US Southeast Musterground Mountain/Bad Creek Reservoir Trip

[johnniac57]

Not to derail the conversation about the next meetup, but here's some more GoPro footage. Come for hearing me say "fuck" when I see the washed out ditch from the last section of Musterground Rd. Stay for the heavy sigh after I go over it.

Haha nice. Was that a sigh of relief that you didn't fall down into the gulley?

That last section we hit was super fun.

Sure was. I briefly thought that I lost traction and was sliding into it.

 

[THorner]

I agree. That last section was a lot of fun. Added a few pinstripes to Rosie.

The trail had my limb risers working over time, but I definitely got some “stripes of honor”. To quote Jeff. Haha

Some ideas off the top of my head are:
White Water Center, as far as I know the food places are open on the weekends, however you have to pay to park
Bang Bang Burgers in Southend
Heist Brewery on Woodward Avenue

Are we thinking before or after Thanksgiving?

Are we thinking before or after Thanksgiving?

Before maybe

whenever we can get a good turn out

ok so potentially Saturday 11/23. This will probably have to be a "pick a date" and whoever can make it, can make it...or we'll never get a date picked

I really need to get a gopro setup like this! My dashcam is good on road but it cuts out and corrupts data when off roading...

I won't be able to make it, but I wasn't planning on attending the next meet up anyway since I'm taking an unrelated trip in December I need to save time/money for.

were the gates open at musterground on the NC SC border and on augur hole at the river?

Musterground was open, we were running out of daylight and didn't get to check out Auger Hole.

 

[JButtress]

Ok so I created the Rally Point for 11am on 11/23 at the White Water Center. Link is below. I sent invites out to everyone that I remembered the username.

I'm good for either...or both.

We never had a chance to explore Auger Hole so we didn't get to see if either of those gates were open. We were on Musterground for 6.5 hours. It was a little slow going because we had to clear at least 5 downed trees off the trail.

Put together a video with some of the footage I got with my Akaso Brave 4. Unfortunately, my battery died right after the 4th trail clearing, so I don't have the winching of obstacle 5 or any of that last section of trail.

That's awesome. I love the view from the rack and you had some good tunes there. Sorry about Berk... she's a little fatty and a predator of any snacks! She may be a LITTLE bit spoiled.
