| Hurricane Creek is awesome guys! Not rock crawling like Uwharrie, but still a really rocky trail in sections. MUCH tougher than Brown Mountain, but you can do it stock.
I have a few vids on youtube (problemcat). Here's one, before I had a lift, so I was worried about high centering.

| Oh, and YOU WILL get pinstriping at Hurricane Creek. But it's a beautiful place. One of my favorites. | |

| Yeah it was really nice. But like someone said before me prepare to get some pinstriping.
EDIT: I have been asked by some members on TW if I could make a thread about it over there to see if anyone else wanted to tag along. Are y'all ok with that? | |

| Subject: Hotsprings trail Thu May 03, 2012 8:18 pm | |
| Hotsprings is about 25 miles north west of asheville. It is a high country trail located above hotsprings nc. Awesome group camping for free and a cliff jumping spot. Great camping swimming and wheeling totally legal. Oh yeah a fire tower at the top of the trail with views over the tenessee valley and nc. I will be going to hurricane creek next saturday. Any one who wants to meet up on smoky park highway at the hardees by 40 I will meet u there before the ride. You call or pm me any time specifics yet? | |

| I was planning on stopping at the rest stop right before Hurricane Creek to wait for some people from TW. It is less than a mile away and plenty of parking. | |

| So where and when is the rally before the ride? I can't seem to an accurate agreed on answer. How many people are planning on coming? Is every one gonna meet up at the rest area, or at the end of 19/23/patton/smoky park hwy. There is a hardees and a couple gas stations, crackel barrel etc right off of i-40 The hardees has breakfast biscuits mmm | |

| The trail is super easy to blow past on the hwy. I've missed it before, and it took about 35 -45minutes to exit ride back to the previous exit and turn around and come back total nightmare. I would be down to meet anywhere just lemme know and lets get a count. | |
