Prentice Cooper, Chattanooga, TN

WE went up this past weekend, August 25th, 'we' being my PreRunner Group on GA TTORA. We actually have a pretty active PreRunner group, and try to make at least one run a month, This place is relatively hardcore for us, remember we are 2WD... but check it out!!

NOTE: All pictures taken ON TRAIL in Prentice Cooper WMA. Legally. Any questions or concerns about the pics, please, let me know. I'll be glad to clear it up.
As far as a review of this place... I think its my new favorite spot for our PreRunner Group. Thad walked through everything of course, but Kevin (stock 1993 Pickup 4WD) had a couple of harder spots, so it can be challenging for the stockers too! I say as far as the places our PreRunner group has been this one is (I cringe using this word, for all the I'm going to catch from some people) but this place is hardcore for our group. :)
Some really nice ledges and rock croppings to drop off of (and climb back up) There are a few places to get off camber, and Cody took the oppurtunity to make sure he lost his web wheeler status. As far as challenge levels for a Prerunner (or stock 4X4) you guys tell me what you think on a scale of 1-10. I think everyone hit or scraped during the day on the rocks, and just about everyone needed a Spot at one point or another.

Anyway - I know you guys, so on to the pictures...

First up Matt's Video, showing us one way to get up this set of ledges.... AND the quickest way to unpack a cooler.

Hey Chris, nice pics, thanks for sharing. Looks like a real fun place for 2wd or 4wd. That's a decent size group you had also. :thumbup:

Thanks Chris!
yeah 6 trucks is about what we usually end up pulling together. This may be our growing spurt though. All of our regular guys were out of town, so it was just me and Matt from our regulars, and the other 4 rigs were new to the group, so maybe now we can have like 10 rigs. :)

It was definitely a fun trip. Maybe I'll get some sliders before next time..
