Uwharrie Trip / November 11-13, 2011

One of these days...

I used to go camping out there when I was a Boy Scout (I just live & work in Pittsburgh - I'm 9 generations from NC; the last 7 from Salisbury/Rowan Co.). Not THAT particular location, but I've crawled my '79 Bronco up in them thar hills about a bazillion years ago (late '80's). Folks out west don't realize how ROCKY that area is, 'til you show 'em. I used to "cruise" old logging roads down in the Nantahala National Forest when I was in college (WCU) in my Bronco (it was a cheap & fun date with college girls! ), but that granny low first with the B-W T-18 was a must there in Uwharrie!

Would love to get my old Ramcharger fixed up - with 4 1/2" of lift and 35" A/T's, it'll either clear the rocks or crush 'em - one of the two. Having been up in that country, I wouldn't take a Commander with less than 4" of lift! Unless it's paid for.

I've made every trail there in my commander bro not damage free of course but I was taking the hard lines We had Camp Commander there this year it was a lot of fun watching a convoy of commanders rolling down the trails. You should come out next time we go.
