I'm going to have to drop out guys. I'd love to make it up but it looks like I'm going to be sticking around the house and working on some stuff here. Hope ya'll have a great time out there!

My CB is wired into a 12V (cigarette lighter) connector and thus only receives power when my truck is running. I don't have an external battery that I can hook up my CB to, so mine won't be available.
Stokesville has wifi that is fairly reliable, especially if you're at the pavilion where the router is. I'll be there Friday, mid day . We can totally make a game time decision for the meet up location.
Definitely sounds like an option. Let's discuss on where to explore Friday. I am not familiar with any large free sites that are fairly accessible from the main road. @FJ60pete provided us with coordinates on a site that I think we should check out. If it's large enough to fit ~6 rigs and their tents, accessible without traversing questionable terrain (keeping the safety of those coming in by themselves at a later time), and have not yet been claimed, then we may have a winner.
There are 3 rigs, so far, that will leave the DMV area around noon and should be in that area by around 3pm. We'll only have an hour or two to find a suitable site and communicate the information to the rest of the OB members before they leave to come meet us. It may be a bit of a challenge. =)

@geekyadam are they wanting people to make reservations before hand or can you pay when you get there?
Also, is there going to be some sort of "group". Like when one calls they say I am with X so they have a site near everyone?

No idea, only have info above. I'm not making reservation. I'm assuming the meet point inside the trail will work out. But just in case I'm bringing cash and hopefully they're cool with that at the campground.
Pathfinder I
I think it's 10am for the Stokesville Market and 11am for the trailhead camp site (so those at market can meet at site afterward).
Thanks GeekyAdam!
Is there anyone driving down from Maryland area Saturday morning who would like to convoy?
Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
Likewise, im shootin to leave manassas round 7pm if you wanna convoy
Pathfinder I
We're heading up Friday evening, and so long as @DRJ and the others confirm the trailhead camp site is good, we'll head there. Otherwise we'll head to meet up with @KephartRC at the Stokesville Campground.
