Hey Road! Unfortunately I don't as I'm not a water guy. My experience over the years has been motorcycle camping which has its similarities, stay dry, stay light. My earlier comment came from knowing a couple of back country river runners who have lots of skills and knowledge from which I've...

True but I've found it rough on my eyebrows.

Just a greedy bump for this thread. Too much good info here and I want more! Thanks Road and Plisken, keep it coming.

Nice compact kit! I have many of the same items but have grown lazy and seem to keep a pill bottle packed full of dryer lint which is impregnated with vaseline. That and a ferro rod is my go to for fire.

We arrived early at SMOR last Friday and asked about local rides. Someone recommended to go to Tennessee exit 451 off I40 and take anything dirt. The road narrowed but we continued and found several miles of good gravel road. Not really a trail like Hurricane Creek but interesting...

I understand your confusion. My posts were on the side of the less experienced and compared to videos and photos, some in this thread, I found the trail to be much rougher. My Tacoma OR has 2" lift and 31" tires and I drug a lot. IMHO, Wanderlost's post #41 is an accurate description and...

Or maybe I'm just a wimp. ;>)

Wow. It sure looked different Saturday afternoon with the second group from SMOR.

I would agree that Hurricane Creek usually looks like your photos depict. After all the rain last week, it was totally different Saturday as noted in the above post. His rig/trailer would have struggled and he was alone.

So where did you guys land last night? Inquiring minds want to know!

Chris, If you guys have time tomorrow, continue north on Old 105 all the way to Hwy 183, turn right and go to Hwy 181. Again turn right and go about 5 miles to a road into Gingercake Acres development. This will take you to Table Rock which is well worth seeing. There is a parking lot at the...

Old 105 mentioned above has several sites your rig will get in with no problem. From Memphis to the area is about 575 to 600 miles so you need to determine if you have time. Google maps says 10 hours........

A little additional clarification on my earlier post, a Series 200 with a little lift and 33" tires will do fine. There will be sections where picking the correct line will be crucial. Towing a trailer will be a different story in my opinion.

I agree with TRAYNC in that the trail was much more difficult than I had been led to believe. Perhaps this is due to my lack of experience but I've done Uwharrie numerous times. If you have lots of wheeling under your belt and if you have a winch and your kids are old enough to help, go for...

I did the trail Saturday afternoon with a group from the Smoky Mtn Overland Rally. My Tacoma OR is raised 2", has sliders and slightly larger tires. I drug in numerous spots on my sliders, frame, crossover pipe and trailer hitch. In spite of this I sustained no damage. About half of the...

Great info here and thanks for all the education. I'm having a problem in that when I am creating an area to download, the "rectangle" has changed to a triangle. It's probably something I've done but I'd sure like to get back to the rectangle. Help, please!

Keeping my fingers crossed as I may have a Go Fast Camper by then!

Many of us have the 1-2 lb propane bottles with us for stoves and skottles. Get a torch attachment and it will light most anything.

I've been registered since early on and was notified the schedule and details will be emailed 2 weeks out. If my feeble brained calculations are correct, that's tomorrow!

I'll be there!
