BLACK Jack&FO,

Those boneheads at Tarheel 4WD center on N Tryon near Sugar Creek always seem to know about places to go around here. Also check with Andy at Carolina Rock Shop on S Blvd and the guys at 4WD Parts on S Blvd seem to have something going on every weekend. There is also a group called Carolina Trailblazers I think. And BLACK Jack my daughter just started babysitting if you are ever in need.

CoolnMB, I am in Winston near Lewisville. Send me a PM and we can hook up some time. Also, I am all in for Uwharrie. Took my wife and 3yr old boy down there a few weeks ago and scared the living sh*t out of my wife on the Daniel trail. That didn't go over to well. She got out and told me to turn around and take them back. So, to keep the peace, I took them on some easier trails and made her happy. I think she hates that place. Years ago when I was racing the NC Hare Scramble motorcycle series, I would always go down there to practice. She always felt left out so I bought her a little Suzuki DR 80 and taught her to ride. Well, she wanted to go there with me one afternoon. Oh my god, what the hell was I thinking. After that afternoon, I don't think she spoke to me for days, which was kinda nice. Needless to say, the motorcycle was sold the next week. Unlike my little boy, she now has this fear of big rocks
Anyway, whenever a date is picked, let me know and I will try to make it.

Default NC thread

Benmar2000, I actually went on a Monday so I wouldn't have to deal with the congestion down there. It was actually perfect, just a few of us down there.

As far as the trails are concerned, and I think those that go there will agree, you can find about what you want from pretty easy to rather demanding. Daniel is pretty demanding. Plus you need a spotter in my opinion. Pretty easy to bang your jeep up on that trail. I left with a little scarring underneath and on one wheel. The other guys can chime in but I would probably not suggest that trail unless you have some good trail experience, lockers and maybe a sway bar release. There are plenty of other trails to have a great time on without potentially tearing your jeep up.

Like I said earlier, just let me know when everybody wants to meet and I will try to be there.....Kent
