OffroadRunner 01-09-2002, 08:16 AM Anybody up for takin a little ride on Sunday the 13th. We are planning to go up Old Long Run and down Second Mnt. Then maybe hit Peters Mill on the way back, if my kidneys can handle it. We should arrive around 9-10am or so.....Where??? I am not quite sure yet. Up for suggestions if anybody else would like to go. armentdw 01-09-2002, 09:23 AM I'd be up for a trailride on Sunday. I'm 15 minutes from the GWNF and I know most of the trails up there. Let me know if you still plan on going and we'lll work out some plans. 85TrailToy 01-09-2002, 09:54 AM Originally posted by armentdw I know most of the trails up there. Cool. Are there any good ones??:D Anything better than Dictum Ridge? Been there a couple of times but I know there's tons of trails I haven't seen yet. OffroadRunner 01-09-2002, 10:05 AM Old Long Run, going up can be difficult at times it depends on the water. I haven't been down in 6-7months. It has to be better then peters mill. They must have drug it or something. I didnt even use 4wd at all.....Whats up with that????? armentdw 01-09-2002, 10:13 AM Originally posted by 85TrailToy Cool. Are there any good ones??:D Anything better than Dictum Ridge? Been there a couple of times but I know there's tons of trails I haven't seen yet. There's not anything really extreme around here but I'd say that the very back of Kephart is harder than Dictum. Most people turn around after the first rock slab but it gets harder further back. The trail drops into a creekbed and you have to turn around at the top and come back down. There are tons of trails but most are just dirt roads that don't amount to anything. I go out searching for new trails every couple weeks so I'm hoping to find some harder stuff. GRNRVR 01-09-2002, 10:43 AM Ya, the forest service might as well have paved Peter's Mill when they did repairs to it.. However, a few of us went on Sunday night after dark while it was snowing. The snow and ice made it a really fun night run.. Lots of sliding around... little_joe 01-09-2002, 11:47 AM Has anyone done any scouting out Rt 33 into WVA? That's still USFS land, looks as if there has to be something out there. OffroadRunner 01-09-2002, 01:33 PM Lets do it fellas. Exploration run???? Kephart Run never been. Where is that in relation to everything else up there? We can leave MD by 7 be in Harrisonburg 9:30-10. Where you guys want to meet up? The little convenence store on the left right after 612???? There will be 2 Toyotas and 1 Jeep if we can get the rear welded in the jeep before then....

OffroadRunner 01-09-2002, 07:11 PM Oh OK That is the little stream that comes in from the left of the trail as you are going up. I remember now. 85 Trailtoy you comin out Sunday?????? Ztec 01-09-2002, 08:18 PM dammit my jeep is always busted when somthin is goin on JamisonWorkshop 01-10-2002, 07:12 AM Why you welding up the rear on the jeep. He is supposed to get that thing fixed. Anyway I be ready to go. WVA side of 33 does seem pretty promising as far as new trails go. We'll have to see I guess. GETMRUTN 01-10-2002, 09:13 AM a bunch of us were there a couple of months ago and old long run was the best trail as far as difficulty. The water is all gone so you can drive up the creek bed. We all spent the night looking for new trails and there just isn't any unless you just want a change of senery. GWNF is pretty limited as far as trails go without getting onto private property. OffroadRunner 01-10-2002, 10:10 AM Jeep wouldn't cover it. ABUSE.......So untill he can get gears and an Ox locker. We are going to weld it.....They said that the spider gears were missing several teeth. I am not even sure there is enough there to weld it but we will see tomorrow.. OffroadRunner 01-10-2002, 10:14 AM Roll call fellas... Who's coming? armentdw 01-10-2002, 11:18 AM I'll be there. Do you want to meet at McDorman's on Sunday morning? McDormans's is a small convenience store on the left side of Route 33. It is the last store you'll pass before reaching the forest. Just let me know what time and I'll try to get there early to make sure nobody passes by. OffroadRunner 01-10-2002, 11:45 AM Yeha we can meet up at McDormans. Lets say around 10 or so... Anybody else coming????? JamisonWorkshop 01-10-2002, 12:45 PM Check , Im In. Too bad bout the Jeep. Im sure he will like being locked though. :D armentdw 01-10-2002, 01:17 PM Here's a pic I took of the back section of Kephart. It's the hardest trail I've found around here. Here's a link to some other pics too http://community.webshots.com/user/armentdw http://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4/8/11/46/28981146PlrHstUVLw_ph.jpg fourwd1 01-10-2002, 01:19 PM Originally posted by little_joe Has anyone done any scouting out Rt 33 into WVA? That's still USFS land, looks as if there has to be something out there. I have a few times, but haven't found anything great yet. There was a trail behind the spy station that started out decent and then hit hard road and dead ends. The shooting range trail has nice scenery and is nice and smooth for stock vehicles. OffroadRunner 01-11-2002, 08:54 AM Come on guys. I know there has to be more then 1 guy that wants to go play this weekend. Armentdw is the only one?????? | |
