Visiting Beech Mountain, suggestions for offroading

[coryc85]

Headed back to Richland Rd yesterday to finish it. Met up with some local Toyota owners, one from my earlier trip and their buddy with a really well built 87 extra cab. What a great trail! The first half is definitely the hard part, but there are several creek crossings and tricky little offshoots on the second half that are fun.

Stay off the off shoots, they are private property. Richland Rd is in danger of some sort of shut down. Residents there have had enough of trespassers going of the road on to their property.

Really? The local guys I was with said they asked the local sheriff and despite what the sign at front says, the road is open to the public. We stayed on the road as far as I could tell, but sometimes the trail splits and it's hard to know which is the correct path, but they always joined back up after maybe 50 yards, so I would take the more interesting offshoot. Hopefully I did not trespass, I never took anything marked as no trespassing.
