Man I've been waiting for this trip to get posted up, Count me in!
 
I'd be in!
Whats the dates?
 
We will be discussing this trip at the HAMOM this coming weekend, we will put dates to a calendar and proceed accordingly. We will need everyone's input of ideas for the trip so we can meet everyone's requests if possible.
 
Greg the dates were set already We decided on March 27,28,29,30 the weekend after eastern. I just found it on the last meeting minutes. We have to stick to those dates. As per the notes they were the best dates for all!!

Next is the logistics. such as meeting places, camping, activities and routes. anybody interested keep tuned to this thread. so far we have 5 people. anyone coming please post here.
 
I had a question about this trip. When I suggested it at the big meeting in Durham last month, I had in mind going over to the OBX, turning north, go through Corolla to where the road ends, and drive up the beach as far as we can.

I understand camping is not allowed on the beach, but I *heard* if you have a fishing line in the water, you're not camping so it's ok to fish all night.

Is this feasible for one night of the trip?

What did others have in mind, or what do you all suggest?

(Regardless, I am going, but will probably have to head over from the Triangle on Friday morning, and come back Sunday.)
 
Will it be easy to meet up with you on Friday night or possibly Saturday? I can take a couple days leave but just wondering in case I can not.

Also how does it usually go. Is it 2 days up and 2 back or 4 up, or is it a little driving and alot of camping? Just wondering as I'm a newbie to NC for the most part and have never been up there.
 
I will not be able to leave durham until Friday after 5 pm. So we will have two groups. Those leaving on Thursday and the ones leaving on friday. The idea is to meet both groups Friday night. Keep in mind that you can leave or arrive any time depending on your schedule.
 
I unfortunately won't be able to go as March is my busiest time of the year at work. (Maybe we can make some reconsiderations for next year. ;)) If you guys are making the trek up to Corolla, definitely check out vintage land cruiser tours --> Corolla Outback Adventures - Outer Banks, NC Tours Land Cruiser Adventure Tour Safari | History Ecology Wild Horses located on Rt. 12 (the main drag through town) on the sound side less than a mile before the road ends at the beach. Last time I stopped there I ran into a fellow IH8MUD'r from Virginia and exchanged a few stories. Anyways, I thought it'd be pretty cool for a cavalry of Cruisers to pull into the place and check it out. I didn't get to meet the owner, but I heard from the other IH8MUD'r I met there that he's a pretty cool guy.
 
I'm definitely interested...probably be in the friday group.

I'll know for sure closer to time but in the 80% committed range.

I've never been to OBX (new to NC) is there only camping? Are there places to stay near where we would be? I'm cool with the tent, but don't know if my wife will be up for it.

Thanks!
 
Jared, there are a great bit of hotels and Local Inn's throughout the OBX's. A majority of the group will most likely camp. Bt we are going to make this trip for everyone so even if a majority camp we will still have an itenary to meet those along with us, meaning we will have a time to depart each day
 
Sounding better each day. Who knows I may be able to talk the wife into it after all. But then I wouldn't get to camp...never mind...going bachelor :lol:. Plus I need to save the money until I get my diesel in.

By the way...how much extra fuel do you bring with you. I have never driven mine yet but considering I can't make it down the driveway without running out of fuel I doubt I can make it far on the stock tank during the day. Not sure if there are any long stretches I should be worried about.
