Durhamtown Telico

Apparently during my absence from the forums, the enterprising group from Durhamtown Plantation in GA expanded

Durhamtown Telico is open. And yes, for us older folks, the name Telico means a lot.

Glad to hear that. The reasons it was shut down were kind of sketchy anyway. One more down, a bunch more to go

One reason heard was the impact to the watershed.......which is NOTHING like a watershed out west.

Recent reports had bulldozers building......a road for a subdivision....as if that is low impact.

Anyway, more on Durhamtown Telico:

Nothing yet that I could tell was Spare Vehicle rated...but this is the SE mountains....if not now, something like Schoolbus will be found.

I need to get wrenching!!!

For those that have never seen the legend that was Telico...

This vid from 4x4TV was posted roughly 2-3 years after Telico was closed. The SFWDA put up a good fight, but the powers that be were unmoved.

Both my old CJ-5 and my 1991 Explorer have wandered the trails in Telico, obviously the CJ did much more.;)

Road for a subdivision, I smell money influencing that closure

Yeah, that seems to always what makes the local governments get after those of us with motorized hobbies that don't turn left a dozen or more times.

I happen to like racing, BTW.

I like off road racing, used to do that back in my youth :D

I still have my hare scramble bike and my enduro bike, and raced three wheelers when Honda had that 250 with full suspension.

Never got to race the 4 wheeled stuff, wanted to.

It is more expensive, but I had a business designing and installing lift kits at the time, so the business paid for R&D :D
