US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

Fellas, I’m dying to get out soon. A few of us have been in touch and met up. Calendar is right for adventure, M A O F next weekend, RTTR in mid Oct and OE east in November. I’d like to get out and test out some new gear. Not looking to hardcore wheel, I’ve got a TJ for that. Maybe fireroads, trails within 75 miles of DC. Thoughts for trip soon? sabjku has some good ideas.

You know I'm always down for getting out. It can be for a day, weekend, whatever and wherever! Novabound and I had a great day on Saturday-ran Peters Mill Run which was good for both of us since we're rookies at that, had a nice lunch at the top of Woodstock Tower Rd., grilling under the awning, and then did some exploring of some of the backroads through Fort Valley and along the Shenandoah River. All in all, a fun day!

If a few of the other folks in the area want to try and meet up at some point this week, let's do it. We can all meet and see who's down for some day or weekend trips. It's all about getting out and having fun and seeing new places!

Turns out we have a wedding to go to that weekend, so now I can't go to Appalachian Rendezvous and I'm very pissy about it. One of my best buds so I can't skip it. Hey next year you can bring the new cub! ;)
 
Some sent that to me on Expo the other day. I am out of town for a bit but if its around when I get back then I might snag it. Price seems decent.

Welcome! You've come to the right thread for people posting outings around this region. Come join us on meet-ups, other events and trail rides or let us know if there are any events down your way. Many of us are still running mostly stock rigs (myself included).

I see pictures and posts about people going here and there. But how come these outings are rarely posted in this group for the rest to join? If this thread is for meeting new people and enjoying gatherings together then it seems counterproductive to post “look what I did without inviting you” updates. Maybe it’s just me, but I check here regularly to see if any “Meetups” are being organized. And even though there are rarely any meetups, there’s no shortage of updates of trips people scheduled privately. [emoji848]

Is there a Virginia, DMV, NOVA Overlanders group? It would be easier for getting groups together. This is a NOVA Va thread, but an actual group, would make it possible to plan trips, overland festivals, etc. Not everyone checks this thread or responds.

JRElaxED...I haven’t seen one, but no reason we couldn’t start a separate thread.

But isn’t NOVA/MD basically DMV? [emoji16]

:grin:Funny you mention that. I personally thought about that for this past weekend, but with our schedules we didn't even decide on anything until 1pm yesterday and we were gone in 20 minutes lol. This is all kind of new to myself, and Novabound and JRelaxed-the first, and only two people I've met on here so far, since we're about 10 minutes from each other!

We used last weekend and this weekend to try and search out a few spots within 90 min or so of the DC area that would actually be appropriate for getting a decent group together. Some place close with some fun forest roads, and/or mild trails, and a nearby area to boondock. We probably could have searched on the forums, but the exploration part is all the fun:grinning:

With that said, we came across what we felt were some pretty nice locations, big enough to get a decent size group together, which would be great.

Again, this is all new to myself, so whatever the proper protocall is for getting some folks together I'm game! Heck, I get out almost every weekend so I'm always looking for something.
