US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

While at Expo East I met a bunch of new members I asked to to connect with this group. Lovely couples 1 from Chantilly another from Fairfax and a lovely chap from Annapolis.

Sorry that you guys didn't camp in the OB camping area. We had about 30 vehicles and a nice visit from the OB team.

With so many of us we will be sure to reserve a camping area next year as well. Maybe you can find other OB members at the RTT Rally.

Look for a F150 with the largest CVT tent and a trailer with a motorcycle and bicycle. He is from Canada and drove from Ann Arbor Michigan. He is a Toyota engineer in the truck division. Great guy to hang out with and get insites on the new vehicles coming.
 
Yup. need to do it again, Weather it be TW or OB.
Yep I haven't been out much. I went to overland expo Saturday and that was the first thing I have been able to really do in a while. I started a new job working at a vineyard/ brewery and we just got through harvest for the grapes I think we crushed around 160 tons plus trying to brew beer and opena brewery. needless to say life has been interesting. Some 80+ hour weeks and I'm getting too old for that anymore
 
Ok so I "started a build thread" IDK how this will work I copied and pasted from TW and it's there you just have to hit the expand button
 
NOVA OB,
I figured I’d start with a post here since it’s the most checked area of OB for members local to NOVA.

A few of us are planning a trip beginning here in NOVA and going to the end of the Trans-Taiga in northern Quebec and back. For those who do not know, the Trans Taiga is a 666 kilometer dirt road ending in the most remote place anywhere in North America. We are planning the trip for the end of Sept/early October of 2020, during a small window between the end of black fly/mosquito season and the snow season.We figure it’s a four day trip journeying up to Northern Quebec, two to four days on the Trans Taiga itself, and then another four days to get home. While the trip is not technical (heavy rock crawling, deep mud, etc), it is extremely remote, so anyone considering going should have a reliable rig, be extremely well prepared and completely self sufficient. With that said, we are hoping for a group of 4-6 rigs, so that we can team up and make the trip as fun and as successful as possible. If you are interested, please let me know and we can discuss it further. Hit me here, PM me, or hit me on my mobile - 404-680-2318. Cheers!

Thanks for calling earlier it was good to catch up. If we can pull it off work-wise we are in !! This would a be great trip !!

Always great catching up, brother. Hope you can make the trip with us. I’ll definitely keep you posted. Hopefully our paths will cross sooner than later on the water. Cheers!

Hi all! I am a neewbie here I just joined Saturday at the Overland Expo. I am in Culpeper Va, which is probably like no man's land here. I'm kinda wondering if I'm in the right place or is there a more local thread for me to be in?
Welcome from Woodbridge! My fiance and I go through Culpeper a bunch because I love old house corn whiskey.
 
@geekyadam .... there's Whiskey in them there hills?????? :)

Where?
Culpeper. we have a bunch of wineries and breweries plus several distilleries. Including the states only legal moonshine distillery. Old House vineyard has the winery a distillery, and a brewery. Gee you'd think we're a bunch of drunks out here but I assure you not. Lots of fun free activities at most all the wineries as well with live music
