October 18, 1998

The Renegade 4WD Club held a stock vehicle ride to the Rich Mountain trail just north of Ellijay, Georgia. This trail is a very easy trail and the ground was dry, giving our stock vehicles no trouble at all.

Stefan Roth leading the group in his '98 Cherokee. This part of the trail is the first noticable obstacle. It's fun in stock vehicles, but otherwise nothing noteworthy.

Matthias Roth in his '97 Toyota Tacoma pickup.

Barron Cain in his newly rebuilt CJ-7. Obviously, it's not stock, but just on another test run after a massive rebuilding project after an on-road accident.

A guest, Kevin, on a first time ride.

This is Steve Turek driving his wife's Suzuki Sidekick on the trail. Besides having street tires, no ground clearance, no axle articulation, no torque, and too-high low range, it's not a bad offroad vehicle. Steve is a very skillful driver, so the little Sidekick did make it through the trail (and back again).

This is Patrick Corkren's new 1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It has a lift and he is working on modifying it more.

No, you didn't have to drive through the mud hole. There was a way around, but Steve wanted to test the Sidekick anyway. He had to back out.

Steve Turek: "I didn't even know anymore what it is like to drive without a locker."

Becky Bramble, daughter of Tim, in front of an old (and recently collapsed) log cabin, probably from some early settlers. More recently used by hunters and perhaps some kids.

Thanks for visiting!!!
