I've been wanting to hit Cades Cove/Tail of The Dragon area. Not sure when it will happen.
Never done it, but I've hear a lot about Tail of the Dragon. If I can get the parts I need to finish off the suspension I'd be up for making that run in the truck sometime next year. As it is right now the caster is off too much to make than an enjoyable drive. Wouldn't be too much fun in the F-250 either, but the Forte would probably handle it well. While I have got a motorcycle, it hasn't run in a decade and isn't likely to be drivable in the next year. Even if it was, I'm so out of practice I wouldn't want to tackle that road.
Don't know anything about Cades Cove.
Something like that I'd probably want to schedule an extra day or two.
HGA stands for Hidden Gem Adventures. It was a FB group I used to moderate. It became too Toyota based so I resigned from my moderator position. I usually get down to central GA couple time a year to ride. I've been working g my way down the Georgia Adventure Trail. I've made it a little southeast of Atlanta on it so far. Looking to do more of it next year. Be awesome to have you come along.
First I've heard about GAT that I can remember, trying to find a way to look at a detailed map on my computer. From the thumbnail you'll definitely be passing close around the Macon & Warner Robins area. From route pictures I'm seeing online, I don't know if I'd have anything properly equipped to tag along, but could probably meetup somewhere along the way. F-250 is 4x4 but not really setup for offroading. The F-100 could definitely handle the terrain, but not something I'm prepared to take long distances right now (next big project). Dirt roads and mudpuddles wouldn't be too much trouble for the Ranger, but much rougher and it'll be out of it's element.
Is there a way to do a targeted broadcast to people in any specific area? We all read the forums pretty regularly, but I’m sure a lot of people only do it occasionally. But if we could send them a PM in a group broadcast, it might get some results.
I'm on an F-250 forum that does a North GA G2G two or three times a year. Their solution to this is creating a tag list (IE:
@Rick W, @...) for with all of the people that they want to notify and copy/paste it into the announcement post. Do it too much and people will probably start getting tired off it, but a few times a year would probably be ok.
It's not like I'm just avoiding you guys, I've been getting tagged for those for about three years now and haven't made it to one yet. Keep saying I'm going to go, then something happens that the timing doesn't work out. I think the last one (spring) was the well pump failing, before that was dad's cancer treatments. I'm already counting out a fall one if it happens due to finances and proximity to hunting season. I didn't get to hunt last year and if I can't go this year I'll probably be working OT to help with the finances.
