Kephart can you give us the location of the camp site you're heading to? Something I can put into Google Maps.
Here's the Google maps link. Let me know if it works. Its not the only campground in the area, it's just one I go to because of access to the mountain bike trails, hiking & fly fishing. But the place is a gem.

K it's 7am now and it's showing 66 as fastest route but that's going against traffic. I'm going to try again at 5pm today and see if one of the other routes is better. (Probably take one of the other routes anyway...more time but less stress is normally my preference)

Yeah I'll do one once we confirm exactly where we're meeting. My plan is to meet at campsite Friday night, then hit trail in morning. We can wait til late morning to give travel time for those waiting til Saturday morning to head out rather than Friday night. So I'll make the rally point for Saturday late morning, say 10am, or is that too early for anyone? Let me know here asap.
@KephartRC is there a gas station near the trailhead that everyone could meet at?
Stokesville market is just outside the campground. *they also have a great beer selection

There's also North River campground in that general area. Its a smaller camp but still nice. I stayed there earlier this year when I ran flag pole.

Woops! I was seemingly out of the loop with messaging yesterday. I have a friend coming into town on Friday afternoon/evening (haven't figured out the arrival time just yet), so we may head up to get there Saturday morning. We would definitely arrive before the Rally Point meet time to exchange pleasantries and what not over some breakfast coffee
.

Okay I think we just about got this ironed out. Our plan is head to Stokesville Campground Friday 9/15 after 5 or 6pm, arriving there sometime after 8:30pm. Next morning we'll meet up at Stokesville Market for breakfast at 10am. That's where I'll make rally point for.
Stoked to see anyone that can make it!

Once we get some tentative numbers, I'll message Chris Scott, the owner and let him know. Depending on how many rigs we've got I'll have him block off Overland Bound member area. The place is typically never packed with the exception of big mountain bike race weekends.
Count me in. I will most likely head down early, 1PM or so, to avoid traffic.
I will probably make the 10am rally point on Sat. My wife wants to go so getting off work, heading home in Waldorf traffic, then packing everything up and heading out will take some time. Idk if anyone is bring dogs but I will have 2. Their first time camping so bare with us on that!

I hope everyone is enjoying 'the workin' man's weekend'! Here is the link to the Rally Point page for the meet up as per the exchanges here on the thread. Check it out, please let me know what you think and if anything needs to be changed.
