I'm looking at going this weekend if I can pull it off. EC is actually just as close for me as the rest of the area. I'm due north on route 17 just across the line, probably not even an hour out. We didn't check the forecast but the thermometer didn't move much all day while we were there and going higher into the mountain certainly didn't warm things up. I've actually still got my coveralls in the back seat.

I blew my rear driveshaft last night on the way home so she's sidelined for now. I'm looking for a ds to make it until the replacement comes in. Teraflex is being amazing on this one and really helping out.

It was a stock rear shaft. I've got 2 of the TF high angles on the way to make it as bulletproof as I need.....she's a daily driver if we're honest.

I should get off at 1900 tonight if all goes right. Its a 3 hr drive from the house to the other side of the bridge on 158 (across the sound). Still debating..... Or a 2hr run to the mountains and play all day. The time frame from the house to the reservoir on union springs rd., up to flag pole. Heck... might look for something new up there if I go at all.
Last look this morning had 110 people signed up for the Corolla trip. That is a boat load vehicles, and makes for a long day to me. I like the solo or smaller group trips.

Yeah I can understand the dilemma, it's only 45min to the bridge for me and its 4-5hrs to the mountains. I would much prefer the mountains but figured meet some new Jeeple and go from there. Plus we are going to stay a night at the beach, off season prices are amazing, $96 for a ocean front balcony room normally $200 or so prime season. On ce it starts warming up a bit I definitely want to camp up flag pole knob.
Yup. I out on this one. A 05 wake up, throw stuff in the Jeep and hit the road NLT 06 to hit the border station on time..... Not this time. You all have fun. catch ya on the flip flop.

Corolla has plenty of space for a ton of vehicles but all you'll do is meet folks down that way. I found an old driveshaft in the shed so I'll be back to functional for cruising around but I'm not taking this shaft any distance.
I've also got a wheel speed sensor to change out on a 2015 so maybe with the nice temps I'll just tear into that project and sling the hammock out.
Enjoy the beach jenks, shout if you find anyone down that way that's going to be a good time for wheeling. We'll pick a weekend and head out to see Bill.
