EDIT: SNOW AND ICE WILL BE ON THIS TRAIL OVER THE WEEKEND. AS A RESULT, SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GO- MYSELF INCLUDED. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE FOLKS STILL GOING. PLEASE CHECK THE LATEST POSTS IN THIS THREAD FOR INFORMATION ON TIME AND LOCATION FOR THIS MEETUP. THANKS- BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN OUT THERE.
December is turning out to be a month full of club activities. That’s really good to see and hope y’all keep it up in January too.
I know some folks just did a flagpole run today but we’re still doing next Saturday, Dec 19th.
Need to pick a time- please pick a time above and let me know if you’re coming out so we get an idea of how many trucks to expect.
Thanks!
Here is info for the run:
Saturday, December 19th @ Flagpole
The trail is easy to sort of moderate in a few spots. Should be ok with a stock truck or suv.
Below are the details. Shamelessly stolen from @afgman786 post on this from last time.
February Trail Ride (Valentines Run) Feb 21st

We will stop for lunch at the top with a view. Bring normal stuff like food, water, full size spare tire, first aid kit, some folks will have radios, tools, recovery gear etc. Please also be paid up on your CLCC or other local TLCA chapter dues- I’m speaking as a member and friend of the club not as a club official.
Lodging if needed:
The Village Inn

RESERVATIONS: (540) 434-7355
Call and make reservations or go online. They will take a credit card but not charge until you check in, so you can pay however you would like.
Trail Ride:
Be ready to roll out at xxxAM(?) Saturday morning Dec 19. On google maps we will go from Union Springs, VA> Flagpole Knob, VA > Switzerdam, VA
Plan is to head to Union Springs from The Village Inn to start the trail ride. Be ready to leave the parking lot by (?). Should be a good time. plan on stopping for lunch in the trail at flagpole Knob then finishing the trail ride.
