    NC Uwharries Backpacking 2023 April 14 15 16

    Start at Yates Place Campground, Troy NC 27371
    Directions on Google Maps

    Camp at Beech Camp a one hour hike in with lots of trees and water in Dutchman’s Creek.

    Directions to Beech Camp
    From Yates Place Campground, take spur trail about five minutes to T intersection with Uwharrie Trail.
    There you will see sign posts with wooden signs.

    Turn left going south on Uwharrie Trail.

    Hike about twenty to twenty five minutes depending on your hiking speed.
    You will then see five signposts with six wooden signs.

    Turn right onto Dutchman’s Creek Trail.

    Hike about 30 more minutes.
    You will cross several small step across creeks—those don’t count.
    Dutchman’s Creek Trail will cross Dutchman’s Creek three times in rapid succession. Once you have crossed Dutchman’s Creek twice—you will be at Beech Camp.

    AllTrails App can help you navigate, but Beech Camp is not listed on map. I made up the name Beech Camp because of all the beech trees in camp-perfectly spaced for hammocks.

    Feel free to join us for Friday Saturday Sunday, or hike in Saturday.
    Bring all your own food. Lots of water in Dutchman’s Creek.

    Don’t revoke my hammock card for bringing the tent again Phantom. Lenny and Indy like their shelter too.

    We’ll be looking for you
    Hope you will hike in with someone who has been there
    If not, use an app, like AllTrails
    Download trails at home on WiFi
    Then bring trails up before going
    Then AllTrails App will have a blue dot showing your exact location—even without cell signal, while deep in woods.
    And follow my directions in original post

    Trails could be Dutchman’s Creek Trail Uwharrie Trail figure8 loop-Troy NC or something like that.

    Most maps and apps will show Dutchman’s Creek Trail crossing Dutchman’s Creek three times in rapid succession. We will be camped immediately after second Dutchman’s Creek crossing!

    Ooops Iceman, I’ve made a scheduling error.
    My apologies to all
    I mistakenly thought these two different hangs were a month apart. After looking again, it seems they are a week apart.
    I should not have posted this hang, because it is too close in time and place.

    I would blame my stupidity on old age, but upon reflection, I’ve been dumb my whole life.

    Now I have an excuse to camp twice, hope no one will be too mad at me.

    Friday afternoon
    Maybe 4 or 5pm
    We can text back and forth, to make sure most of us hike in main group.
    We can’t be too careful, Sasquatch might not be 100% Vegan
