    Dang...:pout:

    I wish I could make it but two people in my department are going to be out the first three weeks in August so I'll be stuck at work. There's always September!

    One word of advice... If you go this late in the year, bring some battery powered hedge clippers :sawzall: to trim the blackberry bushes and other brush back unless you like pinstripes.

    Nice tip on the clippers

    I have a feeling once i do the virgin voyage on the trail i will be back regularly since its just down the road from me.

    When you decide to hit it again let me know.

    You know Ima dreamer, and my heart’s offroad. I had to drive away high, so I didn’t get stuck low. Home Sweet Home...
    VG!

    GOT IT BOOKED, reminders set.
    I have rec. strap and a hitch shackle. Also, I have a gas hedge trimmer for the pinstripe control.

    The meet/convoy idea is perfect. Anyone got comms? I can spare two UHFs for this ride.

    TW has a post or five on pre trip checklists and stuff to think about. Going to check those out!

    AND Right is my official vote on which way to go... I like the idea of getting the trucks lined up on tha meadow for a group after pic!

    Awesome,glad you can make it.

    I am a bit ill prepared on the checklist items as well as comms.Just never really done anything like this before.I have some of the bare basics and that's about it.

    I agree,i think going right instead of left is the preferred way to go at least this time.Yeah a group pic would be cool,great idea!

    Anybody have one of those little portable air compressors in case we lower our tire pressure for the trail and need to put more air in once off of the trail for the trip back on the highway?

    B4E06B76-FD08-4D5E-BD23-CB8805E88FDB.jpg What’s up guys. I’m out of Raleigh and heading up to the Asheville area the weekend after next for a spartan race and I’m looking for a nice primitive camp spots preferable for the beaten path. Does anyone have any suggestions? The sad thing is I grew up in waynesville, never realized was a great place for wheeling it was. Picture for attention.

    For primitive camping we would be here all day. My favorite spots are Black Balsam (black balsam knob road in your gps) or Turkey Pen if you’re south of Asheville.

    If you know what you’re looking for, let me know and I can send you some more specific recommendations

    Are you talking about going up and coming out onto Max patch? Or the road that loops around back down onto hurricane?

    If I’m not completely mistaken here, they shut down all of those side trails with the exception of the one that takes you to the bog on the north end of the trail. Too many drunk rednecks tearing up all the side trail. It’s a shame

    I’m specifically looking for somewhere I can camp and utilize my rtt. I thought about black balsam but was under the impression that it was hike in camping only.

    Ohhhh okay I gotcha now. So both of those I recommend are out.

    You can go to MM 7 on I-40 out to Harmon Den. There’s a ton of camping out there and it’s pretty isolated so you won’t likely see many people. Decent fishing and your right next to max patch (which is beautiful) and Hurricane Creek trail that you can run in your truck. Pretty easy trail with some moderate obstacles. That’s all about 45 mins west of AVL.

    If you go south of Asheville (google map Mills River Rec area), you’ll turn into N Mills River Rd and that will take you to the main campground, keep straight until the road turns to gravel and stay on that road until you find a good camping area. There are literally 50-75 sites along that road. Also, along that road are some awesome hiking and biking trails as well as good fishing holes

    Stop in any outfitter in Asheville and get a Pisgah ranger district map. On the north side of the map you’ll see the area I’ve screen shot for you. That road is the one with all the roadside sites and the map will show you all the trails as well as the river if you fish
