It was a good time, man. I would love to head out to Windrock in TN when I get back from India and Germany. There are 3 badge trails out that way and it would be an easy 2 day excursion. Maybe we can plan on going in early March...?
It’s funny you mention getting stuck and unstuck. I was a little nervous until the winch came out for the first time. It’s very reassuring to know you can get yourself unstuck. After we winched up the first hill, it was nothing but fun.
Where were you guys camping this weekend? I’m always looking for new spots to take the family.Brett @UNC Rubicon and Shawn @chevymitchell Looks like y'all had a blast. Would have been good to try to keep up with y'all.
At the very least, I was with another Jeep this weekend at the campgrounds.
This was in Advance, Forest Lake RV and Camping resort. Mostly RVs but they have some tent camping and cabins as well. What I thought were Jeep trails on the google satellite turned out to be "Foot Traffic Only"
It was still very nice and quiet there, and not terribly expensive.
Its hard to find places other than Uwharrie to go wheeling. Most of the time its all State Property, Private Property or right next to the Neo-Nazi/KKK biker gang hangout...(Long storySo a quick story/gripe for my fellow NC peeps. A buddy of mine has a nicely lifted ,accessorized, and under utilized JLU Moab. Guy has never been wheelin so I thought I would invite him out for a trip to Uwharrie this beautiful weekend with a couple of other buddies. Idiot me didn't recall that they close the Uwharrie OHV trails seasonally and nobody else thought to check either. Drove all the way from CLT and turned around for the trip home.....Doh! Why the F do they close Uwharrie for the season?? I mean wheelin is a year round activity! So annoying!

Yeah man...I started searching around and the only real options in Western/Central NC for Jeeps are Uwharrie and Brown Mountain. Brown Mountain only has one or two trails that Jeeps can access. I'm interested in "Flats Park" as an option if anyone has any experience there.Its hard to find places other than Uwharrie to go wheeling.

Uwharrie closes this time of year for Erosion protection. With the rain and snow comes a period of thawing/draining. In order to preserve the trail systems, they need to keep vehicles off the trails until the winter season is over. There's a lot of parks that do this. Some of them only close certain trails and leave the easy/moderate trails open. Uwharrie simply closes them all.So a quick story/gripe for my fellow NC peeps.
