I just had an event I have to work moved on me from Friday to Saturday so looks like I'm not good either... We'll have a grand 4x4 adventure in the Spring which will be well worth the wait.

I think the Spring will work out perfect. Let us know early in the semester though, so we can schedule. My weekends fill up fast.

How "INTENSE" of a trail are you all looking for? Should we try to find a spot with multiple options or go for the easy button trail near Crab Tree Falls (awesome camping spot)?

Oh no doubt.. I hit that trail at the lake on 33W on Friday.. Everything was sopping wet so it was fun crawling around the different trails and the 4 creek crossings.. Creek crossings are so cool... :thumbup:

If that's the one at the top of 33 that starts as Pavement but ends within like 20 yards, then that is where I took the M. I though it would be a cool twisty paved backroad. It wasn't [Image: 1shifty.gif]

X2, nothing like being stuck 10 miles in the middle of the woods and scrambling for help.......at least a tow can get to you!

Worst nightmare= grenading the front dana 30 and having to leave the heep there stranded for two days Cry

Yeah, that's a neat trail down there. I took my Escape down there freshman year but didn't go very far. I remember stopping next to a little river thing. Not sure how far the trail goes or if you can camp there or what the deal is.

Hey man, I have an LSD. I can scramble my way out of anything with that. Unless it's snowing or deep ruts or slightly damp or... well okay, maybe I'll just come catch a ride.

I've taken it pretty far in- well in to West VA with a jeep club, total of about 4 hours in- 4 hours to drive out, pretty cool trail! Some tricky spots for sure, but there are always by-passes that a stocker can make it around no problem

I've camped there. It goes a decent bit past the creek, and then there are those digouts to stop you from going any further. There's a little short trail that branches off to the left, and you can came in that area.

Soooo, when in the spring works out for you folks? I was thinking late march (haven't looked at the race schedule yet). We'll have everything planned out this week. I also extended an invite to the UVA kids cause I know a couple of them are into it.

Late march would be cool- gotta see what we're going to trek on- wrangler is being sold and I just bought my dads 09 Grand Cherokee Laredo off of him- might have to test it out or ride with someone else Sad

One vote for late March
