Sept/Oct trailrides in North Carolina

[CGarbee]

The M715 guys are going to get together in Sept or Oct for a ride at Uwharrie NF. They hope to get a date set in the next few weeks (no later than the end of this month).

They'd like to include any of us that would be interested in ride at Uwharrie since they love MV's of all types, not just the 5/4 ton Kaiser versions...

You can check out the subforum for the SERFE at:

http://www.m715zone.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=71

They have a poll going now (just started) to pick the date and campsite.

I'll be attending in my Cummins powered M37 as long as they pick a weekend that I have free...

Hey Cabell, I think to see the link, you have to be a member. I have sent links to the "Zone" to friends and they cannot get there without signing up. Anyone click on the link yet?

Cant get to the page either but I would be interested in attending.

Well, that makes things interesting/difficult...
I guess folks that are interested in voting, etc. on the date/campsite will need to register (the form to do so pops up when you try to follow the link), then scroll down to get to the correct forum...
Either that or just post up here and I'll relay the info/questions/comments back and forth to and from DP since he is planning the event this year...

Thanks for pointing this out.

The SERFE (Southeast Regional Field Exercise) will be at Uwharrie National Forest, located in central North Carolina near the town of Troy.


Date

The SERFE regional Field Exercise will be held the weekend of October 10-11-12. Dave plans to arrive either Thursday night or by 9:30 Friday morning, so we can get on the trails Friday also.

Campground

Unfortunately, the group camp is booked for every weekend in October. We will be staying at Badin Lake Campground, which is a USFS campground located right on Badin Lake. They have showers and flushers. All sites are non-electric. Sites are 12.00 per night, plus the on-line reservation fee of $9.00. You can reserve a site at www.recreation.gov Go to www.recreation.gov and select North Carolina, then for facility name put "Badin Lake Campground".)

ORV Area and Trail Information

Here is some info about the Uwharrie ORV area:
http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/recreation/uwharrie/uwharrie_off.htm

Most of the trails can be run, with care, in just about any Jeep or truck. We will start out on easier/milder stuff for the newbies, trailer queens, and restorations, then give them a chance to go back to camp (or another loop on the mild stuff), while others can go on to the more challenging areas.

Trail permits are required, and are $5 per day, or $30 for a season pass (season ends in December each year, so probably not worth it if you don't already have one by October).

You can get your trail permits at the Eldorado Outpost. This is the nearest store to where we will be camping. They also have hot cooked food, ice, gas, etc. Their website is: http://www.eldoradooutpost.com/
