I'll be turning 40 in March, and pre-economy meltdown, my VERY generous family had planned to send me to France to ride my bike for a week or so. I'm cool with that not happening now, believe me I understand people holding on to their money right now, but if plan B was to be a few days of 4wheeling where might you guys suggest going? Since it'll be March and the weather might be iffy for camping, proximity to hotel(s) is a consideration. I'm in NC and I'd rather spend the seat time off the highway, so Southeast is best bet.
Thanks

Brown Mountain is supposed to be nice.

Uwharrie is good as well, but more of a drive.

Southern Land Rover Society (SoLaRoS) will have our Spring Fling in March. You're welcome to come out.

Exact dates and location are still TBD.

Hop on 81 and roll up to snowy New England. There are plenty of places to stay but winter camping is not so hard, I have done it often. The main thing is a bag rated 20 lower than expected low temp (to be quite warm without issue) and a couple pads under you. Our set up for car-camping now is one blue ridgerest under the thickest wide rei air/foam pad. This nets about 4" under you and the closed cell on the bottom makes a great substrate for the thicker top pad. It's quite the not-hard core combo and we sleep great. The wider (~30"?) ones are nice because your arms don't fall off the "edge".

Or you could remove the back seats and stay inside.
