Keep in mind there are a lot of big trips during April/May. There is the NCKrawlers the weekend of the 18th, the Isuzuwharrie trip (one I am attending) the weekend of the 22nd (22nd-wed through 26th-sun), and the Zuwharrie in early May. Even if you don't go with a planned group you can usually just post up here saying your going such and such weekend and you will find a few people to tag along with.
CNC4x4 also has there Spring fling April 25th weekend.. we usually have atleast 50 folks or more there
