Default Uwharrie offroad/camping trip, late April early May?

I know this might be a little close to the Southeast meet for some, and by all means if you had to choose between the two, Tennessee in June is probably the one to go to. However I would like to head out to Uwharrie again before hand kind of as a "warm up" and because it is a lot of fun. This of course brings three concerns. One, folks not having the funds for the Southeast trip and one a month or two before. Two, folks not being able to take off of work both dates and having to miss the Southeast meet because they went to Uwharrie. Or three, breaking something important thus putting the truck out of commission before June. These are all risks but ones I am willing to take. I want to camp at least once before hand and if I can wheel all in the same weekend then why not

I was thinking one of these dates: 4/19-20, 4/26-27, 5/3-4

What do you guys think? Too risky? Want to get in a "warm up" meet before we go to Tennessee? Can't make it in June and want to hit the trails with some other Rangers? Want to sleep outside on the ground and make s'mores over a campfire?

My research tells me that Uwharrie opens again around April 1st and figure later in the month won't be as busy as opening weekend.

I'm actually gonna be at Uwharrie in June with my 150, and a few friends with offroad Toyota's, if anyone wants to meet up. We make it a point to go every year in june, and camp for at least 2 days/nights. I'd come to this one in the ranger, but something tells me that my lowered, 3.0, 1-wheel drive ranger wouldn't make it too far out there, lol.

If you stuck to the access roads you would be ok, lol.

I figured that not much would come from this with the Southeast meet happening in June.

Haha, I can only imagine all the strange looks I'd get from people even bringing a mini-truck up there. Maybe I'll park the ranger in the bed of the F150, and then go wheelin', lol.

I should have the truck all put back together by then. I always end up there alone. Would be nice to wheel with some other trucks instead of just my dirt bike friends.

Yeah but I get this feeling that you and I are looking for a different trail difficulty level. I'll watch you go up Daniel though, lol.

Heck you would pretty much have to. I think I would have a pretty decent shot at Dutch John provided it was dry.

I bet that monster of yours would do pretty well at Windrock --> Southeast Meet Ideas

Too close to the Southeast meet for me. Would be nice to hit the trails two weekends in a row but I can risk breaking something without a month or so to fix it in time. If I don't get the change to go in April/early May I will for sure go in August/September.

Good for a free bump though.

Southeast Meet II! There is a place in SC I want to check out too. I think it is Gultches OHV Park or something like that.
