Mountain City - 9/2008

[vanguard]

I went to Mountain City last weekend with a toyota based club I spend most of my time with. I thought I'd post up some pictures just in case the hardline guys had never seen it before. This is from my camera so there are no pictures of me.
This is the waterfall, some days you can crawl right up without wheelspin and other days it's a tough ledge. This weekend wasn't too much trouble.

This guy is still in school, go easy on him for being low budget. ;D The trail is called pull cable.

Another guy on pull cable.

It looked like he was about to roll so they put a strap on him. (The tree damage is not from us)

The first thing he said was, "Why did we take that strap off?" laughing1

This trail was new to us and it led to a great rock garden. Sadly my rig was back at camp with no spark (fixed it yesterday) and nobody else wanted to run it at night.

It was a good time with a bunch of great guys.

Where is this place? Looks like fun. How many days of good riding, day trip or 2-3 days of stuff?

It's in Eastern TN. I'd say somewhere between 1 and 2 days of riding depending on your pace. The fee to ride is $11 per day and the campground has (somewhat yucky) showers and flush toilets. The trail head is right at the campground so you don't have to be street legal.

Cool Pics Vanguard. Calliente was the first place I took my truck after I finished it a couple months ago. We only got a couple trails in, Andys buggy broke an E fan, and I had no Oil PSI. I have no excuse not to go back soon though, its only 30-40 min from my house.

Some more pictures of this place from when we went a few weekends ago.
