>>>>>>>>Uwharrie North Meets South-Part 4<<<<<<<<<<<

southerncruiser62 · 10-25-07, 05:32 PM

Alright everyone, we are approaching the 4th Annual North Meets South Uwharrie Wheeling/Camping weekend.

Dates are as follows: Friday, December 7th-Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Accommodations: will be at Badin Lake Group Camp Site A, it has electric hookups and is available for up to 50 people, I have it reserved for Friday December 7th and Saturday December 8th.

Directions: Plan on about 1-1.5 hours from surrounding NC Cities and 3 hours travel time from Greenville, SC. Anyone that needs specifics on travel information, directions, etc., let me know. Mapquest from Greenville, SC to Troy, NC:
http://www.mapquest.com/directions/m...&2s=nc&2z=&r=f

Communications: Cell coverage is spotty at best in the Uwharrie Mountains. On certain ridges within the trail network you may get service but it is still poor. We will rely on hand held FRS 2 Way Radios and CBs for rigs equipped with them.

Who Should Attend: Everyone!!! From stockers to the most capable rigs, Uwharrie has something for everyone.

Trail access: By the day or season. Passes available at the Outpost or a few other outlets. Locations, costs, display instructions:

New OHV trail passes for the 2007 season will be sold at the following local stores:
- Mullinix Store, Hwy 109, Uwharrie
- Eldorado Outpost, Hwy 109, Eldorado
- Swift Island BP, Hwy 24/27 and River Rd.
- Jake's Store, Hwy 109, Troy, NC

Cost of the daily pass is $5
Cost of the season Pass is $30
Passes also available at the:

Uwharrie National Forest District Office
789 Hwy 24/27 East
Troy, NC 27371
910-576-6391

Season Passes must be displayed on left rear fender for ATVs and dirt bikes, lower left corner of windshield for 4-wheel drive vehicles. Daily Passes must be securely attached to handlebars for ATVs and dirt bikes, or prominently displayed for 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Please respond with your intent, so we can move forward with finalizing some plans.

Look forward to having everyone out.

alkaline747trio · 10-25-07, 10:20 PM

Accords can handle parts of falls dam in all seriousness. But you wont have much exhaust left....dumb drunk locals make good entertainment.

little_joe · 10-26-07, 09:01 AM

I will be there, unless my trip to Europe is at this time.

worldcruiser · 10-26-07, 12:33 PM

[QUOTE=concretejungle;2674054]Great, another tow fest

I couldnt have said it better myself! Speaking of tow fests, I read youre post in the 80 section and if you get back and youre 80 wont start give me a call if you need some help, Im only a couple of miles from the airport.

Mtbcoach · 10-26-07, 08:02 PM

I'm in and I'll see who else I can scrounge up...

worldcruiser · 10-26-07, 09:40 PM

C'mon guys lets get a strong NC representation...plus this place is one of our great state 4WD resources...anyone who does not have a trail ready truck or maybe does not have a LC but thinking about buying one should just ride with somebody and enjoy the fellowship. Anybody interested in the LC legacy is welcome..and those who are not well they are welcome too!!

Trapper · 10-26-07, 11:45 PM

Since my 40 won't make it to Cullowhee next week, I will make this trip it's semi-maiden voyage....

FJ45KC · 10-27-07, 06:37 PM

I will be there!

YOTAFAN · 10-29-07, 07:32 AM

This sounds great! Is this open to non-members? How does one become a member?

Last but not least, is this open to day trippers (i.e. come out on Saturday early morning and leave Saturday evening)? I live in Charlotte and would love to make the trip.

Thanks,
John

southerncruiser62 · 10-29-07, 08:12 AM

Yes, this is open to non-members and day-trippers....

We invite any landcruiser enthusiast to come out and enjoy the weekend.

Eskimo · 10-29-07, 09:57 AM

Tentatively in...

Then I'm in. Just postup where the meeting point for Saturday will be and what time you'll be heading out when the info is available. Thanks.

I guess I should postup my ride specs since my signature isn't update. I'll be bringing a locked '96LC with a heavy/med OME lift, ARB, Warn 12K and snorkel, but no sliders...yet. Its almost Christmas time. I'm trying to see if I can setup some kind of group buy with SROR for his awesome sliders. If anyone is interested, let me know. I have to stamp out some details with Jim at SROR.

BillWright · 10-30-07, 08:12 PM

I'm in.

Great bill...Glad you can come and hang out!

LakeNorman_FJ40 · 10-31-07, 12:00 AM

Count me in...and I need to join ONSC!

Trollhole · 10-31-07, 07:33 AM

I should be able to make this one. I'm going to reccomend we get a group campsite. That way we can bring the UC canopy and inclosure and have a place to hang out if the weather is bad or balls cold.

Anyone know how much a group campsite is?

southerncruiser62 · 10-31-07, 09:30 AM

Marshall group camp is $40 a night, and can handle up to 50 per site. I will go ahead and get Friday & Saturday night setup this week.

Hmmm. You must still remember how cold it was during N meets S part 1. It was in the teens when we woke up Sat. morning and sleeted off and on during the ride.

BillWright · 10-31-07, 02:43 PM

Last winter it was in the teens and the Rymers and I were the only ones camping. But the days were beeyootiful and pleasant temps. I brought my circus tent and two electric heaters and was comfortable in the night. And Stacy and Eric built a huge breakfast fire for starting the day.

My question here is: Does the group camp have electricity? Water? Hot showers? If not then Arrowhead might make more sense. It has all that plus double campsites near the lodge (bath house) which would serve for the UC pavilion. And the lodge also has a nice wrap-around porch for sitting out wet weather.
Just my $0.02.

Speaking of scrounging up...I'd love to attend but is this only for TLCA members (which I am not)? Let me know and I'm there!

southerncruiser62 · 10-31-07, 05:06 PM

Great. Then add me to the list. I'm there. I've been to Badin Lake/Arrowhead a few times and loved it. So did my dog. Though she couldn't figure out what those two humans on the shore of the lake were doing. I'll give you a hint.....ba*ls slapping on a$$.

Yep, right there in the open.

Good questions. I don't know. I hoping someone will chime in with an answer. I think having the showers is nice. Truthfully we can put the canopy anywhere. It's not that big. I just thought it would be nice to have everyone in one spot.

Trollhole · 11-01-07, 06:47 AM

Bill it looks like it has everything. Except exectricity. We can always bring the UC generator.

Badin Group Camp was developed for use by clubs, families and other groups. The camp includes three separate areas each with tables, grills and tent pads. Two toilet facilities , water spigots and showers are centrally located to serve all three sites. A $40.00 fee is charged per site per night. Reservations must be made prior to camping in this area. Each site has a 15-35 person capacity. To make reservations call 877-444-6777 (toll free); TDD 877-833-6777; or visit the website at www.reserveUSA.com.
