Snow hit us pretty hard here in spruce pine, about 16 inches. Wifes car got burried, but, the tundra had no issue. I was out driving around and checking things out with largely unplowed roadways. The tundra had no issues at all and could not care a less about the snow. Prolly has a bit to do...

Im kinda itching to roll up Richland. Maybe one weekend we could plan to meet and go? @Junktj

I'm also right in Spruce Pine which is not super far at all.

One of the early trails we took. Lots of mud and water. Not hard by any means but certainly fun.

One of the more technical spots.

I have no idea, we found it by accident.

I got my first video up. This is one of the "non-trails". We found it by accident from a wrong turn and after we had progressed down it a little, the roadway got progressively narrower and offered no-where to turn around. So progressing onward and onward we finally found a viable u turn...

Will do. I think we all got a lot of pictures and videos of the trip. Ill definately report. once i get some time to edit the videos to the meaningful clips and sort/gather all the images ill post them as well. One thing is for sure though, there are a LOT of trails NOT listed on maps. The...

Did some overlanding on the Daniel Boon Backwood BiWay.

Heh, yea, its massive overkill for sure. My calculations put the failing of the 3/8" ss lag bolts on the track and that is about 10,000 lbs x 4 bolts... so yea, like 40,000 lbs is about where this rack will break down. Pretty sure the rack is overall stronger than the truck its mounted to...

For want of a kayak on a trip..... 1. Find out kaya does not fit with gear in truck bed. 2. Work on computer for several hours. 3. Get Very Busy.... Ill bondo, sand and paint it sometime soon. When complete, you wont be able to see the bolts and it should be nice and...

@tsteb112 Im really confused by your wiring harnesses. What is it you are intending to do there? The way those wires are linked is well... strange. It looks like you are planning to have 3 switches do the job of 1. If any of "this rows switches" are on then power the row. Or at least thats...

@SawtoothBound sweet pic. I googled your GPS and saw its only a 3 hour or so drive from me. How far in does that trail go? Is it worth a 3 hour drive?

Im going and ill have my friend with me.

@brianb2 No, stay up there! In fact, i think it needs to be elevated from a soapbox to a substantially high platform. I lived in NY for my whole life and moved to NC because well, there is no saving it anymore. Lets keep NC clean, orderly and beautiful. It wont happen without people like you...
