IMO, it's pretty fun, no major obstacles other than the optional Slick Rock (which, after your cross the stream for the third time, is at the top of the hill off to your left -- definitely worth going up to the top and checking out IMO).

I was up there about a month ago and the stream crossings were pretty high. Looks like Charlottesville got a bunch of rain this week, so curious to hear how they were this weekend!

Just got back from corolla beach. The kid and I spent about 2 hours in the water battling the waves. The poor kid got rolled a few times from some decent sized waves. The beach was LOADEDED with jeeps as well........

Sadly, most of the Jeeps there are rental jeeps, with no concept of things like the "Jeep wave".

Did you head all the way to the Virginia border?

We drove about a 1/2 mile down from where you enter the beach off of 12 or duck rd... You are right about the waving part, bit snobby up that way.... The kid and I had a blast... I even did some body surfing...

Sounds good, maybe plan for 1st or 2nd week of June ? I'm just waiting on a class conformation. I am supposed to be heading to FT Bragg for a week, so I'm hoping to know soon...
