This run was supposed to be a quick recon in the ’24 Tacoma Trailhunter — just a little taste of Dick’s Creek in Unicoi, TN. Instead… I left with soaked boots, a Tacoma covered in real trail scars, and a drone still stuck in a tree.
Dick’s Creek was running deep, and I got to see firsthand how Erwin, TN is still recovering from Hurricane Helene’s flooding in late 2024. Months later, the hospital is still closed and a lot of businesses are boarded up. The town’s healing, but the trail? Still calling.

If you’re into real-world trail runs with heart, mud, and metal — this one’s for you. Mods, gear, and plenty of water crossings included.
