Looking forward to this trip, I don't have a cb only a reg walkie talkie, anyone else have a set of walkies they want to bring? I am extending this invite to the fellow NC FJ guys to see if they want to join us too. I know they are planning a trip on Feb 16.

I am planning on going up Friday night and camping out somewhere, I haven't scoped out any campgrounds yet. If its frigid cold I probably won't do the camping thing.

They have campsites there at Gulches. Is that where you're thinking about staying? They also have a little primitive cabin (more like a shack) you can use too. I believe it's got some heating and cooling. Probably one of those window units. You'd probably want to call and reserve a camp site if you're interested though.

call Skip this week, and ask him for the nice campsite that is down by the creek. its the biggest one, and the prettiest one. its either campsite 1 or 2. the cabin is wack unless the weather is foul.

I think I can make this one Bobby.....

All right that sounds great! This will be our first trip out since Joseph's been born.

One thing to note is everyone should bring there own lunch and a cooler We can eat lunch on the side of a trail or at aspot were we can spectate
What time should everyone meet up donw there? I read The Gulches doesn't open until 10:AM ?

maybe skip will let us cook out some burgers on the grill up at the house where the picnic tables are. . . thats what we did for the 4wheelparts even and it was a blast!!!!!

This will be my first time out to The Gulches so if we can eat at a picnic shelter that would be cool. I'm fine with eating on the side of trail to though, If we can grill up some stuff that sounds even better.

Picnic shelter?

Gulches is pretty small, so we usually just pop out to the parking lot for lunch. Or if not crowded that day, a nice spot by the river. You can get anywhere in 5 minutes there.

Seriously guys?

We need to plan another trip at some point. I have to work that weekend.

Which blows....

I feel the need to wheel!!!!

So is the plan to meet at 10am when it opens?

We haven't really come up with a "plan" lol

I'm still kinda waiting to see a weather out look to decide what I'm going to wined up doing I may camp that friday night, or may just drive in monday morning. But Likely me, Darklight, and Superman will be there around 10 at the latest Saturday morning.

Updated the list to add @MadToy . I emailed Skip yesterday to let him know we're coming. Haven't heard back from him, but I'll post here if I do.

List:
1.)Factory Ride
2.)Aha2988
3.)Superman3043
4.)Audiness
5.)Darklight
6.)cordrayj1
7.)MadToy

I say we try to get there at 9:45. The park opens at 10 and we should all be ready to roll by 10:15ish after airing down and admiring everyones rigs for a minute Anyone want to try and ride down caravan? I know PD (Suprman3043) is very close to me and Austin (aha2988) may ride past us as well. MadToy which route do you take coming from Huntersville, straight down 85?

Again I have not been to the park before but my understanding is that it is smaller then Uwharrie so I am guessing we don't really need any comms and all I have is a standard Walkie Talkie. If anyone else has a set they can bring that would be great though. This way at least the guys in the front can talk to the guys in the back.

Bobby

yeah I'll probably drive right past yall's area on the way down there. We could meet for some breakfast and trek down there looking like an inside out oreo haha
