    Roadtrip from Texas to North Carolina 2018 (Nemo Tunnel, Hurricane Creek Trail)

    We had a great time and are currently planning a trip to Big Bend in April. I'm not familiar with Paint Mountain, so we didnt make it over there. This was actually my first time to go that far east. The train tunnel was a fun surprise that a local friend told us about the night before.

    Roadtrip from Texas to North Carolina 2018 (Nemo Tunnel, Hurricane Creek Trail)

    Day 8 We were winding down and making our way back to Texas. One of the guys insisted that we stop at Rock City in Georgia . It was interesting to say the least, but not quite worth the price of admission IMO. Mia has never been allowed in our bed at home, this week was her...

    Roadtrip from Texas to North Carolina 2018 (Nemo Tunnel, Hurricane Creek Trail)

    Day 6 cont. We went back over near the Harmon Den area and found a small campsite, just big enough for the three vehicles. In case you haven't figured it out, Mia and I are best buds. Even when she grabs our firewood and runs away with it. She's also more than willing to steal your...

    Day 6 cont. After Hurricane Creek we slid over to Max Patch for a quick hike to a flat summit with a nice view. After MP we made our way over to Buzzards Roost to check out that view. Our oddball crew.

    Roadtrip from Texas to North Carolina 2018 (Nemo Tunnel, Hurricane Creek Trail)

    Day 6 we met up with some forum buddies from NC to run Hurricane Creek Trail. The trail was extremely secluded and was a nice easy trail for us, but a nice challenge for my buddy in the Tundra for two reasons. The first reason being, it was his first time offroad, ever. The second being, his...

    Roadtrip from Texas to North Carolina 2018 (Nemo Tunnel, Hurricane Creek Trail)

    Day 5 we hiked up the Devil's Courthouse, which was much easier than it sounds. The camp I had planned for the night was blocked off, so we made our way to Hot Springs, NC and camped by the river for the night. If you go to the restaurant in town, don't get the "Mountain Man" steak...

    Roadtrip from Texas to North Carolina 2018 (Nemo Tunnel, Hurricane Creek Trail)

    Day 2 we made it to Memphis, TN and had lunch at Central BBQ. It was good, but nothing to get overly excited about. Then we met up with a buddy in Nashville, TN where we stayed for the night. My Nashville Jeep buddy told me about an old train tunnel that you can now drive through near...

    Smittybilt Overland XL RTT-New product.

    The box looked a little rough, so I unpacked it with the truck driver. We chatted about the tent at my vehicles while we inspected it. Didn't have time to get the crossbars and ladder on yet though.

    Black Bear Pass in a 4Runner?

    I ran it last August in a stock Pro 4Runner. Been off-roading for several years so I felt pretty comfortable out there, just had my passenger get out to spot on the switchbacks. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/colorado-2017-in-a-4runner-and-a-renegade.175845/#post-2359422

    I'll look into the Honey thing. I'm going to Moab in September, so I just have to have it by then. I'll keep looking around.
