Question SE Off-Road Driving Schools?

While it hasn't always been the case, I've been living in the land of pavement for a long time now. The thought of getting off-road with my new FJ is crazy exciting for me. ...but I know what I don't know and don't care to destroy a $30K + vehicle the first time out. ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A GOOD OFF-ROAD DRIVING SCHOOL IN THE SOUTHEAST? Preferably in central North Carolina.

THANKS!

Might I suggest Harlan, KY April 4-6. There will be more FJs and other Yotas there than you can imagine along with a vast amount of off road experieenced drivers.

RE: SE Off-Road Driving Schools?

Man! This forum is the best place for good ideas and information. Thanks!

Harlan, KY is doable, distance-wise. Schedule-wise, I can't make it, but if that changes, I'll be there! Thinking ahead though to the next such event...are these things pretty kid friendly (11 year-old)? Or is the experience usually a bit intense for the young un's?

Any other suggestions are very welcome.

My 15 year old daughter insists on going. VERY kid friendly. It's our dad/daughter thing.

Re: Introducing The Smokey Mountain Cruisers

Wheeling is something that kids love. There were quite a few kids on the last outing and they all seemed to be having a good time. Just dont let them drink the lemonaide with Terry back at the hotel after the run.

Generally speaking, our 7you daughter (aka the Mud Princess) would be heartbroken if we ever left her behind and she found out.

Harlan would be good, but I noticed that the dates were bad for you. How close to Uwharrie? Bill Burke will be doing a FJ only event July 26th & 27th, I would really try to make this event.

Keep watch the South East Region & Smokey Mountain Cruisers Regional Forums for Trail Rides.

I can tell you that any ride that the Smokey Mountain Cruisers are involved will be kid friendly.
