Who's going to be interested in going this weekend to camp and do Peters Mill Run/Fort Valley area?
US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups
- Thread starter MA_Trooper
- Start date
I’m out. Cabin camping with the family for the long weekend. Plus I just broke my ankle and jumping up into a raised truck is a bit of a challenge.

Bummer! Family time at the cabin sounds nice though! You break it at Snowshoe??

Damn that blows. I tore my rotator cuff first day, first run at Whistler few years ago. I know the feeling.
Hopefully it’ll heal well, and you’ll be back on it.

Might wanna call one of the stores that sell the permits..
Guy's on another forum tried going about 2 weeks ago, and with the Gov. shut down.. Permits were not being sold because of the park system being wrapped up in said shut down.

Good call.....I just phoned the convenience store right there at Woodstock Tower Rd. The PMR trails and the top of Woodstock Tower Rd are both closed. Woodstock Tower Rd. generally closes in the winter anyway, which is no big deal because you can still access PMR right before the gate that shuts down the Woodstock Tower access. I also found out that Elizabeth Furnace campground is closed as well. All of the dispersed campsites may have access but will need to check a bit further into this as they are along some forest roads as well, which may or may not be open.
Also, looking at the weather, we may be in for another bout of snow or wintry mix this weekend. Just something else for everyone to keep an eye on.
I’m in if other folks still plan on going, it may just be a bit of a sufferfest. I’ve got seat heaters.
Just joined the forums, would like to get involved in the Northen Virginia area overland group and meet some other like minded individuals. Totally new to overlanding but have a rig that was built for it. Would love to hear about how i could go about getting involved?

Welcome from Alexandria. You're in the right spot. We are active, with lunches on the weekends, dinner/drink meetups occasionally during the week, and trips. Frequent this thread, and checkout the Rally Points and you'll see them pop up. You'll notice a few posts above yours conversation we had before an outing last weekend. There will be plenty more to come!

This ^^^ Cause truth is that your location, age, gender, or mere existence take second place to...what’s your ride? PS, most everyone in this group agrees that Toyotas are superior. Even the ones that don’t have Toyotas. ;-)
I looked at some review videos after posting and it did not seem to impressive for the price point. Specially when they started talking about the classes.
