I'm wondering if there's enough interest to form a Ranger club (or gang) in East Tennessee - West North Carolina. Something for off-road adventures and fun runs, family oriented (though that wouldn't be a requirement,) probably meeting monthly.

I suspect we will be having a Ranger Adventure Day on Father's Day, and it'd be cool to have a few other Rangers along.

Thanks, and holler at me if you're interested.

Thanks for the response. I think you're about 3 hours away from the area we've been exploring, maybe we could get into something the next time you're heading to the mountains?

I'm in Granite Falls, just above Hickory. Definite interest here.

Awesome!

You're probably 1.5 - 2 hours from the state line, which is where we went exploring last time. (where the photos were taken)

I'm hoping some 5g members will have some ideas for new areas to go wheeling.

A couple of questions for you and anyone interested:
  1. Should the club be 5g Rangers only, any Ranger, or any small - midsize trucks?
  2. Should there be dues? The only reason I can think of to collect dues is to weed out the less serious, and maybe supply each member with a shirt/ sticker, or buy the occasional club meal, or pay entry to an off-road park, or maybe hold a drawing for a part for our trucks... bumper/ lights/ winch, etc.
Thanks for responding. Hopefully some Tennesseans will jump in here too; I pass more Rangers here every day.

I'd be interested on a part-time basis; I usually spend a month or more in the Boone, NC area every summer, and I'd be interested in joining in when I'm there.

Boone is a beautiful area. Any idea when you might be back there?

Right now it's looking like I'll be there in July, exact dates TBD.
If you want, holler back at us in July and we'll see if we can plan some sort of Ranger Adventure Day (that's what we call them).

You can even post here and I'll get notified, or PM, or however you wish.

Maybe NurseNeil and alan0614 could join as well.

I'm up for any trails that don't leave limb stripes down the side of the truck.

We've been exploring Wilson's Creek, Old NC 105, some of the forest service roads around Linville Gorge.

If you look on Facebook there is a 19+ Ford Rangers of Tennessee ran by a couple from east Tennessee. Crystal Brooks and James Schumacher if they are on here. They just moved up from Florida to Somewhere in Eastern Tennessee. They are always out exploring and they have 2 well built Rangers.

Hey y'all, we'll be heading down this weekend, staying to the end of the month. Probably need a couple of days to get settled in when we get there, but should be able to do something by the end of the coming week.
