Im game for a beach run. Uwharri is closed till April.

Is it too early for another trip to OBX? I found some people who couldn't make it to OBX last year so if they are interested, this would give them another opportunity.

Since Feb 19th is a President's day, people with kids will have day off from school at least. How does Feb 17 (Say) - 19 (Mon) sound?

August to September would be ideal time as far as air / water temp is concerned

However, it's not too bad at 38-53 air temp and 46 water temp --- not that I'm planning to go swimming or anything, but picnic on the beach might be nice.

Do I hear the start of a first annual Carolina Lost OBX Spring Fling? Those dates are free for me right now.

sassafrass! Me and my new job...

Oh wait, it wouldn't work anyway. No more KJ, I can deliver groceries anywhere!

KJ Willy · **Posted:** Sun Feb 04, 2007 4:50 pm

Do we know if this is going to happen?

I know some of us VA guys might be interested.

dirtykj · **Posted:** Sun Feb 04, 2007 5:24 pm

I'm going

I think uvalax is going as well.

The exact dates are still open, though. We could start on Saturday, go drive around, maybe come back late in the evening or camp it out if you are brave enough. I think we can see what happens as far as camping goes, if it gets too cold we just leave late.

There are some great cabins for rent in Frisco. If I go down, im staying there.

Do they have group cabins? Do you have phone numbers / URL where I can get more info?

Ugg · **Posted:** Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:29 pm

I'll be there wheeling with the Virginia Beach Jeepers on the 17th.

Sorry guys, got a booked month.
Need to plan things further out in advance. I'm a busy guy.

You better not have anything booked for the Fools Run! :shock:

You tell me. Tellico? Uwharri? Something new? Options are out there.

dirtykj · **Posted:** Mon Feb 12, 2007 1:36 pm

OK, I do need a firm count soon. We'll also need to work out where we want to meet. If it's just up to me I would go to Ocracoke, but that would be out of the way for VA folks right? If you're coming south from VA you would probably want to meet at Kitty Hawk or somewhere around there right?

Let me know, please.

We'll look into cabin right now, for one night only for our family. If you have a cabin you'd like to stay at, please share the info so we can can closeby.

EDIT: we booked one night at KOA campground, 1 cabin for 1 night.

Man I wish I could make it!!! But that weekend the wife and I are heading out to Biltmore estaste for a night . We are leaving friday and coming back Sat, I would be free sunday but the DAYTONA is on and can't miss it!! Next time around though!!

dirtykj · **Posted:** Mon Feb 12, 2007 1:59 pm

PVR?

I could bring my mythtv box over and we can hook it up and stuff ... shouldn't take long (ha, famous last words).

KJ Willy · **Posted:** Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:18 pm

Well I am still up for it, I can just do Sat. though. I have never been down thier, so I don't know much of the stuf either, but give me a address of where to meet and I can be there.

Let me know.

dirtykj · **Posted:** Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:52 pm

The URL here shows you map of the area. You can go to Google map to get better map of the place where we will meet.

I think we should meet in Nags Head somewhere, I'll let you know again where exactly in Nags Head we'll meet.

That should be the best compromise for people coming from NC and from VA. It's a longer drive for me (I've heard people say the last 1/4 of the route takes the most time). It should take about 4 hours based on Google's guess.

Let's plan on meeting at 9:00AM.

No need to get on the ferry.

Oh and KOA cabin rate for one night is $39 plus tax. KOA campground is in Hatteras.

I think I'm going to explore the towns and maybe see some shipwrecks on Sunday

Here is the info I posted on the OBX run in October:

Quote:

Ok guys. For those of you wondering about if we need a permit to drive on the beach, I found a site that gives all the details needed:

http://www.outer-banks.com/visitor-info/offroad.asp

Southern Shores and Kitty Hawk do not allow OHV's on the beach at any time during the year. Nags Head requires a permit but Kill Devil Hills doesnt.

Here is a map of the counties:

As far as the map shows, we can drive on the beach almost all the way up to Kitty Hawk. I know there are a few places that are marked off. Oregon Inlet is a great place to wheel at as well. There is tons of beach there to mess around in.

Camping: You can only camp in designated areas. Here is a list of camp grounds in the National Park:

CAMPGROUNDS NO. SITES OPENED RESERVATION CLOSES FEES
Oregon Inlet 120 04/14/06 NOT RESERVED 10/09/06 $20
Cape Point 202 05/26/06 NOT RESERVED 09/04/06 $20
Ocracoke 136 04/14/06 04/14/06 - 10/09/06 10/09/06 $20
Frisco 127 04/14/06 NOT RESERVED 10/09/06 $20

Also, we can have a ground fire as long as its below the High Tide mark. Hope this clears up some stuff for people.

So here is the real question, do we all want to get permits to go up to Nags Head?

For the guys comin from VA Beach, I can meet up with yall around 64 or 664 and make the rest of the drive in convoy if yall want. Let me know.
