I want to want to go... but then I think about driving to chattanooga to sit in the hot ass humid woods all day and think I'd rather go fishing or something. I know, cool story. :dunno:

You already know/said it's a bad idea :****: , just buy another jeep to build up
Thanks for posting an update. Looks like they closed the only "real" trail on the TN side, so that will detract most anyone from going.
