  1. Nice Jeep!!! It’s just all depends honestly. That ride was in Royal Blue, on the west side of I-75. That area is mostly forest roads/trails.....some mud/dirt/gravel....and a few river crossings. The water can get deep in a few places. The east side of 75 of Royal Blue can be a bit more “wild”, and plenty more opportunities to damage your ride. I’m like you in that I don’t want to damage my Jeep, so I stick to the trails that I’m comfortable with. I’m still pretty much stock, other than put 33s on, as well as Rubicon take-off springs/shocks. With that being said, I’m comfortable on SOME trails at Windrock, but prefer smaller groups of like-minded people that don’t have dedicated trail Jeep’s. If you want to get out and hit some roads/easy trails, look on Facebook for Smoky Mtn Jeep Club. All of their stuff is super easy and fun. This pic is from the overlook at Windrock. .
  2. You are correct!! I call that exit the Scott Co exit......even though I know that’s wrong. Just like I still call it Lake City instead of Rocky Top!! Pretty area up there......you are very lucky to live in that area. .
  3. Yep!! We were!! We came in from the Scott Co area, off exit 141 .
  4. Went on a Jeep ride at Royal Blue today (about 15ish miles north of John). We were about 2,600 feet elevation and had to turn around. Trail was getting waaaaay too treacherous. Temps were about 28, and WINDY. .
  5. It was 2015. First winter in our new to us home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Because it's the "Valley Warm Nose" effect. Probably....don't know for sure. Haven't looked at models. Feeling slightly jaded after getting nothing in this last round.
  7. Todd Howell on WBIR just showed the in-house radar changing to snow in Knoxville around 6am, then quickly switching back to rain. I can’t remember which model their radar is based on. .
  8. Hey......I’m down in Fountain City....so between the three of us we have Broadway/Maynardville Pike obs covered!! .
  9. Stove......did you know that kid is from Coalfield...right up the road? I sent the same GIF to one of my employees in a text and she replied back that she went to HS with her!!!
  10. So basically just like last year, and the year before, and the year before that, etc....... .
  11. Until that inevitable storm front comes through and blasts all the leaves off like an industrial mega-leaf blower
  12. I can't remember a spring that has been this windy. Not breezy....but just flat out windy almost every day.
  13. The "end" is where most people start. The last time we did it the water was pretty high also. You should see the wave that we create just going through....even at slow speeds!!!
  14. To paraphrase President Reagan’s speech about the Berlin Wall......”Mr. Carvers, shut down this thread!” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. "Winter Storm Outlook For East Tennessee". I follow them also and get a good laugh from it from time to time.
  16. Sorry to be a curmudgeon.....but if it's not gonna stick, I would rather it just rain. Waste of good snow in Knoxville.
  17. It's finally changing over in most of Knoxville....so it should be at your doorstep very soon
  18. Welcome back!!! Well....welcome to the new forum. Missed your posts on the other one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. We can share a room if needed Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk
  20. We went through the tunnel a few weeks ago and the water was high then. A couple friends were talking about going this weekend - so I shared your video of the bridge to hopefully make them think otherwise!!!
  21. @Holston_River_Rambler I would LOVE to see how flooded Nemo Tunnel is right now!!!
  22. Current water elevation at Norris Lake is 1,003 ASL. Full pool is 1,020. Here's the predicted data over the next few days. It's risen two feet since 3am, so I would venture to guess these estimates may be on the lower side.
