Cool...thanks for info. Do you have a trip report or any maps of where you went? I'd like to do some hiking (need to get in better shape and lose weight), but if it's too hot, I'll skip that.Originally Posted by 4x4mike
Thanks Chris! I didn't realize Maryland was on the list of states that don't honor NC's CCW, so I'll have to figure out what to do there too.Originally Posted by 04 Rocko Taco
Thanks Keith! Good info there. That fantasy canyon looks awesome. Just the kind of travel tips I'm looking for!Originally Posted by corax

Check this site out for GPS tracks, trip reports, topos, pics, etc of offroad trails in Utah and Colorado -> Trail Damage (click on "Trailhead Map" for the state you want to look at)Originally Posted by DHC6twinotter
Don't let the name scare you off, all the trails are rated with some being simple dirt roads (keep an eye on weather in the desert, a big storm can cause flash flooding miles away).
Free hiking resource, some areas of the country have better info than others: http://www.localhikes.com/ . . . though the best trails can sometimes be found by talking to the locals in whatever outdoor equipment shop is near your destination.
I wrote a POI file based off Trail Damage maps that will work on Garmin for Moab and surrounding area trails, but can convert it for you if you have some other navi platform -> POI Factory / host site

dirtopia.com also has some stuff. not an end all site, but can be useful. just another resource!
2005 Lexus LX470 - Stock for now...
1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4x4 + a bunch of goodies. Lifted, Locked, Illuminated and Armored. Winner,"Best Offroad Truck" - 2010 Pismo Jamboree. It's been upside down and still drives me to work.
I'm going to get a later start than I was hoping, and looks like I'm going to have to scrap my plans for the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline drive. We'll see.
I may end up doing a quick trip up the outer banks instead. Then from there, swing up to see my little bro and his wife in Norfolk, VA. From there I'll head up to DC, and the rest of the trip as planned.
We'll see what happens.

Yeah, way too long! I was hoping to get by your way, but I don't think I'll be able to make it. If I land a job out West, I may end up driving back to NC to pick up my stuff and haul a trailer back. I should be able to swing by then, unless shipping my crap ends up cheaper.....I figure that out when the time comes.Originally Posted by 04 Rocko Taco
Sure would be great to see you all again!

Do Tail of the Dragon?
Sedona is an awesome place, but in Aug it can be pretty hot. Expect temperatures in the 90s, but if you go, you'll probably be treated to monsoon rains in the afternoons. It cools down nicely, may or may not rain in your particular location, and you'll have a nice lightning show.
Most hiking trails are right off the road and depending on what trails you choose to hike, expect to get a couple hikes in per day.
