks.

ATTENDING: (The Advanced group will be capped at 8 rigs and the Intermediate/Scenic at 10 rigs. Should those wanting to attend, justify additional run groups, they will be added as needed.)

IF YOU PLAN ON ARRIVING FRIDAY WITH THE INTENT TO WHEEL, WE WILL BE HEADING OUT AROUND 1:00pm, NO LATER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO WE CAN MAKE SURE NOT TO LEAVE ANYONE. An asterix by your name means that you will be wheeling on Friday.

Friday's run will be: Meet at Windrock Campground Office between 12:30 and 1pm. Will head out on asphalt (PROMPTLY at 1PM) on 330 to 116 and enter trail at G50. We will run 50 to 53 to G55 to 61 to 62 and up to The Flats. This will an Intermediate run that encompasses everyone attending. If people want to get daring and run 54a (Devil's Elbow), there is a way to do so and tie back in at The Flats. There are also plenty of areas to play at The Flats.

SATURDAY: We will meet at the General Store. We will have a Driver's Meeting at 8:30am and be loaded up heading to the trails at 9:00am. Unlike last time, if you are not at the store, ready to roll at 9, you will be left.

Might be a dumb question but oh well.
Do you know if the drive is very hilly? Such as up and threw the North Georgia mountains?
My dad wanted to come and bring the camper but even with his f250 he's not comfortable driving it threw the narrow winding roads since its 36ft...
Go on ahead and put me down as a maybe for advanced group either way

It's really not bad if you go straight up 75 to 162 into Oak Ridge.
