Where?

I got no plan yet. The usual places would be great. Flag pole, taskers, cove would be awesome and I’m interested in wolf den (only one i havnt been to yet).

Ive got my sliders and recently added some 33s and new steel skids Im looking to take advantage of.

I could be up for an easy Taskers/Peters Mill Run trip. Like the idea of something within an hour's drive or so...

I like the idea. Open to other proposals as well... let’s try to finalize a quick plan on here tonight/tomorrow morning.

Tentatively in pending details

Ok. My proposal is to meet at the south entry point/eidenburg gap rd parking lot (38.7883670, -78.5218040) with trail permit in hand- this Saturday around 9am. We can take the trail to the other side and eat lunch on the trail somewhere along the way. It is about 8 miles and will take a couple hours with stops here and there. Maybe we can also climb Woodstock Tower at the end? Does this work for @wolvesSpareFrly @BCM ? Is anyone else interested? It is an easy but fun trail.

Here is a quick diagram. We will meet at the red circle and then follow the trail along peters mill run until the green X at which we can reconnect with civilization and head home from there.

Very unlikely to need any of the following items on this trail but you never know. Please have a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, some form of recovery tools or strategy, a full size spare tire, a club programmed radio (if possible).

Ill have an air compressor to air up tires, club programmed radio, variety of tools, some recovery straps, hard and soft shackles, shovel, axe, come along, and a snatch block- but I dont have recovery boards or a winch. Again- very unlikely to need any of these items on this trail but you never know. Right @1MOA ?

Here is more info about the meet up spot and how/where to grab a permit at the gas station a few minutes away as you pass through town on the way up:

Ok so far 3 of us this saturday- Any other takers??

 

[PhuckItImDone]

Currently looking into this, could be in. I do not have a club programmed radio.

No worries on the radio. As long as 2 of us have one or CB we’re all good. Even if not it’s not a huge deal on this trail.

@emorth what club channel should we plan to use up on peters mill? Is there a repeater nearby that will work? Thanks!

 

[emorth]

No repeaters, so any channel other than 2, 4 or 6 (repeater channels) will work. Channel 1 is typically used.

Awesome! The more the merrier. As long as there are no buicks we will be fine!

I spoke too soon... this buick looks perfectly capable, so one like this would be fine too:

Successful trail run along Peters Mill this morning. Thanks for making the trek. It was great to get out today and meet some new folks- great people and trucks as always. I was also able to spot our CLCC handy work from the trail cleanup when we cut and moved that downed tree 2 seasons ago.
