    OK here is a link to my photos on Dropbox. It will be available for 7 days, download anything you want to keep. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mp15tq84k4799op/AADkx0zP7kV8rt3yhIroxOq9a?dl=0 In one of the videos in Uwharrie you can see Michael finds an easter egg, probably left over from one of the...

    It was good to meet you this year Mike. Thanks for all the effort to help advertise and promote the event, I think it paid off.

    Yeah that's what some thought, until they fired that first shot! It takes a couple shots just to get used to the percussion wave hitting you, so I say you need at least 4 shots to really get the feel for it, ha ha.

    I heard it was on News 14 Carolina, but I can't even find the website for them to look and see if it was posted there.

    This year was awesome. It was only my second year and I had a blast. Big thanks to Garbee for the MKT; I feel like having the food onsite makes a big difference. The shooting range was a great addition and shooting the .50 cal was a lot of fun. It was a Bushmaster bolt action. Protip: wear...

    I thought about that too. As long as the park doesn't mind the water usage, that would maybe be cool. I pressure washed mine over the weekend and it made a huge difference. You could definitely charge for your "truck wash" LOL.

    The trails vary in difficulty. There are a couple of them that you can do without any worry. I used to take my lifted suburban in there and do a couple of the easier trails and camp out overnight. The joke about Uwharrie is that the place "grows rocks". If you look at the trail map, I used...

    I might be interested in that. If we only have the range for a couple hours then it just depends on what else we have going on.

    Done! I went this past weekend and passed the Technician and General Class license exams. I also went ahead and bought a GMRS license a couple weeks ago in case I decide to do anything with GMRS. I will have my handheld radio with me at the rally. Maybe I can outfit the LMTV with a mobile...

    I think you can use it on GMRS, up to 5 watts. FRS is restricted to 1/2 watt technically.

    Anyone use a HAM radio during these rallys? I know they do at the GA rally, but wasn't sure about this one. I have been taking some practice exams and thinking about going for my technician license in the next month or two. It would be cool to meet someone knowledgeable to answer questions or...

    Should we also have a designated "rally shirt" day? Unless we are all going to wear the same one for 3-4 days, ha ha!

    Sometimes extremely dry, like dust cloud dry. The roads going into Uwharrie are gravel, and if it hasn't rained recently they get very dusty. Maybe in April it will be early enough in the season to not be so bad.

    Count me in! I should be able to make it Friday morning at the least, and make the BBQ convoy again.
