Thank you R/T.  We want you to know all the planning and work that is put into the Zu is greatly appreciated. 

Jeff, it's only a week later than last year's fall event.  But yeah, it was a little chilly... I will just fill the Suburban up with blankets again, lol.  I can handle the cold, I don't particularly care for the cold and rain at the same time. 

[pmcg27]

[SANDMANZUK]

A few of us are members of the coastal carolina group, but we going with the Zu group.

[Thorny]

So does this mean we are gonna have to get our own campsites this year??

[Tim]

So does this mean we are gonna have to get our own campsites this year??

no I think they already have campsites resereved...don't know if thats group camp or arts campground

[pmcg27]

you see why some of us were asking well if i do go i will have to leave Saturday afternoon for sunday is my wedding anniversary.

[beekiller]

So does this mean we are gonna have to get our own campsites this year??

No, some people want to stay where there's electricity, showers, toilets, etc.  It also helps ensure your own space. 

[BLKZUKI]

hmmm this gives me plenty of time to get my ZUK moving agian....now if i can just find some money to finish it........i may not make this one!!!

[BerryBlonde]

Group camp is reserved for the Zu crowd.

[pmcg27]

cool

[bkstdrvr]

u da man Roy

[PhatSami]

I've never been to the Zu.  As a matter of fact it's been years since I've been out with anyone from this board.  I think I need to get out to this thing.  Can someone answer a few questions for me?  How does the camping work?  I'd like to drive the motorhome, but my buggy is not street legal.  Is the camping near the trailhead, or should I just tent it and drive my truck so i can tow it to the trailhead?  Do I need to pre-register and pay, or do it there?  Where exactly is this place?  I'd be coming from Pittsburgh, PA.  What are the trails like?  Should I bring a ton of spare parts, or is it pretty tame?

[Tim]

um you need to bring your truck and trailer, you can preregister but you don't have to, it is in troy north carolina, the trails are anywhere from easy to moderate i wouldn't call them extreme by no means but they are fun

[durnzuki]

Pretty much what Tim said.  The group camp is several miles from the trails and the Rangers WILL give you a ticket if you arnt tagged.  Most of the trails can be done in 2wd on a dry day.  You can pay for the Zu stuff when the registration dates come up, usually about a month before the event.  You will also need a trail pass which is only like $5 a day to ride on the trails.

[norzuki]

I don't think anyone on here can stress enough.........the importance of "trailering" your non-licensed rig to the trail.

They are cracking down on that big time now.

Tent camping is great at group camp (no electric) but has water and heated showers and out houses on steroids

Yeah, they're on something all right...."steroids" is one term....

[samurota]

  BTW the Park Ranger that gave us all the fun is still there. Saw him yesterday when we were there.
 I would definitely not try to get to the trail without tag and insurance.
 
 

[pmcg27]

thay cant stop all of us if we pulled out at the same time.

[samurota]

They use the road block, License check method. Right out of the gate of group camp and Hello 

[Biggerhammer]

They even looked at my 4dr Kick that at the time was my DD. We asked them if they were gonna be there all night? They said, Yes, we are.

[PhatSami]

Sounds like a lot of hassle to run some moderate trails.

who goes there to wheel? This'll be event #3 with no rig there, social time and cheap camping

[s2daddy]

Might have to run a convoy with u jeff. Won't bring the truggy. Not worth all the hassle with no tags. Plus I doubt it will run after bigdogs. Just pullin a camper maybe

We'll have the excursion and the travel trailer.....and we're on the way...we'll fill up camp Zu fast...lol

Moderate is a relative term. How your rig is built makes a big difference. If you drive a buggy you'll probably be bored stiff. But... if you are like me and drive a daily driver with lockers, 2"-3" of lift, and 235/75-15 A/Ts then it can be a lot of fun. Besides, it's the people that make the Zu, not the place to wheel. I could have fun spinning donuts in R/T's front yard if it was with a group from the Zu!
PS - on the people statement, at the Spring Zu, I noticed the language with some of the groups was getting a little course. I bring my kids and appreciate the fact that the Zu staff tries (and does a great job) keeping this event very family friendly. Thnka staff!

[LBarr2002]

It's going to be a busy weekend.  Check the flyer posted in this thread: http://usjeeps.com/showthread.php?t=5401

[durnzuki]

Most of those people will be across the road at the horse stables no on the trail and they wont be there until sat I bet.

[Mr_DIY]

I will be there in the white yota.  can't wait to catch up with "camp" and do a little wheeling.

bcrewcptn... I'm flattered to be in your sig. line LOL 

[BLM008]

I was up at the zu this weekend.  Had a great time wheeling, trails were pretty muddy.

[ZUKGRL417]

So were me and my husbands buddy's and they all left early cause they all broke something on their sami. So ready for next weekend, hopefully it'll be dry and nice.

[BLM008]

I broke something too, but I still stayed thru sunday.

[Mr_DIY]

  can't WAIT!

[madbob]

As of now I'll be bringing rockjunkies old rig with it's new paint job.  Hopefully monica won't flop it again.  I'm trying to get my other sammy up and running, but don't know if I'll have time.  Been a crazy week.....

[durnzuki]

  Been a crazy week.....

AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!!

[madbob]

If I can figure out how to get both rigs out there, I'll you drive one if you make it Jeff, but not so much Dylan 

It really is just going to boil down to how much work I get done today, and if the trailer brakes are working on my gooseneck.
