well shoot... too late but found what I was looking at before - there was someone using it either on MUD or expeditionportal, I just can't remember which.....

Found this to bluetooth to my surface.

Now I need assistance with longitude and latitude. They will give us a list and we have to plan the best route. Has anyone seen software that can assist with that? I will be researching tonight.

Wish I wasn't going to be out of town for this - I would have liked to have been there to watch. And if they can get their "maximum tire size" dimensions raised to 40" (one part of the site says 39"/ another part says 37") I'll participate next year for s***s and giggles.

No you won't. It also involves physical exertion. That's why I'm not there.

 

[jamesurq]

wait? So no outboards on the canoes?

 

[uzj100]

Yes. The 40 inch wheel tire combo should be interesting when u have to move quickly with your spare.

We need any tricks u can think of. Physical stuff is not the issue. People super familiar with Uwharrie have an advantage.

ive been practicing with the spare tire that I didn't get to mount yet. I lean it against one wall, then I stack stuff on it, and curse at it for being in the way. Surely that's enough?

Seriously though, good luck. Wish I could help you on the specifics but I've only been there a handful of times.

New info just came out. Have to carry everything including extra fuel. This is going to be fun. Will sleep well on Sunday night after it is over.

It's not actually on the URE trails, is it? I thought it was on the private land via UORTC. If so, the Darin and Izzy have the most knowledge in our group.

 

[uzj100]

Anyone out there have the longitude and latitude for beginning and end of each ohv trail?

Same for the UORTC trails.

We have been told we are using both.

I can't help you with that, but good luck out there. Rooting for you. Doing it in your truck? We'd love to hear all about it when you're done.

Not in my truck. My friend bought a 2004 100 out of Colorado that was built up by Slee and has front and rear ARB lockers. We might be the only Land Cruiser, not sure as I have not found a participant list.

Did find this book which will be helpful with longitude/latitude and UTM for each trail. Will post up data for all after the event.

I love the Cuban tag upfront. If you need someone to keep it safe.... I am your Cuban.
