We had a unique experience this weekend with our local car club. One of our members, an employee of the National Forest Service, organized an hour+ Porsche SUV drive on forest service roads in the Pisgah National Forest.
Looking back 'the husband' and I spent more time than I can believe, doing real off roading in the 'Northwoods' of Wisconsin with our Jeep and Land Cruiser....always equipped with a winch to get us 'unstuck'. This drive was bumpy and a tad scary in some areas where there had been wash outs and no guard rails. However 13 cars made the trip unscathed...naturally they were all 4-wheel or all-wheel drive SUV's The sky was sunny and the roads were dry...we all paraded to a local restaurant for a hearty breakfast where our fellow member Rob gave us lots of info about the roads/national forests etc.
We are so delighted to be members of this very special PCA club!

Wow, that does look like fun.
What a great opportunity! I didn't know you two were off-roaders in another life - lol.
How exciting and informative!!!! So glad you had a good time...so good for hubby too!!!
Mary here.....oh ya....we owned 40 acres in the Northwoods of Wisconsin...no water, no electricity.......parcel next to national forest so it was very private....we canoed in the small river....always came back with leeches on our bodies since often had to get out and push the canoe over low parts of the river. Did some serious off roading.......primitive camped on the land.... Gosh and I used to think that was fun!
lol - the things we do when we're young. The hubs liked to hunt and take his 4-wheel drive pickup truck on the backroads (scaring me half to death the few times I went with him) but when asked about camping, he'd dryly say, "My idea of roughing it is staying at a Motel 6!
