Bummed I missed the Smoky Mtn overland rally. Forgot about it and didn’t remember until a few of you posted. I don’t see a thread on here or anyplace else. How was it? Anyone posting their recaps anywhere? This forum or others? Thanks

I'm planning on heading out west May 18-20. There's a place near Linville/Jonas Ridge that's really cool. I'd also like to try to find the Ghost town in Mortimer up there by Wilson Creek area.

I've contacted a few members to see if they can convoy/link up. But would love to get up with others.

That would be cool. What area are you talking about near linville/Jonas ridge you are wanting to see?
Let me check with my better half and will see if we are free that weekend...

Spot down Forestry road 982 off hwy 181, it’s got some primitive camps sites along the Upper Creek.
Ok, took me a minute but I figured out where you are taking about . I usually spend more time a little farther North , toward the middle or top of the Wilson creek area.

If you are looking for very mild trail riding, old house gap road is a few miles above that spot, and you wouldn't be very far from Brown mtn ohv area. Both easy rides in a 4wd.

Based in Charlotte. Heading to Hurricane Creek this Saturday 5/12 to check it out for the first time. Then on to Max Patch to revist that. Then maybe head on to Wolf Creek Falls. Anyone interested? I'm riding a JK and going with a friend in a Tacoma who may have a few other Tacoma buddies join in.

Been to Uwharrie twice this year. Got a annual pass so I'll be back again and again and again. So much to do there and so many trails.

Went last weekend for my first time and enjoyed it!

I believe it just got gated either a week or two weeks ago if I’m not mistaken
So word on another forum says Richland road is not gatted, but some of the off the road areas are. The land owners have decided to not try to close the entire road as long as people are respectful

Oh ok nice! I was just reading on a fj group I’m on and they had put up some pictures of the gate and mentioned the hell some of the locals gave them but I don’t know first had. Was just going off a post I saw

I haven't been down that way in a while, just going off second hand news. Seems to me the people who live on that road only have issues when people are being dumb and destroying the road.
