OK I posted this on classicbroncos, hopefully we'll get a good turnout.
"I was thinkig - it's time to paln an informal wheeling trip to the Uwharrie National Forest September 19-20, 2009.
And as luck would have it, they also have a work weekend during that time and thought, I would like to donate a little time and energy to keep the forest trails open by participating in the work day, and thought other locals to the area might be interested in doing a little wheeling and helping out as well.
Word from the district ranger at Uwharrie is that participation on the work days has been so poor that they are hurting for help. They even had to cancel the August work day last weekend because of an expected low turnout of people. The work days are usually just a half day and ivolve mainly trail cleanup, fencing repair and other light duty activities. The rest of the day can be spent riding the trials. If you participate in the work day, they provide a free trail pass for the day and free overnight camping at one of the group camp sites for the day you work, The group camp is primitive camping and doesn't have power hookups, but it does have a shower facility.
For more information about Uwharrie, go here http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/
and for specific info about the trails, go here http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/recreat...rrie/index.htm
Post up if you are able to go, and we'll let them know we are coming.
