Tellico
Trails In November of 1999 I was invited to North Carolina to run Tellico National Forest by some friends of mine on the TJ mailing list. The run was to start out as a sort of pre-run invite-only thing on Friday and then on Saturday, it would be an official club run for the Central North Carolina 4x4 Club. Being my first trip to Tellico, having a small group the first day out would be a good way to get acquainted with the terrain. You can enter the Tellico area from either the North Carolina or the Tennesee sides. We came in from Murphy, NC. The road in to the trail area is very long and is 2WD all the way in. It's considered Trail number 2. The road is pretty much a washboard dirt road and if you don't get aired down beforehand you'll regret it, as we did. It felt like my dashboard would fall off at any minute.
