Went camping with family and friends in Uwharrie NC in November before it got too cold.(I know its all relative for all the Northerners here) Also, this was a last ride for us since the NPS closes the trails for the winter. 2 Nights of camping and one all day terrain association. Day started cold and sunny in the 20's but the wife, kids and dogs were excited to hit the trails. I was driving the 85 and my wife drove the 08 Tacoma. We met a group of Veterans and friends at the annual Uwharrie Veterans Day Ride Uwharrie Veteran's Day Ride at the Eldorado Outpost in Uwharrie/ Troy NC. This was the first real outing in the 85 so I was excited to see what it could do. The 45 minute drive predawn Sat morning was uneventful minus the numbness from the well worn seats and the drone of the MTs humming inside the cab. The 85 was lead vehicle, the Tacoma with the M101A2 was rear security in our 2 vehicle convoy traveling west to Uwharrie. My oldest was too excited sitting co-pilot planning our weekend adventures. He's never been a big electronics kid and has always enjoyed anything outdoors related so this was something that he'd been looking forward to. Following close behind in the Tacoma was my wife, youngest son and our 2 dogs- the Tacoma was packed down with all our camping stuff and treats.
