Ahh, gotcha. I'll head to that area first!

Is that the one you have marked "Big Campsite" on Gaia?

Looks like a solid plan! I'll be heading up Friday afternoon (thinking about getting there around 6PM) since my back is so fragile right now and won't be able to take so much driving in one day. Anyone else looking to head up on Friday to camp out?

What camping is in the area? I'm debating about heading up Friday night so I can spare my back from driving so much in one day.

I'm really looking forward to this since I missed out on the last one!

I'll be at the Expo volunteering. Just got the confirmation email last week saying I'm in!

Adulting does suck. I blew the rest of my budget on maintenance repairs and new glasses...one day I'll net over 20k. I won't be able to fund anymore upgrades this year.

First weekend of each month works for me! I don't have places to suggest because I'm not familiar with where to go.

What ground clearance does Uwharrie require?

I post 99% of the progress I make to the Mercedes to my Instagram account (link in the footer) so check that out if you want more constant updates. Most of the updates are small, so I kinda wait until I feel I have enough progress made to do a large write up on them here. I have solved the...

GMRS is like the middle ground: its more complicated than CB, but easier than HAM. It can have a long range like HAM (I think the max is like 20 miles with repeaters), but has the limited frequencies like CB. HAM is popular because once you get a license, you can setup nearly whatever comms...

Ooo! I'll be able to attend that weekend!

Yeah, like I said I'm still waiting for him to get me the bulk of the footage. That's on me though, since I forgot to bring my laptop to get the files right after the trip was done. Maybe on the next trip he'll be more confident about flying the drone above the vehicle convoy while we're on the...

Joseph (my friend who tagged along) is still working on getting me the video footage he took on the trip, but I found one video which was taken on my DSLR of my ML going over one of the washouts on the road.

Personally, I don't mind driving to TN or GA for trips. I don't really have obligations that would need to keep me within a couple hours from my home like others might have.

Once I get some more ground clearance and some armor on my underside, I'll be more willing to go on harder trails like Brown Mountain/Uwharrie. But for now I'd like to take easier trails, maybe ones harder than NC105, even though I'm sure my ML is more capable than I am based on how it did and...

I think that is @JButtress .

July is extremely busy for me, so I unfortunately won't be able to get together again until August. Maybe by then I'll have new front shocks and performance brakes!

Glad to help!!

The HAM radio class I took was a once a week, 8 week class with the last night bring test night. Check your area and see what clubs are around and what any of them offer. At the very least, there might be some people who are willing to go over the material with you leading up to the test...
