Lextronix on RCC sent me this teaser from Raccoon Mtn near Chattanooga TN

:o GAWW DAMNNNNN :o

Deeeeeeeeeeyum!

Them's some nice digs, looks like it's little rock but it's all uphill ( :D ). Any idea about parking-kinda looks like it's just on the side of the road.

That Looks Great , I certainly hope there is somewhere to park around there.

All right! I hope we have a comp there. That would be the closest place for me to go.

Rindean and I will be running a scouting misson in the next month to the Chattanooga area.

Hopefully it will make it a little easier on all SERCRC members to attend a comp.

Racoon Mtn will be one of our first stops

RACOON MTN MAY NOT BE A GOOD SPOT!!!! NO WERE TO PARK AND YOU COULD LOOSE YOUR TRUCK FOR GOOD LONG FALL.BATTLE FEID RACWAY IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CRAWLING COURSE.MAY BE WORTH LOOKING AT IM FINISHING UP MY TUBE CHASSED CRAWLER AND AM PLANING ON TESTING ON THERE COURSE.I WILL LET YALL KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND GET SOME PICS.TOMMY "RAINS BUILT BUGGYS"

Excellent stuff Ray!

I always get a kick out of watching your vids, seems like you've brought the quality up aswell.

Thanks buddy! :cheers:

Obviously some of you will know that this is not a pic of me, but that wasn't the point anyway, I just like the terrain.

Hmm Bike Rock Crawling.......

Bet the Flip overs take alittle while longer to recover from !



Nice Spot though :)

looks like that at the Ocoee (spelling?)

Ladies and Gents we have a winner!!!!!
That's where it is. Along the Ocoee River and around the rafting center.
It would seem that if they will let people ride bicycles around the place they shouldn't have a problem with R/C's.

I also had the idea of Rock Island State Park. I went there this past Friday and talked to the rangers at the visitors center and they didn't think it was a good idea.

Here's some more pics I've found of the Ocoee area and a couple of links.

I've crawled there before, it awesome. I agree if the let the bikes on it they would let little rc truck crawl.

Attention FISH contact these people and make this one our comps this year!!!

Yeah, I agree it does look inviting thumbsup.gif I think Rindaen may have our next roadtrip :overjoyed:

We have a pretty full schedule with 8 events already being planned,pus WERock still wants us at Jellico this year :cheers:



From Atlanta to Copperhill/Ducktown and the east side of the Ocoee River:
This is the fastest direct route from Atlanta to our outpost.Take I-75 North out of Atlanta. About 20 miles north of Atlanta, take the exit for I-575. Stay on this highway - it will change to Hwy 515 or 5, but it is the same highway. You will pass by small towns - Jasper, Ellijay, Cherry Log and Blue Ridge. Turn left at the traffic light in Blue Ridge at the McDonald's Restaurant. You will see a sign "Welcome Center next intersection". You will be on Hwy 5 to McCaysville, GA. Stay on this road about 10 miles and you will pass through McCaysville. As you cross the river bridge (this is the Ocoee!), you will cross into Tennessee and the town of Copperhill. The road ends at a stop sign, and you turn left. You are now on Hwy 68 in Tennessee.
You will go about 5 miles on Hwy 68, past a big historic copper-smelting factory, and the road will open to 4 lanes. Look for the sign to the Ocoee River on the right - this will put you on Hwy 64. After taking the exit ramp for Hwy 64, turn left on 64 west. You will see a Piggly Wiggly grocery, and a couple of motels. This is Ducktown! Continue on Hwy 64 about 2 1/2 miles and our Outpost will be on the right in the log cabin.

Note: You can also reach our outpost from Atlanta via Hwy 411. This is an excellent road to the Ocoee area, BUT it will take you to the west side of the Ocoee gorge, and you will then have to drive through the gorge. We recommend that you use I-575 via Blue Ridge and Ducktown for the fastest route.


From the west side of the Ocoee River via Cleveland, TN:
South on I-75 from Knoxville
Take exit # 25 off I-75 at Cleveland Tn. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp. This road is 25th Street through town and also HWY 60 bypass. Stay on this road for about 5 miles and take the Ocoee exit for Hwy 64 east. Stay on Hwy 64 east for about 35 miles to our Outpost. You will drive past Parksville Lake, the Lower rafting section, the put-in at #2 dam, then the Upper rafting section and the Ocoee Whitewater Center. Enjoy the scenery! We are 3 miles past the Whitewater Center, on the left side of Hwy 64. Allow time for the 2 lane road through the Ocoee gorge - driving is often slow with lots of tourists watching the fun on the river, and rafting buses taking customers to the put-in.

North on I-75 from Chattanooga
Take exit # 20 off I-75 at Cleveland Tn. Turn right at the top of the ramp. This road is the Cleveland Bypass. Stay on this road for six miles and take the Ocoee exit for Hwy 64 east. Then follow the directions above.

That place looks awesome, good find JAT ;)

Let me know when you go.
