The 3rd Annual Beasley Bash hosted by the Georgia Cruisers specifically for Toyota 4WD vehicles.

Sept 11-13, 2009

Beasley Bash 2009 promises to be a great event and even bigger than last years Bash 08. This year we expect upwards of 60 people and 45 trucks to run the steep hills and obstacles that Beasley Knob OHV has become known for. Last year was such a blast with more than 30 people around the campfire we just had to do it again. Again this year we're going to have our private campsite, a catered BBQ dinner (by Rib Country) and tons of Raffle Prizes.
