Uwharrie Run - April 29th, 2006
Uwharrie National Forrest is near Troy, NC. The area has camping, trails, and a lake. Trails range from hiking, horse, to ORV. There are 7+ miles of ORV trails in Uwharrie. The trails range from easy to "OMG!! Did I just do that in my brand new Liberty?!?" There is camping allowed on all ORV trails as long as it isn't designated as no camping. There are campsites close by with showers and toilets. Troy is down the road from Asheboro and the only gas station near Uwharrie is the Eldorado Outpost.

This place is great for beginners and seasoned off-roaders.

What you need
If you plan on doing most of the trails at Uwharrie, rails and skid plates are highly recommended.
Tow points front and rear are also highly recommended.
You may also want to bring extra water to wash things off, because it can be either extra muddy or dusty.

So, does that mean you are in?

Whale nuts!! I was hoping you would go. The weekend of the 6th is no good for me (for a trip) it is the weekend of our anniversery. :roll:

I'd like to come play, but our KJ isn't ready for its debut yet.

We dont plan on doing anything too difficult

All Ben has is some factory skids and blue rock rails :roll:

We can probably go that weekend. We live pretty close so won't be camping.

Make sure you guys stay off of Daniel, I don't know if it will be as friendly after a month of abuse. But, you can always turn around at the top of the rock hill and head back down the trail.

Hey! I finally found time to say...

Nope, sorry, can't go. :-(

That is the last weekend of our honeymoon.

I'll be driving a Wrangler on St. Barths.

uvalax236 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2006 12:35 pm

Cant make it. Spent too many weekends in NC this month already. I need to save up for the next trip and mods.

Mutt · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 12:47 pm

Tell me more. Are there any hotels close? Where/what time are ya'll meeting?

All of my parts are hopelessly delayed, so I'll bring the stock Liberty. I've got to get out of the house and this sounds like a great opportunity to meet some of you. I'll have my whole crew, wife and three kids with me.

muser80 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 3:23 pm

The nearest hotels are probably in Asheboro. I think everyone is meeting at 9 am. The stock liberty can make it, just be prepared to do some scraping. I had that problem last time but not anymore.

Hey.. How old are your kids? I am bringing my wife and 5 year old along..

I found a hotel in Albemarle.. A nice Holiday Inn... It is 26 miles from Eldorado... That is where I am going to spend the night before driving back to Charleston...

Mutt · **Posted:** Thu Apr 27, 2006 1:49 pm

I have a six year old daughter, Destiny, a three year old daughter, Grace, and a one year old son, Caleb.

We're going to head down Friday and spend the night. We'll probably head for home Saturday evening, but we may stay over also, playing it by ear.

benmar2000 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 27, 2006 2:02 pm

Yeah.. I would love to drive up friday.. But I am going to go shooting friday night at an indoor range.. I have to test out my new pistol I got for my anniversary..

Got ot love a woman that lets you have a Jeep and a pistol... LOL

This is going to be cool.. You kids are around the same age as my daughter.. She loves to make new friends.. LOL..
My KJ is stock also except for some rock rails.. I am going to get a Frankinlift and bigger tires for it in July.. By then alot of things around the house will get done.. I hope.. LOL..

Mutt · **Posted:** Thu Apr 27, 2006 2:28 pm

My daughters are social butterflies, by the end of the day I'm sure they'll all be best friends.

I've got a Frankenlift and 31x10.50x15 MT Radial Claws on order. When my income tax comes back I'm going to get some CRS sliders, skids, and a Powertrax locker.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll Saturday morning!

There is a shooting range at Uwharrie.
Not sure what the deal is for shooting there. But, you can usually hear people shooting from some points on the trail and definitely from the ArrowHead campground.

benmar2000 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 27, 2006 3:19 pm

Yeah.. My wife and I are thinking of heading up friday night and spend it in Rock Hill.. Then caravan with Allen to Uwharrie... I might bring it along and try it out there.. But usually the shooting ranges are pretty full on the weekends...

My check engine light came on this morning. I took it to the dealership and they said that it was the EGR valve. No big suprise :roll:

They cleared the codes and said I was ok to drive it until the parts come in.

We will see everyone tommorow morning at the Outpost. We will be staged over on the left side of the store.

Cant wait to meet everyone!!!
