Dean, if we do go to Uwharri, you want to drive there Friday night and do some night wheeling before bed? I think I may actually camp out!

kolesy · **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:41 pm

Now I am diggin the idea of campin out! Maybe not friday since my wife doesnt get home from work til about 6 and uwharrie is a bout a 2 hourdrive of I remember from the last time. But I am more than willing to wheel saturday and camp out that night!

What does evryone else think? Any more takers?

Mike

Is this the weekend of Saturday April 12th at Uwharrie?

I think I would like to come along...

kolesy · **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2008 11:31 pm

Thats what we are goin for here I presume. The poll had 9 hits for that weekend so as long as everyone confirms to uwharrie its a go! :twisted:

I'm stoked!

Mike

Sure, I can head to Uwharrie on Friday.

The main wheeling will be on Saturday, if everyone agrees on UNF as the local.

If its not to late. If you all do this on April 4th week end at URE I can try to go. I have to work the other two week ends. I can only do one day though. I have to teach that week end. But I can get out of one day. :twisted:

uvalax236 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 04, 2008 12:22 pm

Looks like URE is the place to be! Anyone wanna throw the idea around again of doing the Jeep-Movie idea we had a few years back? String a sheet between 2 Jeeps and have a projector play movies onto the screen. Thoughts? Comments? Ideas?

LoganSix · **Posted:** Tue Mar 04, 2008 3:21 pm

All we need is a projector.
We could even just play any movie up on the top of the trail at night, away from the camp site.

I posted twice in this thread and neither post is showing. Do you have an address for Uwharrie or someplace nearby? If I bring the wife, we will need to stay in a hotel. Not 100% sure if we're coming yet though. Once we can get a hotel booked I'll let ya'll know.
