    This was around 5 years ago. Coming up 52 into Winston hauling ass about 85-90 in my race red ‘13 GT with full exhaust.

    He didn’t say shit about my speed, was only concerned with the window tint o_O

    @JackieMoon510 & @Queen Hatchet Where do you want to go? Linville (upper Pisgah) and Brevard (lower Pisgah) have plenty of great camping spots off the FSR’s. Jackson and Swaim county in Nantahala are fun too. Check the Forest Service Interactive Map and filter for OHV >50”. That’ll provide the right info for backcountry routes with less people.
    If you’re near AVL, the Georgia Traverse makes for a good long weekend trip or simply the sections Between Hiawasee and Rosman . Hurricane Creek is a bit overrated IMO but that’s because it’s so well known that it’s not that wild anymore. That said, it’s still a hell of a lot of fun. Soaked and cold camping is always better than the couch.
    If you want data or a meet up, message me. I went to school in Cullowhee (same as my outdoorsy folks), so I’ve driven, hiked, paddled, and peddled all over Lower Appalachia.

    Do you know of anything in the NW part of the state? I'll be in Jefferson (North of Boone) later this summer and looking for somewhere offroad.

    @BARDENC Sure! But I am going to give you three potential areas within 75min of West Jefferson since West Jefferson itself is already 30min from anything.

    NORTH: Drive to Troutdale, VA and turn down 603 towards Konnarock and Damascus. FSR613 is an unmaintained (natural material) road that takes you to to Scales Campground. Its not difficult at all but it gets you off the beaten path and there is a wealth of great hiking trails, scenic views, and wild ponies to explore from the 'corral'. This area is in the Mount Rogers NRA & GWNF.

    WEST: Drive towards Mountain City and take the FSR's South towards Watauga Lake and US321. From there, you can continue on FSR's towards US19E and take HWY143 up to Roan Mountain. As an alternative to the crowds at Roan, you could take the FSR's up to Unaka Mountain and a place called "Beauty Spot". It is a well-deserved name.

    SOUTH: Drive towards Blowing Rock and take the Blue Ridge Parkway south to Edgemont Rd (Wilson's Creek NWA) or countinue on to Linville Gorge NWA. Linville Gorge can be accessed from two sides. On the Eastern half, HWY181 (Sunset Side) has several FSR's that connect. Alternatively, you can take Old HWY105 (West Side) which is a 17mi gravel road running the length of the Gorge. If you make it out to Linville Gorge, don't forget to stop at Louise's Restaurant off HWY221.

    For specific road conditions and route planning, I would go here: https://www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html and filter by 'OHV >50in'. All available FSR's will be displayed with clickable info on difficulty and status. That'll give you the freedom to plan a route appropriate to you (read: significant other who doesn't like driving in the woods).

    I hope this helps point you in the right direction and have a great vacation. If you need help with finding hiking trails or camp sites, let me know.

    Vacation home while we fix it up, after that not sure, depends on the market. Will likely keep it and rent part of it. It has an addition on the back we may add a bathroom to and either AirBnB or just keep for us while we rent the main part of the house. To be honest I am buying it so I don't feel bad leaving my wife all weekend in Charlotte while I mountain bike. :anonymous:

    Kinda hard to diag over the interwebs with very little info. It'd be like shotgun fixing. So many different things could be the cause. If he's a mechanic worth his salt then he should know how to properly diag. if not take it somewhere else.

    He suggested I have towed to dealership.... but that isn't a option right now due to $$$...... so for now, I had it towed home.
