I grew up in Duham. In northern Durham there are some sweet spots on the Eno when the area is dry. Just watch out for the copperheads/cotton mouths...not to mention the Poison Ivy and tics

So far about 20 people, but maybe more will show up.
Hey guys,
I know there hasn't been a post here in a few months, but I moved down to Raleigh from Md back in June and I'm getting back into the crawler scene. I joined ncrccrawlers and posted what I have found so far. There are some pictures on the thread as well. I just ordered a creeper and will be taking it to Falls Dam in a few weeks. I put together a map with the 3 spots I have found.
Here's the map:

Hey, near enough to Raleigh to be close. I know a really great place too if your interested. I have a scx-10 scaler, but where I'm talkin about you can run anything. I can be ready to roll as early as this weekend, Sat or Sun. Just yell if you want to run.
Awesome. I don't have my new rig yet, still waiting for it to be delivered so I will be building it this weekend. Where's this place you're talking about? I've found a few spots that I think would be good for a comp maybe, even though I haven't been in one yet.

It's the Haw River, just west of Jordan lake on Hwy 64 west, about 2 or 3 miles east of Pittsboro N.C. Great place to run. We had a few comps there when I was in Carolina Rock Runners. Lots of lines, huge amount of rocks and water if you want it. I love the place personally because I can get there in less than an hour and spend quite a few hours and packs just pluggin around. There are some pretty hard lines there, and more than enough places to trail run.
Cool, I know where that spot is. Might have to go check it out soon.

Hey man saw your post about crawl spots. got a few more for you to look at.
(1) go behind 4wheel parts on glennwood ave. good spot for bashers/scalers to full comp rigs. no permission needed.
(2) toytown in fuquay varina. small course but fun.
(3) army daves house next saturday . sign up at 9am. comp starts at 10am.
#2-3 can get directions from toytown sight. 4 wheel parts is on glennwood right before duraleigh rd i think .
anyway dude hope to see you around & checkout the crawl at dave next sat if you are into it .

Cool. Been to 4 wheel parts before, I'll update the map I made with that location. Myself, hvydty1 and nsg1rc from NCRCCRAWLERS.com met up this past Saturday at Falls Dam and ran for a few hours. myself and hvydty1 we there from about 2pm until dark. We're gonna try to meet up there some more along with 4 wheel parts and Haw river.

Cedar Hills Park
I went and played disc golf or frisbie golf or whatever it's called this morning with some buddies from work at a place called Cedar Hills Park. Walking through the course, I found this little spot:
Just google 'Cedar Hills Park Raleigh' and a map will come up, it's right off of Spring Forest Rd in North Raleigh.
It's nothin hardcore, but it's fun to screw around. There are a few tough angles (for my long wheelbase maxstone 10) I drove around most of the time without any problems. I was by myself, so I couldnt take any video, but I did get some pics mid-drive.

Cool, you should take a ride up to Falls Dam off Falls of Nuese rd and check that place out. (The bottom part of the dam I mean)

yeah i've been there a few times, went alot this summer. the first time i went there i had a small crowd of 10 or 15 people watching me....a bunch of kids too. the dam is cool b/c the rocks are a lot bigger than cedar hills.....but cedar hills is less than 2 minutes from my house

That's a nice spot for a scale trail run. Very interesting! I think I will try and get there for a run or 2.!

Wondering if there's still people in the Raleigh area wanting to get together? Heard there is a track going in at Northgate Mall ( I believe it's called).

Several of us in the Raleigh area have been getting together regularly, hitting Umstead, Lake Johnson, and other places. There's a Facebook group NC RC Crawlers where everything is posted and coordinated. Got a great group of guys already, always welcome more!
