I made the 700 mile trip from nc to Ohio yesterday without any hitches. Other than being passed by semis on the uphill sections of I77 through West Virginia. I even got the best gas mileage that I've gotten in years,15 mpg on 245/75s so probably closer to 16 if you calculate the tire difference.

 

Very nice.
I still dont know why anyone would ever go to Ohio other than Cedar Point though.

 

I made my first ever trip to Ohio last summer for the 2012 edition of this event, and plan on being there again this year in mid-June

Wilds Safari 2008

 

One of these years I'll attend.

 

I drove my defender to the Arkansas Rover Society Spring rally last weekend about 200 miles away. It's got about 67 horsepower and is very low geared.... I got passed by semis even going downhill. Going uphill sometimes I would even turn my flashers on.

 

I'm up here to work at a nuke plant, hopefully ill get done in time to make it back for the uwharrie safari on the 11th. A buddy of mine said I was crazy for trying to drive it that far, then when I told him I was planning on stopping on the way back to go wheeling he really thought I had lost it.

 

Haters gonna hate.

If you're afraid to drive it then you need to sell it.

Kudo's to you for driving it that far and proving your friend wrong.

 

So what is the Uwharrie Safari? That may be close enough for my Rover to attend
