Will see what happens after the weekend of the 4th. Heavily considering a Saturday trip up there!

I just registered. Who has decided to come?

XJ savage · Jul 10, 2011

I'll probably end up there. If not then, definately the 29/30/31 of July.

Bruce · Jul 11, 2011

I'm there Friday-Sunday. Look for a steel blue sahara lifted JK on 32 stock rubi tires, if you see me come up and say hi.

Can someone from columbia bring the OffroadSC prizes to the event? I double booked this weekend and cant make it. Let me know if you can help.

Bruce · Jul 13, 2011

I'm passing through columbia on friday heading up there, I would be more then happy to meet somewhere along 20 and take them with me.

97TJGUZZY · Jul 14, 2011

I'll be leaving tonight for the weekend. I could leave them at the house. Or could somebody from the club come pick them up from my house on the way to gulches?

Well so far we are in very good shape mud is where mud should be and dry is where dry should be. If we get no more rain all trails will be open. Dust is down from Wednesday's rain. So far as I write this we look like we missed the rain this morning.

Gulchfest, by Nelms Off Road, looks real good and they have over 40 vehicles paid up coming as far as Miami FL. and many more committed to check in Saturday. Should be fun to see rigs from all over the Southeast. They even brought musicians to play Saturday evening for all to listen to. There is going to be a large raffle with great prizes with one of the top prizes being a set of tires. Raffle tickets I believe are $4.00. You can still register with Nelms at the park to get in on all the great food,(lunch and dinner) snacks, drinks and bonus raffle tickets or if you just want to ride you can register with me in the office for the normal Gulches pricing. Which ever way you register it should be a blast.

Today, Friday, we are open til midnight so the price today to ride is the same as Saturday rates. Again on Saturday we ride till midnight.

See you there.

I have been here but haven't seen anyone that I recognize. Got up trail 8 (woohoo), then used my tow strap for the first time when the guy behind me blew out his front diff.

How did it go?

WolfGT · Jul 18, 2011

I had a blast. Met a lot of people (most of them from Georgia). A good crowd of nice people. I also had a couple guests come down and ride (one on friday and two on sunday). We all had a great time. Didn't break anything, just got really dusty. My friends wife got to ride in one of the really nice rigs through the TNT rock garden. I'll post the video. She had a blast. I went on a lot of trails that I didn't think I would try. Didn't have too hard of a time. Also, for the first time, i went through a triple black riverbed climbing rocks with some finesse. Usually when I would try, it was kind of violent. This time I walked right up. The spotter and the fact that we watched 3 or 4 do it the night before helped a lot.

Having a lot of fun and learning every time I go out. I was going to come to the meeting tonight but I don't think I'll make it. I'll catch up next time.

It was a complete blast. The nelms crew were second to none, slung some of the best grub i've had out of a race trailer.. Its a must go event. They will be doing it next year and looking at doing another in the fall somewhere like AL or KY
