I've never figured out a way to accurately and conveniently do this either. I'll be watching.

Welcome from the middle of the state!

Great thread! It's thought provoking as well as stirring some old memories for me. I think its say to say I'm older than most of the contributors here and I grew up in a rural area where my father was the general store operator/garage/mechanic/welder. In modern terms, the community jack of...

Your expanding GMap is great!

I ran this route in early March and some of the side roads off this route were gated. The top portion of Table Rock was gated and will open April 1 so I hope the side trails will do the same.

Here's about 150 miles of mostly forest service dirt and gravel. It starts in Blowing Rock in case you need to supply with some expensive tourist type stuff and winds around the area including Wilson Creek, Table Rock and Linville Gorge. This is my first time of uploading a file so I hope it...

I've done a lot of the trails in the northeast section and will be glad to share info. What GPS system are you using, maybe I can create a route and share with you. I'm using Garmin and GaiaGPS. If necessary, I can probably figure out how to do something on Google maps as well.

I'm just west of Chapel Hill and driving a '16 Taco. Will be watching!

I'm in total agreement with Road in regards to the north rim. If the weather allows you to visit, you gotta do it!

Look at Wolfman Luggage. https://wolfmanluggage.com/collections/all-motorcycle-bags/products/expedition-dry-duffel-large I've hauled one of these through most of North America on a motorcycle. Unbelievably tough, dry and dust ,proof. Good product made in the USA. They have multiple, strong...

Thanks to all for the responses. Got a Blue Sea on order.

Thanks, I've used Blue Seas stuff on motorcycles. Maybe its time to go that route in my truck.

Thanks and I will post what happens.

Totally new at using an iPad for navigation and just completed my first 2 day trip. I started each day fully charged and tried 2 different cigarette lighter/USB chargers and one inverter/charger. None were able to prevent running out of juice after about 5 hours of driving. Using an iPad mini...

Good info, thank you!

How much of this is dirt?

Check out Metal Tech's new line of bumpers. I heard their owner being interviewed on the Off-Road podcast and he impressed me with his knowledge. https://www.metaltech4x4.com/search.php?search_query=Toyota&page=1&limit=16&sort=relevance&Make=Toyota&Model=Tacoma&Year=2016&category=451

Here's a link to more info on the Wilson Creek area. http://explorecaldwell.com/wilson-creek I'm getting a little old and decrepit for hiking but this area is high on everyone's list.

Depending upon the age of your kids, there will be plenty to do in the eastern section. Most of my knowledge of the area has come from a dirt bike but I have done it in my Taco as well so your rig will be fine. The road which starts just south of Linville Falls is known as Old Highway 105 and it...
