Welcome to the information page for the second annual Uwharrie Rover Expedition!2, URE!2. This event will be held in the Uwharrie National Forest in Central North Carolina from 21-23 October, 2005. We certainly hope that you find the information below that you need, and that you have an opportunity to join us!
What can you expect?
Led Trail Rides in the Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) area of the Uwharrie National Forest. Three levels of trail ride will be offered.
Morrow Mountain Monster--All of the trails, easiest, more difficult, and difficult will be driven at one attempt. Wannabes must sit this one out, the guide is authorized to set the pace and leave you there if you can't keep up.
Icabod Crane--easiest and more difficult trails will be driven at this effort. While we are not sure you will lose you head, it could still happen.
Great Pumpkin--An introduction to off-road driving. Only the easiest trails will be driven, but there is always the potential for damage.
It is not necessary to for you to ride in the Society led trails, these trail rides will be led by a society member who knows that trail combination. if you are unfamiliar with trails at Uwahrrie OHV, then our guides can certainly help out!
Hayrides will also be a part of this event. Friday night's ride will bring back memories of a golden age being towed down a gravel road by a vintage land rover. Saturday night's just might leave you with a struggling heart and wet pants, not for the faint of heart.
Uwharrie is a great place to drive trails at night, just be careful.
Supper, only the finest fried chicken provided by Bojangles, will be held on Saturday night with all the fixin's. Don't miss it, I can already hear arteries hardening. If you require heart healthy vegetarian fare, bring it with you. We are out to cause heart attacks! Throughout Saturday evening of the URE, at supper, and during the auction, tickets earned by registering early, and pre-paying for supper can be redeemed. Following no rhyme nor reason, the event hosts will simply draw a raffle ticket and call out a winner. Will you be one?
On Sunday morning, we will give out prizes for Best Halloween themed Camp Site, Most Rover Looking Rover, Best Hard Luck Story, and Longest Distance Drive, as well as any reason we can think of to give away left over goodies.
Early Registration will open July 1st, 2005 and continue until October 9th, 2005. Early registration will be rewarded by receiving 4 extra raffle tickets. These tickets can be redeemed at Saturday night's festivities.
In keeping with supporting America's military, this event is free to Active Duty and Reserve** members of our Armed Forces.
Consider this a family friendly event.***
Wow, this seems great! What else should I know?
Please recognize that this is a Land Rover event. While you do not have to own a Land Rover to participate, please realize that you will not be able to participate in any of the contests or win prizes while driving a non Land Rover product.
The fees for the URE are being kept as low as possible. Members of the Old North State Land Society will participate for free, while non-members are charged a registration fee. Everyone, member and non-member, must register either through the web site or at the campground. Pre registration is most helpful because it allows us to plan a little better.
The only mandatory fee, for non-members, is the registration fee, $25.00. What the Registration fee* includes is:
Campsite fee for the Group Camp for two nights for one car.
You can also simply join the Old North State buy paying the $25.00 membership dues. This would mean that your registration fee is, well, free.
The fees for riding the trails is $5.00 per day, paid for at the Outpost gas station to the Forest Service. Both members and non-members are responsible for their own trail fees.
The fee for Saturday night supper is $5.00 per person. You can expect this meal to be a chicken dinner with 2 pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, baked beans, peach cobbler, and sweet tea.
Last year we had some people who arrived and participated in the trail rides enjoying the rover community, but not supporting the organization that worked to put the event together. We are not going to try and come up with a way to keep that from happening again this year. If you think that sort of behavior is appropriate, then you are a weenie and that burden is punishment enough.
*The registration fee will not be adjusted to support individual requirements
