I am moving to Rocky Mount, North Carolina, this summer for an internship. Does anyone have any good suggestions for backpacking routes near the northeast part of North Carolina? I will have 3-day weekends and a car, so I can drive a bit to get to good places, but the further I drive, the shorter the backpacking trip will have to be. Currently I live in Utah and I spend most weekends backpacking around northern and southern utah for 3 or 4 days at a time, I would love to do this on the east coast this summer!

I am moving to Rocky Mount for the summer for an internship, and I am looking for suggestions on backpacking trails in the area. I will have 3-day weekends, and I will have a car so I can drive to get to places. The further I drive, the shorter my backpacking trips have to be. I am from Utah and spend most of my weekends backpacking and through hiking southern Utah for 3 or 4 days at a time, and I am hoping to do that in NC.

If I could get suggestions for backpacking routes, that would be very much appreciated! Even if they are not in the Eastern part of the state or not in NC at all, I would love to know some good areas

I recently bought a Golf Alltrack with 108,000 miles on it. I have called around to a few shops and 2 of them told me that there is no need to service the Haldex AWD system because it is not needed. One of these shops that told me this was “the shop to go to” for Volkswagens in Utah. What are your opinions on this? I am getting the dsg transmission service done and was planning on doing them at the same time, but ever since the most reputable VW shop in Utah told me they would not do it, it has me thinking.

What is an average estimate for a DSG and Haldex service? I got quoted about 400 for each and around 800 for both done at the same time by a shop near me. What is about average? I just bought a 2017 Golf Alltrack with 100,000 miles on it and I am planning on getting those serviced soon

Prices are in USD
