And you better like Nascar.....
I only wheel when I head back to my parent's house and up in the mountains.

Closer to Charlotte is Uwharrie National Forest. Its mostly dirt/ jagged rock combination and gets very nasty when wet. It's a relatively easy trail system though, nothing a slightly modified rig could tackle for the most part. However, there are some rael fun obsticles there.

I live in Wilmington, NC which is coastal NC. I surf more than I wheel cause there aint nothing but sand and swamp mud out here.
HTH man.

Nixter said:Ya, I probably deserve that. I will say this though, I have never been to the coast out there. Last time I was in town there was a slight Huricane that flooded the Tar River.
Economos said:Yeah, hurricanes are a common sight around here man. I surf quite a bit and the last big significant swell we had came from Isabel - which BTW I broke my 4 month old 6'2 sqash Sharp Eye clean in half. It was solid 8'-10' walls.
NC Zuk, looks like some fun was had this past weekend. I think me and a small group of XJs are gonna head to Brown Mountain/ Wilson's Creek and wheel that little OHV trail system over Turkey Day. We've been camping up at Wilson's Creek for many years and I've yet to wheel that trail system, so we're gonna give it a shot - should be fun.

(funky ass name huh?). Once you get to Brown, you drop down into the camping areas through a system of dirt roads. Camp sites are all along the roads, most of which are further down the roads around Upper and Lower Wilson's Creek. There's a rye feild at the summit of Brown that you can practically see every star in the universe as well as some satellites when its clear. The roads are sometimes washed out pretty bad depending on how the season has been - last time I was there, I broke out my 18" Stihl atleast 5 diff. times just to clear the road from the ice storm two months before. So that tells you just how much traffic that place gets - not much at all. Upper Wilson's is really quite and there are some great camp sites there, some of them have tons of boulders and rocks to drive on if nobody is camping there - some have some fun entrances and exits too. Lower Wilson's is where most of the "day trippers" go - there's tons of river access just off the dirt road and its kinda sketchy to leave your rig parked there cause cars come FLYING down that dirt road and there aint much room on the road. The staging area is just past Space on the left roughly 5 - 7 miles or so. It's a pay system, so you drop in $5 and take a ticket or something and then its another 5 miles of dirt road till the trail head. Mostly dirt bikes and 4wheelers back there, but there should be plenty of room for us back there, especially on around Turkey Day - I think most will be hunting.

It takes me roughly 3-4 hours to get back home from Wilmington. From the Lake, you take I-77 to Statesville, NC and then jump on I-40 heading West till you get to exit 321 (?) which is the Morganton exit. From Morganton, its another hour or so before you get to Brown/ Wilson's Creek, but its all mountain driving so thats why it takes a little more time.
