there's a 4x4wire group i'll be wheeling with at Uwharrie Nat Forest (near Troy, NC about an hour northeast of Charlotte) this weekend July 24-27 (Thursday-Sunday) ... here's the link (7 page thread in Mid-Atlantic trailrides forum):

here's another thread in the mid-Atlantic trailrides forum about a 4x4wire group trying to gather steam for Saturday August 2 at Tellico ... i'm undecided whether i'll be going on this one:

from what jasonb_exp has posted it looks like the weekend run he was beginning to pull together for August 1,2,3 has diminished down to a possible Sunday run sometime in the next couple or three weeks ... i'll be on a business trip August 7-15 so i can't make it during that time

i'm going to Uwharrie this weekend, so i'll have to see what shape my rig is in afterwards before making a final commitment to an August offroad run ... i could possibly do a Sunday run on August 17th, but would prefer to go somewhere i've never been if possible

[edit] ... however, if i had my lincoln lockers i'd hit Tellico again in a hearbeat in order to try some of the more difficult trails

anyone want to bring their welder to my house after July 28th and weld my differentials? i have a pool, so you could enjoy a cool swim while you're at it!!
