2003 Tellico K5 Krawl

Ok! Just checking back in. I'm as of this point still a go. Even if I have to return with the same rig as the last trip. WIthout funds the 400 swap over is dead in the water. But maybe I'll have to sell a couple of odd's and ends to get at least a tranny cooler and some other oddities.

Damn Rob! Good to hear from you. Hope you have fun in SERE school. Isn't that Search, Evasion, Rescue and Escape???
Heard that was a little rough during the escape part. If you don't make it... We'll drink a cold one or two for yah! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif or you could tell the instructor you have the escape portion donw already and point to the ---> /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif..

Later you all. Keep in touch!
 
Just checkin in... I have the new 60 installed, but it needs alot of little stuff done. The new 14 bolt needs pearches rewelded. My beadlocks should be here after the first of the year. Then its WTO time!!

Cool, good to hear from yall. Mudzer has his ride going the weekend before so that will probably cut down on some attendees. I dont have the time to start calling all the venders to ask for stuff for a raffle or give away. Would be nice to have though.

Vendors? /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif How official like are we trying to make this getty up?
 
Well, let me add to that, not actually having them show, but contacting them to supply parts/tools/whatever they sell to draw for at the run. I just dont have the time to do it.

that suck so bad. if it was any other weekend this year, i would go. id skip prom for this, but i cant skip my boy scout thing that weekend. i have to possibly run for a section position in tha OA. have fun though
 
Got the go ahead from the wife. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif It bein my birthday weekend and all. I probably won't run the rig. Never did no rock crawlin and my rig isn't ready and aint gonna be before then. Maybe I will run it next year. Found a crack in the block of the new engine I was puttin together. Man I hate to love magfluxin a block at the shop. Moves a new rear into the next thing to get block though. But I am plannin on comin so any info would be great about campin.
 
I'd be happy if we could get some PEOPLE to show up. Vendors or their products would be too. You get any kind of #'s for those coming this year?
 
I have about 10 to 12 people on the email list I have (its on another computer or I would have an exact number) I need to post a list of motels and camp sites. I think it would be a good idea to use Crawfords for the main meeting place. Got any ideas or suggestions?

Depdog
 
I'll be there, don't have much better to do that weekend and I'm sure ya'll would love to a have a local along for the ride. It'll be nice to see a bunch of big ole blazers together, especially after seeing keiths .
 
Crawfords souds good to me. I guess I need to to make a reservation. Any idea if they reservations for tent camping?
 
If it happens this year the Smokey Mtn Venture is the same time{last thur in apr to first sat in may}.There's lots of camping on Tenn side of trails.S M V bunch has been camping at Hanging Dog state park just outside ov Murphy NC.Several good hotels and motels over there too.It's farther to trails but there's wallmart and several parts houses there.They have learned to stock up on common parts by now.A small town ,Green cove is about 6 miles from trails on Tenn side.Small motel there and couple of small stores.Gas is higher there than in Tellico or Murphy,but,if you don't need too much it beats the drive to either town,Also pretty good machine shops in both towns.Look forward to seeing Y'all there.Gold 88 GMC,Just can't get rid of me.C B handle{ZONKER}.Get over there a lot and know area prety well.Know some easier trails with beautiful views too.Fire tower lookout at nearly 6000 ft and more.One of the oldest trading posts east of Miss river not far. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gifer on 38s D60 front.Like to wheel it hard and often. Also now a offroad camp on NC side of trails.Has fair shop on site and do different things evenings around camp.

[/ QUOTE ] How about gas is a LOT higher there.
If anyone is is of the hotel camping type, the new Holliday Inn Express in Murphy is very nice! Stayed there for our clubs Winter Maddness ride last weekend. They even let a few folks park their RV in the lot! Lots of room for trailers and they don't bitch about trail rigs in the lot. They also lack the giant roaches that the Ecno Lodge has. They do have a rule that says "No Super Swampes allowd in the rooms", no kidding they realy do /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
I usually camp at Hanging Dog Park,but,may stay on Tenn. side of Mtn this year.Murpy has better choice of stores and resturants than Tellico,but roads a little better to Tellico from state line.Not as much dust going down in evenings.Green Cove has small motel and I think some cabins too. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Some folks from Tenn might be reason for no swamper rule. Long story,tell it in person if I get chance.Hope to meet some of Y'all there. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gifer on 38s /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Come on over.Always glad for company.Get ready for muddy rocks.If you don't have any luck on campgrounds PM me.There's a state camp gtound at Green cove and several on N C side of mountain.Weathers usually not to cold by then,been camping out for several years at that time of year. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Everyone going to Tellico is going to get lost this year.Acording to Petersons 4Wheel mag.Tellico has moved to S.C..Just thought Y'all ought to know.Hit their site and give them a jab for it.I got good laugh out of it. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gifer /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
