Richland Rd staging area - Partial Private Property/closed

Can't make it up there this weekend. We'll likely do a camping trip up that way in a few weekend.

 

Let me know when, I'd be down.

 

Sounds good.

 

was just out there last weekend for winter safari in my stock offroad. i had no issues. alot of fun

 

I'd prob be on board also! Itching to hit some trails

 

I was too, not with the safari though.

 

went with a few friends of mine from raleigh. as soon as i hit the first climb i was like.....clearance clearance clearance!!! i need clearance!! got to play with my locker. all in all i was a happy camper and now time to save for the build.

 

Clearance?

 

oh yeah... smacked my frame in 1 spot. no big deal. going over another rock i almost high centered my truck. i want bigger tires but i need a lift so i can clear bigger tires

 

Yea, those frame hits usually feel and sound worse than they are. I hit my SOSconcepts skids one time I felt it up my spine. Skids were like lol what rock.

 

I'm out for tomorrow fellas, sadly I have to attend a funeral in Raleigh. I hope to make the next one.

 

thats one of my next purchases after a lift

Looks like you guys had a blast up there! Anyone up for another trip the last weekend of Feb? That'd be Feb 25th-26th. I'm thinking I'll camp up there, too, even if it is a bit chilly. Let me know!

 

Once you come out of Richland rd. you can hit the Blue Ridge Parkway and head to NC105 across the top of Linville gorge, about an hour drive. Free camping all along that road and great for groups.

 

Just

Be careful of the bears.

 

Never had a problem with bears, take all the proper precautions and it's fine.

 

Just saying they are there and the last couple Hammock outings in that area have had bears open yeti coolers, get inside vehicles, and generally walk through camp. I don't blame them, it's their home we're infringing on.
