Thinking about a NC mountains rally

[wilfreeman]

Yeah, we ride ATVs at Brown Mtn a couple of years ago. I HATE ROCKS! Like you said, the main road up and back would be all that the vehicles would be able to do there.

I think the Durhamtown place and it's trails would need to be checked out. They list easy, moderate and extreme trails and a 2 mile road not for RV's to just get to the camping areas so the big rigs might be out of luck. Again, the place would need to be checked to see if it's viable for the big trucks.

Who is near Telico? And willing to check it out? It's a 3.5 hr drive in a car for me. Closer to 5 in a Deuce on hilly rds.

I have not been in probably 8-10 years, but how bout Uwharrie ? Anybody know if they would let the deuces and bigger in. I used to take my M1028 there and had a blast. I know the terrain was not as rough and brutal as Telico. From what I remember of Telico that's some pretty tough going for the larger trucks. But again it's been a few years since I've been up there.

I was thinking of going at the end of the month to URI (Rover Rally) but never did register for it. It's a haul for me too, prob 8+ hr drive.

Punch in "Durhamtown Tellico" on Youtube.

I think a deuce would make it because alot of guys run the Rockwell axles from them. A 5tn might be scary, long way to the bottom!

1+ for Uwharrie! I can go by there and get info. I know they close trails over the winter. I will get dates.

 

[wb1895]

The trails in Uwharrie are not big enough for anything larger than a CUCV. No deuce's or 5 tons

 

[Beretta92fs]

Hey Scottd9990. If you do make it to Uwharrie, do you mind asking them if they would open the trails during the winter for a special event like a SS rally. We have a couple parks here that will open up for things like police training, scout camp outs, etc. Maybe they would help us out a little.

Just a thought.

 

[Scottd9990]

I will ask Uwharrie later this week about special events. I have only been on a few trails there, not sure about suiteability for our large trucks. It would be a fun place to camp out the have a beer!!!! I don't need much excuse....

What's the status here?

 

[Scottd9990]

Uwharrie is no go. I am game for options, any good ideas? Only place i know of would be in the Tellico Planes VA area, running trails along the Cherahala skyway.

 

[Scottd9990]

There are some pretty well known Dual Sport motorcycle routs through there, think a deuce could get through most of it.

I'm near Asheville I'm in

 

[Scottd9990]

Lets schedule something over the holidays.

 

[Travis89xj]

I use to wheel tellico trails all the time and they were pretty rough trails. Saw many hmmwvs not make it down the trails and if they did the sides were always dents and scratched up bad. I havent been to the new park but a buddy of mine just went up there and said they were pretty awesome trails.

Id be in for a rally there.

 

[stanky johanson]

Convoy from Good ole Barrow county to the rally?

 

[Scottd9990]

Ok so when are we meeting and where is HQ? I am game sometime during the holidays. Only time i am off.
