I ll be heading down to obx in July for a family vacation. Is there anything happening that month?

Any legal trails I can go?

 

The 4th Annual CF OBX run will be happening either late July or early August. We haven't set a date yet but it's usually a pretty good turn out. If you hit up Corolla you go on some roads/trails behind the dunes. Not sure of anywhere else.

 

I ll be there second week of July, starting on the thirteenth.

Thanks!

 

I'm making it this year

 

I live on Hatteras Island.We have about 3 miles of trails in the maritime forest.
Whoops and a few sandy spots. It's fun and nice but not exciting.
Beach driving requires a permit (have one). At low tide jumping the camel humps is fun.
I hit a couple of local properties too including the go-cart track that is closed down.
As mentioned,Corolla has trails instead of roads and 2 spots to have fun in and a bunch of water holes 4-5 feet deep. That's 1 hour North from here.
Hit me up for an adventure.
Also have a home garage with welder and most tools and know-how for an XJ.

 

Awesome, we can get together and ride some trails

 

The place where I ll be staying at is at nags head, how far is it from hatteras?

 

Im in pa going down to corolla a week before Memorial Day and after. Ill be makin the trip hopefully more in July n August so I might be down their when it happens. Here's a pic from the beach house

 

Two more weeks before I ll be in obx at nags head!


Anyone will be in the area July 14-21?

 

30 minutes. Cross Oregon Inlet Bridge and you are on Hatteras Island.
Forest trails are in Buxton, another 20 minutes.

 

How is it? What's ur personal experiences with that place.

 

I have been riding and exploring the place for 20 years on mountain bike, dirt bike, hiking, horseback and in the Jeep.
The jeeptrails access hiking trails and singletrack.
There is 1 private road and it is marked. It's mostly slow stuff because of the whoops. There are some fast parts for rally style driving once a pass is made to check for anyone else. Mostly shaded too.
I rarely see anyone back there. Occasional walkers on Sundays. Horses on the back trails in the morning.
There is a scenic gravel road in Nags Head behind The Nature Conservancy. Nice drive with hiking trails off to the sides.

 

It isn't the kind of place I would get stuck? I don't have a winch

 

Not at all.
I only use 4x4 to make one turn. The rest is hard-pack and a little sandy. I do not even air down. However letting a bit of air out will smooth it out. A lot of it you could ride a bicycle on. You will not get stuck.
I live 15-20 minutes from there. The beach driving is closer.
I Have a garage and welder if you have any projects.
I just installed a LED bar inside the front bumper.

 

That sound awesome. Maybe we can go down that trail.
