EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA

I want to know that secret so I can get stationed there too. I'm going to LATMOV again and need to make sure that could be an option for me. If you're willing to tell me that is...

 

Heading up to the Richland rd nc trail sunday if anyone wants to join.

 

I just got back from Atlantic Beach, NC... I was driving on the beach seeing if anyone was getting stuck. How is the trail down there? Is there a fee?

 

It was actually surprisingly awesome. However, the creek crossing came up to the floor (with 35's and about 6-8" of lift) then there was a pretty tough steep spot right at the entrance that not many people will probably make it up easily with a relatively stock vehicle. I made it with the 4 wheel lockers and 35's but I scraped. If you can make it past that then its pretty neat. I think the actual road it lets out on is penley rd

Wish I had known about this earlier I would have joined you. Im only 15 minutes from the Richlands and about the same for Brown Mountain OHV Park.

 

Must be nice living in western NC. The weekend before last, I traveled on trail 1 on Brown Mountain. It was fun.

 

lol, yep my truck would have gotten flooded. I'm completely stock. I invested in recovery gear first and now I'm "focusing" a.k.a "saving" for a lift and tires....

 

We're actually going friday if you're around, and brown mnt sat. Friend is also going to try to make it in a stock rodeo… so this'll be interesting.
Do you know of any other good trails up there? there were quite a few good looking spots around there but it was hard to tell what were forest trails vs driveways…

Blacked_out Ill actually be selling my icon extended travel coilovers in a month or two. going long travel.

 

I was actually talking to the wife about going this Friday as well either brown mountain or rich lands either or. I used to ride my dirtbike at brown mountain all the time but have never been in my truck. It's mostly bikes and ATVS there but you can ride the main trail all the way to the top of the mountain. Hit me up if you decide to go and we can link up.

 

Probably won't take the bikes so they dont get shaken up on richland. Wonder how crowded it'll be..

 

That's extremely tempting... I would love to buy them but I don't know if I can afford those.

 

I meant taking my truck somewhere Friday. Richland shouldn't be bad but brown mountain will probably have some people on dirt bikes/ATVS. I'm itching to take my truck somewhere don't really matter where. I'm fine with going to either one.

 

A few picks of today's trip to brown mountain. Had a great time.

 

Just installed my front receiver bar by @Mobtown Offroad... I'm really happy with the product.

 

Oops sorry, ended up going with a friend from home with a stock rodeo. Figured wed be getting stuck pretty often so we opted to go alone. Turns out he did pretty well though.

Hmm I dont remember that river crossing at brown mountain, where was that?
I want to find some other places to go to. We had a blast but other than those two places (and uwharie being closed) I dont really know of anywhere else to go

 

No biggie. That was actually the first time taking my truck off the highway and it did better than I expected. I came very close to making it to the top of the mountain but one section cut me short. The river crossing isn't part of the trails I just hit it on my way home. It's only a few miles down the road from brown mountain park.

 

What section was that on the mountain that cut you short and made you turn around? I was there in December and just made it to the mud section where you took that picture, then we turned around and headed back down because it was getting late. We didn't want to be caught in the dark on the trails.

Just wanted to know what exactly made you turn around.... If it was an obstacle or if that part of the trail was closed.

 

It was about 1 mile past that mud hole. From there up it gets a lot rougher. I hit a point that my truck wouldn't make it up. It was a big rock that I was just wheel hopping on and didn't want to chance snapping something. I would like to go back and try it again. I think I could make it. I had the wife with me and she didn't want me to chance messing up the truck.

 

I totally understand... in that case i'm glad we turned around too. I had the wife and kids with me along with my buddy and his family with his jeep. Was the section you decided to turn around easy to do so?

 

I had the kids with me also. Another reason I didn't want to chance it. I had to back down about 100 yards to get a place wide enough to get turned around. I may take a day off this spring and go back with some friends and give it another try. I just bought a set of relentless sliders. just have to find time to put them on. It's a nice view if you make it to the top
