What time are you thinking about getting there? I might be able to swing it.
I haven’t confirmed it with the guys that are going with me, but I’m thinking I’d like to be at the outpost by 10am.

I might be able to go too, depending on life and shit.
If it's the latter that will keep you from wheeling, rest assured there is a bathroom at the outpost as well as the Dutch John parking lot.

Brian here checking in from Raleigh, NC. Nearly all of the first 500 miles were on beach sand, but now mostly pavement. Would love to learn about any trails in NC.

Uwharrie National Forest is the best place for wheeling. There are other areas and ORPs that are hard to find too. Most of the land is state owned or private property... :asshat:

There is the HBY Trail (Hill's Backyard Trail) over in Rocky Mount. They have a good size property and let people run their trails usually on the weekend. They have a FB group, I haven't been over there yet but one of my neighbors have and had a good time. They get a lot of mud and say you need 33" or larger tires if I am not mistaken.

Thanks everyone. RM is pretty close so I'll have to check that out. The beach was great for a while (no issues - never had to air down, never got stuck...but saw LOTs of trucks that did), but we moved back to Raleigh (happy about that) and now I'm looking for rocks or mud.

Just looked at their Facebook page. Lots of mud, ruts, and trees. Not my type of wheeling but it’s nice seeing folks opening up their property for folks to wheel.

She drove all the way to the flower shop clueless. My son then says to her "what's wrong with your door?" Phone call...
Her - You need to drive over here RIGHT NOW and put my door back on.
Me - (non-stop laughing).
Her - I'm dead serious.
Me - I can't I'm slammed at work.
Her - I'm not joking.
Me - You're breaking up. Gotta go, love you... click. :)

@Dirt Tiger...I’ll be heading down tomorrow afternoon, setting up camp, then wheeling for a while. Then will wheel Saturday morning until @ThirtyOne shows up. We plan on hitting Dutch John Saturday afternoon.
What do you recommend for camp sites in or near Uwharrie? I've been several times for hiking and wheeling, but never camping.

Looks like dispersed camping is allowed except in areas that have “No Camping” signs. Do you do that or hit up a reservation/fee camp site?

I am eyeing the weather to see if a camping + wheeling trip is in the cards this weekend.

My research involved looking at this chart (https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3814678.pdf), but also interested in first hand experience.

I’m not a big fan of camping along the trails. Especially on the weekend. It can get loud and folks tend to wheel until 2 or 3am.

Last time I camped, I did so at Badin Lake Campground. We were right on the lake - it was quiet from sunset on - and a 5 min drive to the trails.
