Tellico Trails
Part I

Tellico
Helicopter Pad is infamous, as it is extermely steep and technical.

Sheldon Gardner was the only one to take on Helicopter.

The sounds, alone, of Sheldon fighting his way up were enough to keep the rest of the gang from attempting the hill.

What the photos don't show is the body damage incurred on the left side as Sheldon bangs and slashes his way upward.

The day finally drew to a close in late afternoon. The ride back to town took a few hours. Probably the only drawback to running Tellico is the long trips in and out of the trail system. Even if you think you're leaving early enough, you still manage to get out of the park after dark. Keep this in mind if you go and be sure to bring your flashlights!
