Do you live in the Granby area?

Cane Corso. Italian mastiff.

My buddy has one of those. Great dogs, but scary looking.

Bounced around the forgotten USFS roads that criss cross the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.

Just curios @foeix, where is this at in Virginia? I've traveled alot of the USFS roads in Georgia, Tennessee, SC, and NC, but weren't aware of any in Virginia.

This area is between Montebello and Big Island - SW of Charlottesville.

Virginia has more USFS land than any other state east of the Mississippi - 1.6M acres total. There are 1780 miles of year round or seasonal USFS roads open to the public in VA.

WV has another 920K acres and 570 miles of USFS roads.

For context Georgia has 867K acres - NC 1.2M, SC 630K, FL 1.1M and TN 718K.

Here's an article I wrote on public lands & over landing in the Mid-Atlantic if you are interested: http://dirtroadtrip.com/blog/lifestyle/anything-but-asphalt/

Had help from Nlxtasy to fix the rear window that suddenly stopped working and stayed open. Turned out to be a fairly simple fix of sliding he track back in the glass.


And while going over, thanks to loud wind noise I was doing 55 mph following a truck I got the highest average mpg I've ever seen. It was up to 19.5 but didn't quite catch it on camera.

Ordered pistons for the engine rebuild

First Family wheeling trip, ever! Pinecrest Peak Trail near Strawberry CA. Packed most of my children, my wife, and one of the dogs into the 80 for a nice 8 hour drive. (LOL) The kids got out and ran, walked, and jogged for about 1 and a half hours of the trip. Good times.

Couldnt get a pic with everyone looking at the camera or smiling. Oh well.

Is that the fire threatening Markleeville in the background? We were planning to go camping/wheeling right about there this weekend.

Not facing the right direction for that . . . . didn't know there was a fire in that area.

Looks like I've barely hit the tip of the iceberg. I'm on the west side of Richmond. Please drop me a line if you would care for some company as I'm always up for a road trip to the mountains.

I noticed that too.

Actually, that is facing the right direction (NNE) from Pinecrest peak and that is the Washington fire seen in the background.

Thanks for the great article. Now you got me interested in a new site, and the Vermont trip sounds awesome. I went to sign up for the August one but was too late. Next time. I'd love to go to VT for a week of wheeling!

Yep. I dig it. I'm in Roanoke and you can spend days dirt roading and wheeling just west of here. Not a lot of hard core technical wheeling but lots of awesome back roads. I grew up in Augusta County and that section of the Blue Ridge along Augusta/Nelson county and south has a lot of worthy terrain.

Mid-week trip to the lake. Rack at capacity with floatables. Canoe, sail boat, 2 paddle boards

 

[srfdntchk]

Bought a heavy duty stall mat for the cargo area and pulled the running boards.

Cut off my exhaust resonator and welded it back on a couple hours later. The whistle was way too noticeable with it off.

Do you live in the Granby area?

No just visiting. Live on the front range

Not shocked but not super surprised. I honestly did not notice.

 

[serenity]

Started planning a dual cab chop and picked up this little addition!

Love your truck! Any more pics?

Of the truck or camping?
