Who am I missing?

 

I am bringing Tyler- mini-est me- unless he backs out.

Need to get my new SOS gear dirty, too.

for the gram...

 

@PvilleJohn

 

@misdirection1982 you in town this saturday for a run? plenty of pics to be had for the gram

 

Dang gonna miss this by a few hours.

 

There is a gate at the NC/SC border that links Auger Hole to Musterground. When I came up the Musterground Rd side a while back it was closed, but I didn't check to see if it was locked. A fella I talked to on the way out said to check it, it might be unlocked. It was a real pain in the butt to back out of there on the side of the mountain. But Musterground is also seasonal like HPR, and would probably be gated and closed by Duke at the Bad Creek entrance. The rangers I've talked to all say that gate stays closed, but will neither confirm nor deny if it stays locked. This will be the first time I have been back with an opportunity to check.

TL;DR Gates may be closed, maybe not locked.

 

I was about to say this turned into a nice little TW party!

 

Sounds like an adventure!

 

Even if it were gated off at the Bad Creek entrance, there are some large-ish places that are setup for camping near Bad Creek where a group of trucks could turn around and make the haul back out through the Gorges SP entrance. That would be a very long, very cool ride.

 

Hell yeah! Been dying to get on some trails since I put the new tires on the taco. It'll be my first trail so really looking forward to it!

@JimboAnz if you want, I can meet you around the Charlotte area early and convoy out to the Holly Springs General Store, I like being early as well lol

 

Sweet can do

 

Potential rally point QT on 321 just north of 85. That work for CLT peeps?

 

Just so I make sure I get the right one lol

The one QT on Chester St. in Gastonia? Even though I've been in nc for over 2 years, still learning everywhere lol

 

This is tempting. Grout will be drying that morning anyway....

 

Yup. Gotta give that some time

 

I think so. Will do some accurate locating here in a few

 

Yep.

QT. 2305 Chester St gastonia

Looks like 2 hours from qt to holly springs store.

Lets leave QT by NLT 830.

 

Sounds good to me, see you then
