Anyone in N. VA

[MikeD]

I'm local to NOVA...ran a couple of trails around here, as well as more central VA too (Crozet, Shoe Creek), I was always in my Jeep(s), so I'd be interested in doing some trails in the 4Runner now. Y'all typically do an out-and-back, or do a 2-3 day camping run?

Would very much like to get out on the trail with some other 4Runners - especially with "neighbors" from NOVA. I've done all my local wheeling as out and back - would consider a camping weekend for the right venue (e.g., Potts Mtn Jeep Trail near(ish) Roanoke.

I'm interested in getting back out on Union Springs (to Flagpole Knob: Union Springs trail start 11550 Union Springs Rd: 38.47496, -79.07474). And pending the arrival of my first grandchild preventing it, I'm thinking next Friday 7/3 (or Saturday or Sunday) might work if anyone is interested. Its a bit over 2 hours from my Vienna home and I would aim to get there early (8ish) to beat the inevitable crowd.

I've just about decided to do the Rausch Creek guided ride on August 1 (Offroad Consulting Hard Green-Easy Blue Guided Ride). Hope to see some other VA 4Runners there!

And I'm up for my favorite trail, Bald Mtn/Big Levels, almost any weekend past the 4th - its a little over 2.5 hrs from the beltway. Bald Mtn Trailhead - Google Maps
There are some nice first come first served camp sites along the trail.

I am off next Friday and interested as I will most likely be camping that weekend at my friends property near Bentonville would love to do Rausch Creek as well but out of town that weekend let me know. If you plan on going I will give you my contact info so we can get coordinated.

Here is a list of trails I've done in the area:

- Canaan Loop
- Forest Road 18
- Peters Mill
- Flagpole knob (Union Springs)

I'd say the Canaan loop is still my favorite, although union springs was the most technically fun/challenging. I'd love to test the limits and try something a bit harder, although I'm 100% stock and even on union springs I was using almost all of my clearance.

Done those as well. I’m in Richmond. Down to meet up if something gets planned. I use Gaia GPS. I have a several routes that are mostly between Harrisonburg and Lynchburg Reservoir. Some are 40-60ish miles with mostly dirt. Enchanted Creek is a fun trail with the tunnel. Not technical at all.

Let me know I am always down if I have a little heads up have OnX account so can find the trails shoot me an email [email protected] have a fly-fishing lesson on 6/13 so will be out in the Edinburg area that weekend lots of trails out that way.

I am going to be in that area on Tues/Wed, staying in Shenandoah. Anything on OnX you think would be worth it while I am in the area?
