Couple pics from a good weekend of wheeling at Wellsville.

CheapThrillB2 · Jan 2, 2013

I'd love to check this place out, been reading and seeing pics for yrs.....but the horror stories scare me a little.

92FleXj · Jan 2, 2013

X2.. I haven't herd the horror stories though.

Is there enough wheeling down there to fill a weekend?

All5ofus · Jan 2, 2013

I have been 4 weekends and am still finding new stuff every time we go. The place is 4500 acres of trails, rock crawls, super long creek beds,huge hill climbs, washouts and mud holes. . . . Oh and 100 of stupid drunk hillbillies to watch for entertainment. Great time!

92FleXj · Jan 2, 2013

I like the look if the river beds that's what I want to go for.

whiterhino · Jan 2, 2013

I've always wanted to wheel there.

1997XJ · Jan 3, 2013

Those trails look sweet. Nice pics

All5ofus · Jan 3, 2013

We have more club members going back the 2nd weekend of Jan 2013. . . If you want someone to go with.

Chrisholmz · Jan 3, 2013

Looks like a good time Paul. It's good to Jamie's old jk getting used.

firehawk · Jan 3, 2013

I am up for a trip and that place looks like fun!

jctnt1 · Jan 3, 2013

Yep - now I know I sold old yeller to the right feller

wheel'n it hard like it was built to do!!!

89yjon · Jan 4, 2013

Yep! I love it. It's definitely more stable than my yj was. The only thing I miss is the power my yj had.

I guess I will be doing a 5.3 or 6.2 swap after its payed off.

deathbypsi · Jan 3, 2013

Heck I heard it even came home with some broken parts!

CheapThrillB2 · Jan 3, 2013

Mostly where you park tow rigs and vandalism etc....

CheapThrillB2 · Jan 3, 2013

I wanna check the place out.

CheapThrillB2 · Jan 3, 2013

Thats just what I have heard and has had me cautious on going. Kinda the same thing for harlan on one side of the mountian. I got to witness that first hand and almost became a victim.

92FleXj · Jan 3, 2013

Breaking in to tow rigs? Is that what your saying?

Chrisholmz · Jan 4, 2013

Park at the hotel and drive. It's only 10 - 20 minutes and your at the trail.

974x4Taco · Jan 4, 2013

At this point with "Oaktree" gone that is the best option. I absolutely love wheeling there but not having a safe place to leave tow rigs sucks. I usually go every spring with a group of friends but likely won't this year for this very reason.

Its really a shame.....i have been all over (tellico, harlan, windrock, superlift, rausch, ect) and there is terrain there that will rival any of those places and its only half as far away....but the lack of structure of the place makes it tough to justify going.

1 ton tj on 40's · Jan 4, 2013

sounds like a most see place....

974x4Taco · Jan 4, 2013

No not necessarily.

Like i said i have been 4 times, 2-3 days at a time and had zero issue....my friends go 10+ times a year....no issues.

If you are wheeling with a group and you park your to watch/spot or whatever you will be fine....its not that bad.

However if you get stuck/break do not leave your rig unattended for any length of time....that's where issues happen.

A lot of the locals are extreme hill rods who's idea of fun is drinking beer and fucking shit up and they really don't care who that stuff belongs to.

89yjon · Jan 4, 2013

X2, just keep the tow rig at the hotel and you will be fine. I've been going there for 5 years and no issues so far.

89yjon · Jan 4, 2013

Oh, and thanks ben for posting some pics of the weekend. I have been waiting to see them! Got any more?

All5ofus · Jan 9, 2013

You guys have a great time this weekend. Sounds like you'll have great weather.

Actually it's supposed to rain on sunday. Sat will be good weather though. High of 60 deg!

CheapThrillB2 · Jan 9, 2013

I would really like to check this place out this yr, probably late summer early fall. All the reading i've done its suggested find somebody who knows the area.

Anybody interested in leading some buggies around to the harder stuff?

whiterhino · Jan 9, 2013

Depending on date I would be interested in tagging along John.

deathbypsi · Jan 9, 2013

Im down for a trip as soon as my truggy done. Been watching youtube vids last two nites....looks like a ton of fun shit to get into!
