mountainous, or at least hilly, terrain perferred. overnight camping - primitive preferred.

Uwharrie in the lead thus far.

look for ~20 miles without backtrack making a loop.

It's around three hours or so away, but Wilson Creek has some great trails and some nice waterfalls.

Appalachian Trail?

Some of the buttons didn't work, and I kept hearing random beeps and stuff whenever I tried to call anyone. So I knocked it against my shoe a few times, and tried it again; now HALF the buttons didn't work. At this point I just started beating the shit out of it...I stomped on it a few times, then punted it and let it drop onto a hard linoleum floor. After all this, NONE of the buttons worked.

Anyway, I gave it a try today, and it works fine.

Quite a few nice views and some waterfalls at hanging rock.

No 20 miles of hiking or primitive camping, though.

4/2/2009 8:55:55 PM

why within 2 hours? just drive ~3 and get some really kickass hiking

but if you need to stay local, go to the Eno River

4/2/2009 8:57:30 PM

i'll second the Hanging Rock suggestion ... also in that area is Pilot Mountain

its about a 2 hour drive from Raleigh

4/2/2009 10:05:13 PM

uwharrie is pretty damned great....used to live in asheboro and hiked it all the time....there may not be a 20 mile loop trail....but there are plenty of trails that individually im sure add up to well over 20 miles. they also have some 4x4 trails back there as well....atleast i think they did at one point

4/2/2009 10:41:00 PM

oops...
