My first trip to Uwharrie was last weekend. I planned to leave at 6am and make the 3 hour drive, and meet up with SORA by 10am. I got up about 2 hours late, took the doors off the Jeep, loaded Raz in the back, and headed out. I didn't grab a jacket or gloves, but I did have a sweatshirt. Amazingly enough, it quickly turned into a "Thompson Vacation." It was about 45 degrees out, so Raz(my faithful sidekick) and I froze the whole way up there.
The trip up there went quick. Mapquest must not know that Hwy 74 is being turned into Interstate 74 so most of the trip was on a 4 lane interstate, with a 70 mph speed limit(the Jeep only does 65). Once we got there it was a great day. The sun stayed out all day and it wasn't too hot. We wheeled 2 trails. The first trail we had a Ford F250 Super Duty with us, so it was slow going, but he cleared all the trees and rocks with no damage. For the second trail we left the Super Duty and headed to a moderately difficult trail. Pictures are here.
I know there's been no update on guestMap in a while, but I promise I will release the next version before the end of the year. I am still having issues with it displaying in IE. If anyone has any ideas as to why, I would appreciate them.
