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.

I've gotta get some gas today anyways – I'll just go ahead and buy the winning lottery ticket while I'm at the station. I'll let you guys know after tomorrow night's drawing how much we have to spend.

I'm not going to be too greedy about it... but I wouldn't be opposed to just a second stock Outback for daily driving and getting the Appalachia Wander Wagon on a platform more like this...I've gotta get some gas today anyways – I'll just go ahead and buy the winning lottery ticket while I'm at the station.

A few FS roads in Pisgah close to Brevard - 1206 or Yellow Gap Rd, 5000 or Wash Creek Rd, 476 or Wolf Ford Rd.
Unfortunately I'll be at the beach the weekend of the 7th and then as of now if the next meetup in October 5th I should be available.

Ok, so Musterground is out for the September outing. I rode up there today and the gate was closed. It's a seasonal gate (hunting seasons) so it'll be open September through December and again in April. I can venture back up there sometime in September to scope out camping availability and maybe we can do it for our October outing.

Just dawned on me that Overland Expo East is fast approaching - second weekend of October. We probably won't do a trip the first weekend since we'll be doing a long weekend for the expo.
Anyone else planning on going?

We are debating. If we did we would have to camp offsite. Can’t afford what they are wanting for the “experience”.

I'll be attending. I've volunteered again this year. Hopefully it won't be a repeat of the mudfest.

We're thinking the same thing. The tickets that include camping are ridiculous. Especially considering that you're just camping in a big field. Unless you want to upgrade, for even more money, to camp in the woods.

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

Okay, so I drove around the Wilson Creek area for like 5 hours. I’ve got one track w/ camping. The whole area was oversold to me. Anyone have an alternative?

This is vague, but the Rally Point is live: Carolina Foothills September Ride
Kyle - @johnniac57 - sent me a recommendation last night that may shape up to be a lot better than the spot I found at Wilson Creek yesterday.

Just an update - we think we have identified a better trail! We will know for sure after this weekend but we have a target in Dupont State Forest that we are going to check out. Stay tuned!

We are...don't have a RTT yet so we're staying in a hotel nearby...stopping in Saturday

There are lot's of different trails. Many of which I saw stock mall crawlers running. Others were more technical than I would attempt. There are plenty of choices for most vehicles. As long as you are with other vehicles you will get the help you need to get around things or help in turning around.
It's a place that should not be missed. Lot's of good Utube videos to see what it's like.

I'm moving to Winston Salem the end of the month. After Overland Expo I'll join you on all adventures I can. Hopefully I'll meet you all at the expo.

Wilson Creek was more of a glorified camping club and less Overlanding. I'm fresh out of ideas though. Someone else will have to step up to the plate.
The only trails I am eyeing right now are more to the west. The Georgia Traverse is calling out to me simply because the eastern start is close to where I am.
