- Thread starter MA_Trooper
- Start date
Honestly, this is the first time in years that I have had weekends off.
BIG Question though is were do we want to go? Do we want to keep hitting GWNF or do we want to look else ware? I can post a thread on ExPo to see if they have any recommendations. I do not know of anything closer than that for a "day run".

Rite rite. Not to side track the thread. I work a weekend every 5-6 weeks.
Something to think about are the seasonal trails that come open this time of year (closed spring thru fall). The down side is, the hunters out there might not like a group running out there.
All depends what you want to do within the bandwidth allowed. Ranges from parks to formal camp sites to off the grid unmaintained roads with primitive sites.
Next question is to determine if you need anything or anyone to complete said objectives.
For the money and time - GWNF is your ticket for exploring and camping 1-2 days. About only place that will get you out of cell range, local traffic and give you full experience.
Couple closer day trip places you can pay to wheel and camp but still expect to travel to route 81 to access. Also couple great places with taller peaks on other side of Virginia. Still a few off-road parks within same travel distance if you just wanted to wheel and test truck components.
IMO thank God these places are at the distance away that they are. Any closer to the cities and I would have to go much further away to get away.

With the encroaching holidays my Saturdays are booked but I would be down.
Still looking for options on the 16th.
As far as suggestions, they have been thrown out crosses discussed against multiple threads IMO. Best one can do for solid advice is do some independent research on somewhere you want to go and anyone with info will share or advise.
The more the merrier for clean up details. But yeah my Saturday’s are packed as well. Maybe Sunday for me.

Oh yea, been doing some looking around and looking at Gaia. Meant it in the aspect that we still had no plans for the 16th so trail clean up day could happen then.
