Nice! Hope you guys can make it out w/ us. I think Derrick has my #. He had tried to call me once but it was when I had fried my phone. I now have another with the same #. If you or he wants when getting close you can give me a call (if you two make it) and we'll see where we'll meet you guys up there at.

 

hey i was up at nelson county (bottom of wintergreen reesort) and had asked a few locals what they knew about shoe creek and had a few say that only atv or dirt bikes were allowed their?? unless you had special permit/permission from the county or something? anyone know any info to support or deny this?

 

i was there this past summer. my atv said jeep in the front. and my special permit was the smirk on my face. don't know if anything has changed since then, but i doubt it.

 

Posted up on my other forum about the ride. Gotta put some u-joints in my axleshafts and I can roll. Can you give me some pics I can copy and post for the interested parties on NC4x4?

 

Actually Shoe Creek is the other way around. They don't allow any atvs (fourwheelers, dirtbikes). We've (the group I'm in locally) have worked with the Peddler Mills ranger station to do trail cleanups on the trail system. I've seen rangers running through the trails and never been asked to leave, show a pass, or anything.

Sure they didn't say that only atvs, dirtbikes were allowed with special passes? Most of the people I talk to in that area assume that "4 wheeling", "off roading", "trail riding" is only done on atvs or dirtbikes. They look shocked when I tell them in a vehicle.

 

Sure, I'll pm them to ya.

 

Thanks for the pics, heres some of the Triad Trail Junkies in Action

 

Damn Jason how are you gonna ***** us out like that? Lol

I feel that a sunday trail ride is not too likely for our group, 2 hours is a bit too long of a drive for a day trip in my opinion, but thats just me, I like camping.

Jason has posted a thread in our club forum, so there will be some feedback soon and I am sure some of the group will be interested. Also I don't know alot about Shoe Creek right now, but I will do a bit of a read up tomorrow.

Thanks for the invite.

LOL! Nice! I take it the pics worked? They aren't the best pics in the world and a few were kinda old as I lost a bunch when my comp. craped out on me.

Well if any of your group decide to come up sometime, I'm only 30 - 40 mins from the trail head and our group is up there right much. During the warmer weather were up there almost every weekend. Feel free to pm me anytime about running!

 

thats why we were thinking about going saturday and camping that night if we can make it.

 

Sounds good. I'd love to camp. I take it, it's primitive camping?

 

id love to head up. wheres this at? and where would we be meetin at?

 

x2 on "where should we meet" cuz im down to go since its open trail

 

So far. My wife and I, a TJ, and a guy from work. Trying to find a fullsize trailer, might tow mine with my wifes Jeep. Just in case

 

I know that the group that rides out from here locally usually meet here at my place and we ride out. Depending on where you all are from you could meet us here. Also depending on where you are, there is a food lion not to far from the trail head we could meet up at.

Please feel free to pm me with any questions, directions or anything.
