Driving, without stopping to see stuff? Starting at 8am, you should be able to make it to Eton by 8pm that night.
Most all of the "technical" sections are closed or have now been re-graded to proper maintenance levels.
Dicks Creek, which was what you would take from 76 down to Moccasin State...
If you're concerned about the terrain, you will have no issue.
Shouldn't be too bad storage wise, especially if you wanted to stop along the way at the little stores.
Just do everything east of Ellijay. If you wait until the 12th-13th of OCT you will be passing by when they have the Apple...
Look online and Call the rangers to get a list of closed roads as there are many on the route, Including the one that most people post photos of ( Tray Mnt to Chimney Mountain Section)
Campsites are pretty easy to come by (for the most part), I wouldn't recommend any of the commercial sites...
Some trails may still be seasonally closed.
Check their website as some roads (Dicks Creek, Chimney to Tray Mnt Road) are closed and may be closed indefinitely.
Good time to go, usually nice weather.
Checkout the swinging bridge, its neat.
You're coming right about the time Trout stocking...
Just a heads up for you guys still planning on going. Tray Mountain, the FSR79 part. Is still closed, yes people keep stealing the signs and riding it anyways.
It has been closed since around March of 2018.
If you're looking for the notice, call the rangers office. Sometimes this link works...
Contact this guy, he created the route.
He likes to be the one to hand out the GPX file, Im sure its so that he can give it updates and not have people riding where they shouldn't be.

Kentucky Adventure Tour. 1k Miles, KY, small loop in TN and it runs some VA and WV boundaries.
Multiple routes, its always changing. So the GPX is updated often by Jeff Stoess, he takes paypal donations, in which he gives out stickers as well.
On the GT, I've only ever had to use a strap to pull my land rover out of one of our camps. But that was only because it was loaded down and I didn't have the bump stops installed yet, so the rear would jam into the wells when I had to get out of a rut. Other than that, we have just had smooth...
Several, Check their site. https://www.fs.usda.gov/conf
Tray Mnt/Chimney is closed, probably for good/a while.

It doesnt take very long. Maybe 5 hours at most?
The lower section of the loop took us about an hour and a half stopping twice. Id estimate a 2hr time for the lower and 2.5 for the top at a moderate pace.
Checkout the Forest Service page, there are some road closures right now there. and then...
You don't need sliders.
Most of the trails are just high clearance/gravel forest roads. Your tacoma will handle it all fine. Its hard to find a place more than 60 miles from civilization or someone in general.
If you're going to end in Ashville , then explore. Take a drive down the blue ridge...
You're fine in a full size, its all forest roads. Graded gravel roads for the most part.
Run it either East to west, or west to east. Skip everything west of Eton, GA.
Spend more time exploring side roads on the eastern portions.
Double check all of the road closures before you go.
Be...
Water to Water heat exchange, I use one for my camp shower. It gets boiling hot if you don't have a mixing valve.
You don't need to wait long to get some hot water, It takes just two or three minutes for the Heat exchange to get to 140°
Ayeee, Someone else who figured it out haha. I used some server slides for mine as well!
I used a set of old slides from a dell. Works well for my fridge.
