Brown Mtn Climb

[MDSA]

Just north of Morganton, NC, is an ORV park called Brown Mtn. Took the M37 there today along with my sons' Ranger and Cherokee, plus 2 nice 4 wheelers. Most of the trail is dry rock or dirt, fairly steep in places, bumpy as all get out, but never needed 4 wheel drive and hardly ever spun (probably because of the M37's weight). If you look in the background of the first pic you can get an idea of the terrain. Didn't get the camera out until we got to the "pond" near the top. I have to say I was very pleased with how the M37 just kept climbing. Nothing seemed to phase it. I see why some people make rock climbers out of an M37.

Happy New Year

MDSA . . . Looks like a great trip. I've driven up to Mortimer, Globe, etc. I've wondered if it would be possible to take an m35 on the Brown Mnt. trail. I'm in Lenoir.

I know a M816 5 ton will make it to where Brian was at the mud hole,well it would make it several years ago,dunno about now.

Awesome! Anyone want to give it a try? The trailed is closed from January 1 to April 1 so it looks like there is time to plan if anyone is interested.

Brandon, you had your wrecker up there? Wow!

The trail was plenty wide enough for a Deuce or 5 ton, at least to the pond. It got a bit narrower and steeper after the pond. Seems like some of the curves were a bit sharper also.

The park is closed for the winter. But spring is coming. Just $5 to see if we can do it.
