Cherokee Crawl
July 10-12 2003
Come one come all to the 5th Annual Cherokee Crawl in the Upper Tellico ORV area. Where A bunch of guys, gals, kids, dogs, and XJs, get together to run the trails, hangout, visit local attractions and generally have fun.
We invited all members- a great reason to join- their family members and guests. So y’all come. Did we mention joining would be a good idea.
The trail in Tellico vary from bedtime prayers to snake-handling revivals. There are trails for stock XJs (although they ain’t tame you will need protection), and others that will test the mettle of the 36”, dual lockers and winch crowd. This ain’t nice dry rock. Oh sure, there are lots of rocks, but they are often surrounded by good gooey TN/NC mud. At least the stream crossing will give you a chance to clean it out of your tires and brakes.
