Is the stuff out at TW Alexander worth driving from Wilmington?

I cant say Ive never been, only seen the YouTube videos. From what I hear its a pretty long trail. Mostly red clay. Check out the vids and you decide..

The trail entrance is about 10 minutes from my house, so if you do go let me know!

It looks like we got a few options going here… of course this is a bad time of year because of the whole "family time" stuff.
I am getting a bad power steering pump replaced Friday, so if all goes well I am up for something Saturday at TW, down to Croatan exploring or even hit some mud holes with discokid.

K-rover,
Could you PM me where the trail entrance is? Will definitely let you know if/when we go, just want to get the address down on a OHV spreadsheet I am putting together.

If your spreadsheet is info on local / NC trails, i'd love to get a copy, if you want to share.
I've never been to Croatan either, what is there? Would it be worth the drive from Wilmington? There used to be some stuff around here, but it's all gone now. I need some places to go other than the 3.5 hour drive to Uwharrie.

mike97d1, I sent you the list in your email. If you feel like exploring Croatan sometime let me know. I don't know how many trails are open, or even how good they may be (not very from what was mentioned earlier in this thread), but I'm willing to go find out.

Thanks man, I would like to check out Croatan sometime, just not sure when. I have a couple buddies that would probably like to go as well. I'll do some research on how far it will be for me and what is there. If i make plans to go that way i'll post up or email you.

I grew up in the Croatan. Anything legal can be wheeled with a 2wd Mazda B2200.

So basically, you're either going to get your truck really dusty legally or you're going to be breaking the law and get your truck very muddy.

There is a shopping center on TW Alexander dr, about halfway down. It has a Food Lion grocery store The trail head is only about a mile away from there.

K-rover, I will meet you there at noon on the 30th.
Discokid, if you can go, I can swing through Wilson on my way to Raleigh.
If anyone else is interested just let us know or meet at the Food Lion at noon.
