Cool, i'm still looking into ideas for you. I'll get back to you towards the end of the week.
I will definitely be there for this.
Very cool. Been wanting to do a late spring OBX beach trip. Really like some of the activities you guys have planned. Now I've got to choose between the ONSC Tide Ride and the Expedition Portal OBX trip on May 7th:
Ocracoke Island Getaway May 8-10th - Expedition Portal Forum
Have you guys thought about Portsmouth Island? Very secluded...requires you to be self-contained for an overnight camping trip. Also has a dune trail that runs the length of the island.
Let me talk it over with the wifey. It will come down to whether or not we can make the ONSC 4 day event or not...need to take son out of school for at least 2 days. Also a buddy of mine wants to go on the ExPo trip, so another consideration for me.
Will keep watching this post.

The idea did come up for Portsmouth Island, but the club talked about trying to do an event that would eventually become our signature, TLCA sanctioned event, and the remoteness (cost of ferry) might put some off.
Also, with the closings of certain beach accesses, we thought bringing in some extra revenue to the towns of the Outer Banks might be beneficial for both groups. Since the following weekend will start the piping plover nesting beach closures.
I'm also in the works for doing an environmental (sustainability) presentation about the balance of ORV use and natural resource management practices. That I'm trying to line with an official in the Division of Coastal Management, who just happens to drive a 60!
Keep an eye here and on the ONSC site.

Sounds great, I think we need to chat a little about the events and such. Maybe give you a call in the next few days or so?

This looks great, we would love to join the group but as always our timing is off since we will be in Hatteras the entire week before...

I'm there with the dog and wife as a maybe...she has a 5k that weekend.
Sounds like a trip! If nothing goes wrong between now and then, count me in for this one too. But with Gulches between now and this one, I'm not gonna even attempt to make any promises.
Always hated I never made more than 2 trips down there a year, now I have the best opportunity for a 3rd.

I hope I can make it, love the OBX.
If not, I'll try to get on the flight schedule that day and do a fly-by on Thursday
Here's the battle wagon shut down on the beach at Ocacroke a couple of months ago

Craptacular. Julie and I are unable to attend this one. Other plans have taken priority.
I'll be leaving friday morning from charlotte.... if anyone else from the area wants to leave then also we could meet before hand.

Just wanted everyone to know that even though I haven't posted anything about the ride lately, that I have been slacking on the job. Got some good kayaking trips planned, and nailed down some special guests. I'll post more once everything is final. You DON'T want to miss this trip...

Yeah, I posted that after the Canes game last, some beers at the Saucer, and a midnight snack at Cookout! Drunken posts are never a good thing...
Wish I could make this again....I have the time now to make the full drive up the islands. Unfortunately for me, this is the same month as Moab. I had already planned on driving out to Moab and hitting some bath tubs!
For those of us that have never been out there could we get a rough price break down for what we are doing?
I know for me the drive is about 340 miles there. How many miles are we driving up and down the beach and are there going to be gas stations out there??
How much do the ferries cost that we are going to be using.
