We took a risky chance on Hurricane Creek 

That's such a great trail, I look forward to riding it again with a few others.

Yikes😢

Yes, hope you enjoyed the views.

I definitely would do it sooner than later, with a small group of Jeeps it would be great.

We have that issue down here, the water blows out the soil and pretty quickly it becomes an hole too deep.

Thank you. It was a perfect time of day to ride that trail.

You're welcome, if you ever get the chance to ride the trail you'll find it not only beautiful but challenging in a couple of areas.

I would love to live in that area.

Glad you enjoyed it! We try to cover some stuff that gets looked over. Next up for us is a Orlando Jeep Club event...

I knew about the tree and rock and was prepared... Running with now lockers and just Nitto Ridge grapplers after it rained all night.. We I look forward to next year and trying some of the other trails in the area. I would do this trial again, even with the slippy stuff.

There are so many awesome trails up there.

@@FloridaJeepRides Yes, we are heading home now from visiting Chimney Rock, riding Old NC 105 and riding in Uwharrie National Forest. God spread a lot of wonders in that state.

We had someone who was supposed to go but had a Job change and was unable to make it.

Thank you 👍

So many trails up that way. We will be back sometime in 2025 fall

It was great and I would absolutely recommend it just not solo. Other than that one area it was a great and fun trip. Well worth putting on a bucket list

How was that last set of rocks.? Also I'm ready to ride that again, and some other ones in the area.

​It wasn't bad just gotta be extra careful. Also, you should come to Uwharrie National Forest OHV instead. It's approximately 20 miles of trail.​@@FloridaJeepRides

I just keep thinking to myself that expression, but did we die…

Thanks!

if its dry is all good. Just pic the line that fits your rig.

@@ZacCostilla well…did you do it?

For somebody who wheels in Florida all the time it was a bit nerve-racking. No room for air in multiple places. But thankfully most of the trail has trees along the side so you wouldn't go too far.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks. Tread lightly.

We watched multiple videos before going. And it seems like there are several areas that progressively are getting a little more like an obstacle. But still I would love to do that trail again.

Thanks

Send me a pm or email us floridajeeprides@gmail

Thank you so very much, Randy said she doesn't want to do that trail again, me I'm ready to go with a group and do it again. As long as it's not wet and slippery

There were a lot of trucks on the Hwy.

What's the link to the page ?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LTc1vcg_ffA.htmlsi=83CKItsr2YMNlXrw We didn't video much, just the 2 well known obstacles. I've got an auto locker up front and an air locker in the back so with that, the short wheelbase and the 2500lbs weight it makes most everything look easy

Thanks 😁 It was a vey cool place to ride. Had it been dry and not slippery it would have been a less stress ride.

Thanks!

That's the same thought I had. It's natural and peaceful.

We may return in late October 2024... Watch our facebook page.

@@FloridaJeepRides will do 👍

It would be fun.

Not much here in the way of big hills let alone mountains

@@FloridaJeepRides can't wait for the chance to "explore" some of our local trails with you guys.🤙

Thanks!! Ready to head out that way and ride some to the west side.

We are signed up to lead stock trails. Looking forward to the event.

I did it with 33s but right now it's been smoothed out and all the great stuff is gone ... for now.

We had 33s from Nitto on that day. With a 3 1/2 " lift. I just put the 35" Patagonia's on for the rest of the month.

Yep... We don't have much in the way of hills let alone mountains.

I would love to plan a trip up that way.

We had planned to do some of the trails Where Hurricane Creek ended, but it took us over five hours to do the trail because we stopped and filmed quite often. Next trip around

We would love to ride that trail again but not sure when we will get back up that way. Normally it's an October visit every other year.

There are other bigger things them beas and big cats living in them mountains by max patch and spring creek areas in Madison county,nc. I know cryptid researchers who have going 18" long foot prints that were 11" across the toes and 8" across the heel! There were more logging roads you could have driven on that take off from that max patch road. I plan on going back up there soon yo drive on those other logging roads. Now max patch toad would have run you north into hwy 107 that comes out on Del Rio onto hqy 25 which will run you either east to hit springs or you can honest on hwt 25 back into newport,tn. Driving up to max patch right before to get yo the parking lot if you look yo tour kept you will see the cowboy camping site for the AT and a firestry roadhouse can drive back down the mountain side. You can also take Waterville exit off interstate 40 and drive up green corner road ( gravel rd) up to turn right onto big creek rd. Then follow that road to turn right onto gulf road which you will drive on all the way up to max patch. Qolf creek road is another good mountain logging road you can het too off upper shut road out of hwy 25 and hot springs.

It was risky and on a wet Hwy that morning as well. We followed advice and prepared for turning at that sign. So ready to ride that again

Not at that time. I need to get a disconnect or a antirock put in. Now that the ABS is fixed we can get the lockers and gearing done.

@@FloridaJeepRides I wish I had lockers. I have open diff but I do have swaybar disconnect, 2 1/2 inch lift on 33s so you definitely gave me some confidence after watching your video and some caution lol thanks again.

We have wheeled slightly modified for the last few years. a small lift and 33" tire is fine for what we do. It takes us most places with no issues. The 95 and 97 each have 31s and do good.

They're not too bad, compared to the Patagonia's I had before. They just don't have too deep of a tread.

That's a pretty good question, I think it might get really tight in some areas. But if you search RU-vid you might find where some people took full-size trucks down in there.

As a local to the area I would say you could do it, but I wouldn’t advise it. It feels tight in our Hummer H3 and Xterra. The biggest truck I’ve seen come through it relatively okay without tearing up the trail was a 1500 Rebel, but it came out with trail damage. These trails aren’t really meant for trucks that size.

One of the most beautiful trails I've ever been on. And the timing was perfect it would be even better if you could catch that trail during the peak fall leaf season.

We recently got a. It off trail in Ocala - most forestry people see that you are stopping and trying to find the track. We use Gaia, ONx, Avenza, and trails offroad.

Randi is no spotter... but she did keep me from slipping on a ledge... time for some spotter lessons.
