not sure about thomasville as I dont really understand where that place starts and stops but kinda on the way from winston to uwharrie, private small 10 or 20 acre plot. I wouldnt waste my time with a full bodied rig there

They only closed after I left.

Right, you were probably the last one to wheel at those places.

I only wish I could have been at some of the closing rides... When I moved to Seattle I had to read online about the final day of my favorite wheeling spots.

I miss Beech Mtn for snow runs on a yearly basis, Forrest Games for breaking a front CV, proceeding to break a rear axle shaft on a 8.8 on the way out. I miss Tellio for all the trails I was never able to run because of the trails I didnt get to run due to lack of experience and modification.

Man almost brings a tear

I have done OBX here and a lot of trails and power lines in Northern Michigan

I have wheeled at these locations, but URE is by far the most difficult of these. Most of these are pretty mild & just beyond being fire service rds.

NC----URE, private land near Cherokee, Fort Fisher, NC State game lands in the Sand hills near Rockingham.

FL----Cape Canaveral National Seashore

MO----Mark Twain National Forest near Branson

AZ-----Mogollon Rim near Payson

Planned trip for 2012 Breckenridge CO, Utah, Sedona AZ, Death Valley & areas in that part of NV.

I consider myself a rookie when it comes to wheeling. Surprised myself when I started thinking of where all I have actually gone offroad.
