I am heading up that way for family stuff and was going to be close to the Knob(ha) and wanted to know if it was worth the fuel or not. I see its an OHV park, i searched and didnt see many photos of da place. and i got just one day in that area (N. GA ) to ride so i was looking for ya'lls recomendations. or input on Beasley. Ran Tellico last year, and wanted to do sumpin in Ga.

Beasley is fun.

I was over-matched there in my '98 Tahoe that made it through Uwharrie in NC!

I would think that a moderately built rig here would be essential.

Glad to do it, David.

I'm in Cali for several months, but my chief buds Spydrjon and Roverless back in Georgia might be interested in meeting up with you.

Spydrjon posts up often, Roverless, well, less so.
