My wife and I have a cabin near Glendale Springs, NC, just a stone's throw from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We recently discovered Darnell Creek and the trails surrounding the area. Darnell Creek is roughly 7-miles long and is a public trout stream that's about a mile down the mountain from our cabin. It has trails, crossings and tons of off-road obstacles, but just splashing in the stream is a blast. My 3-year old loved it!
Here are some pics from last weekend. We're going again the following weekend. The difference will be that I'll have my lift and 35s on then!
Enjoy!

I have a trip planned for Corolla in September and was hoping to maybe meet up with some "local" Jk's that could show us the trails there. I know my wife and daughter would love to see the wild horses, just not sure where they hang out and there are quite a few trails off the beach from what I've heard.

There's a story here, isn't there?
I'd love to go wheeling around Raleigh - I haven't found any place to go really nearby (within 30 minutes), so we go to OBX, URE and this place out in the mountains. I haven't been to Tellico yet, but have been told it's a great place to ride.

LOL - I was trying to save on GAS?
Rumor is there's this guy who thought he had his cold air intake boxed in, so he proceeded to hit the water logged "backroads" in Carova (north of Corolla, NC) at 20+ MPH. heard he had a great time until he hydrolocked his motor and ruined his week stay in Carova Beach.

Wow that is a story. I put the front end of my former Hummer into a deep whole on those dune roads back there up to the hood and thought I did the same thing. Ripped off the front tag it hit it so hard.
Gotta love that area though.

Tellico
I heard Tellico has been closed for 2 years - but then someone else told me some of the trails are open - can anyone confirm stories?
Tellico has been closed. It used to be my favorite place to wheel, every Jeep I've owned has made it up Guardrail without assistance, but now my JK will not be able to have that honor. It was closed for well founded environmental reasons. Sadly, the forest service tried to curb it but as in most places the sins of a few are paid for by the many (especially becuase of the ATV and motorcycles going around baracades).
