Hurricane Creek

Haha! Well, I suppose I'll try to go before Jan 1 anyway.

I'd prefer to have at least one other vehicle. I have some recovery stuff, but no winch.

 

Same here. I spoke to someone who ran it recently and I don't think we'll need it but it's always good to go with someone. Let me know when you pick a day and I'll see if I can join. The trailhead is about 90 minutes from my house.

 

Ok, we are tentatively planning on checking it out on Tuesday, December 29.

Paging @Gen2Tacoma , @Sprocket1505 and @synaps3 . You guys interested if we can make it?

 

I have to work that week unfortunately. If y'all can do a weekend, I'm in.

 

I'm kinda in for this.....is this a drive up and drive back same day? I can probably do the 29th or the next Saturday the 2nd. Agreed on the winch too.

 

Yes. It's about 2 hours and 15 minutes from us.

 

So is this a go?

 

I believe so for you, me and @FirstGenTundra . I guess anyone else who wants to go. My only hesitation is not having a skid plate currently. Mine is supposedly shipping first week in January.

 

You don’t need a skid plate on that trail. There is one set of wallowed out ruts at the beginning (interstate end) that you might bottom out on but it’s all soft mud

I miss running hurricane creek! I lived just a couple miles from there and that trail never got old. Kids loved it too

 

Bring the heep. One local trail I havnt done.

 

Man I’d love to! But 6 hours one way would be tough

 

It's gonna be fun. We got 3-5" of snow here in the valley and I'm guessing 8-12" in the higher elevations.

 

So, when is this?
I'll leave the prerunner and bring the rubicon.
I dont want to hold any one up.

 

I saw this on the weather. We can do this you still in? If you are.......... I'm bringing back up camping gear just in case. -15 Sleeping bags etc....@cowboytaco is working on it......Let's talk over the weekend. Stay tuned! I'm in!

 

So much irony in this post!

 

Yep. I'm trying to work ahead so I can take Tuesday off but I'm 90% sure I can make it. I don't think we'll have any issues. My only concern would be ice under the snow.

 

The plan is to go Tuesday. No one has mentioned a time yet.

 

See the entrance sign at the bottom of this thread. Have to be registered NC Vehicle?

That post is from 2010 and yes they gated a few side trails to keep people on the main trail.

no, you don’t have to have a registered vehicle. Yes, we are close to having that road shut down entirely because too many people go out there and act like morons

 

The sign post was from January 2020. The thread was started in 2010.
