I just got off the phone with the hotel and will be sending out a PM this evening to everyone on both lists providing specific info. If you're not on one of the lists and would like to be, please let me know.

To follow up on this, after doing a little research, the "group rate" I was given wasn't exactly the greatest. We could actually book through some of the hotel websites for cheaper. I'm going to call back tomorrow and try and get us an actual deal. I would imagine that they would have given me a better rate stating that we would be booking around 20 rooms. Let me see what else I can do and I'll let everyone know the progress!

Thank you sir, but all I did was post up an idea. You all are the ones that are coming together to make this a great turnout! It's somewhat bittersweet knowing that I won't be in my own rig, but it will still be a good time. :honey:
 
I just found out that IVe to go to Florida that week so I'm going to have to bail. But I did sign up as a maybe for the pre run. I think I can make that.

Sucks to hear that man! Hopefully you can make it on the pre-run or another run this year!

Trevor I just got off the phone with nick. Room is reserved. Thanks again bro for all your hard work on this. This trip is going to be epic.
 
Put me down as a maybe, this sounds like a good time. A JKUR with 35s and 2.5 inch lift (no rock sliders) should make it through most trails there, right?

From what I have seen of Uwharrie you should be good to go just about anywhere.

You'll be good. Pretty sure Daniel is the hardest trail and it will more than likely be optional.

Below is some more detailed information about the trails. For those of you that have never been off road I hope to be able to use Uwharrie's training course to demonstrate the basics before we hit the trails.

UWHARRIE NATIONAL FOREST

ABOUT
The park features 8 trails that will challenge any level of driver and vehicle. The trail system ranges from easy to difficult and features a wide variety of terrain. The majority of the trails are made of up red clay soil and is spattered with various outcroppings of exposed rocks and boulders. There are also a good number of hill climbs and enough mud sloshed about to keep you on your toes. Some of the highlights of the park are Dickey Bell (the longest and most widely varied trail at 3 miles total) and Daniel (which takes honors as the hardest trail with its intense switchbacks and steep hill climbs), and the mud holes near Art Lilley campground. The trail system offers something for everyone and every experience level. One thing to note, however, once it rains in the park...the trails can get nasty quick...and some of the easiest trails quickly become rather nasty. If it rains, please ask a staff member which trail group you should ride with, they'll be happy to help.

The official location for this event will be at the Uwharrie Offroad Training Center directly across from the Eldorado Outpost on Hwy 109.
