Yes. Clean your junk. I would pacl a luhch, some snacks and drinks. I like to be comforttable when out in the middle of nowhere. I am bringing a smaller cooler with me.

stuck in GA · 12-02-05, 07:58 AM

Yeah sounds good. I can't wait.

Felix · 12-02-05, 08:02 AM

Damn! I wish I could make it. Hope you guys have fun.

If any of you guys want to go back shortly thereafter, I'm gonna try to get down to some trails two weeks from this Saturday. Maybe GWNF, or Devil's Ditch if I can get my sliders on by then.

I am going to Crozet next weekend--they have an open weekend.

That ledge on Dictum Ridge has given many trucks problems. It dosen't take much to get the back end hopping a bit trying to get up and then go over. Check out my post on YotaTech about a guy who rolled his SASed Xterra on Dictim:

That would be me

. Yeah, it's sort of a blur memory in my head now. I am up for this trip. What time you guys are planning to meet. I can't remeber the exact direction, can some one get the direction to me?

Thanks

stuck in GA · 12-02-05, 11:18 AM

the shell gas station on 33. past the town square. It is right after the closed up Food Lion on the right as you head towards GWNF at 9:30. I believe.

Riad · 12-02-05, 11:27 AM

33 east or west? I am coming from MD. Is 33 off of 81 north or south. I can't find my GWNF direction cheat sheet.

Riad · 12-02-05, 11:54 AM

Nevermind. Found the the direction. If any one's going from DC, MD, VA and would like to caravan, let me know. I am taking 66W -> 81S -> 11S -> 33E.

BlueCruiser84 · 12-02-05, 12:29 PM

I'll be home for christmas, and will be more than happy to go on a run. Chris will probably want to too.

73Goat · 12-02-05, 02:22 PM

I have been out of town, so did not see this until now. I am going to try to get out of my plans tomorrow morning and join if that is cool. I will need to head out early afternoon, but can at least get in some good wheeling in the morning. Where is everyone meeting, and at what time? I will be coming from Leesburg if anyone is near by and wants to travel together.

stuck in GA · 12-02-05, 02:31 PM

Yeah man come along. Where we are meeting is posted up above. In harrisonburg.

Riad · 12-02-05, 03:24 PM

Can some one PM me their cell number so I can call in case I am early or late? I sent a PM to Brandon waiting for him to get back to me.

offroad_nomad · 12-02-05, 05:38 PM

Glad you're alright. So you've crossed over to the dark side and got a Toyota?

YEP !!

73Goat · 12-03-05, 04:53 PM

Great time! Sorry I had to cut out early, I have a party to go to tonight for my wife's job.

That was some introduction to water crossings! I have never done any that deep. I am still trying to dry out everything that was inside the cruiser after that foot of water that got inside. Look forward to seeing everyone's pics, and will post my own if I can ever figure out how.

moe.taco · 12-03-05, 05:05 PM

Good to meet all of ya. Lets do it again sometime.

When I get back to Fairfax tomorrow my pics will be up. Had a great time today.

stuck in GA · 12-03-05, 07:09 PM

Yeah you guys that was awsome. We got to do it again. This time I will be on time. Well I will try to get some pics up when I can.

filthyrich · 12-03-05, 07:11 PM

wow, what an awesome day. It was cold and full of water. 73Goat, moe.taco and myself crossed about 4'-5' of raging water. We all took on water, but no damage AT ALL

8 rides started the day. We ended up splitting into two groups b/c some of us thought the first creek crossing was too deep. HAHAHA. We meet back up after the three of us encountered what moe.taco is rolling through.

The group met back up in the middle of a trail. After taking the 3 80s and 1 60 back to the creek to show them the white caps we wheeled the rest of the day---Riven Rock area, Dictum (unsuccessfully-but no for lack of trying), and Second Mountain--where it felt like I was real close to flopping my junk.

Here are some pics. I am sure more will follow in a day or two....
