Once again, as you decide your departure group, email me so I can add you here. These people are looking at this list to see who to wait for. If you're not on THIS LIST, you could be left behind. If you need directions to get yourself to GWNF, go back to the 15 page thread and scroll around.

If you're coming in Saturday morning (Sept. 11th), I strongly suggest you hook up with Kenny (Fly-N-Hi) NOW to make arrangements to meet him at the hotel for the trip to the trailhead. Less chance of being separated and missed that way.

Apparently, the Holy Grail of maps for GWNF is:

National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map #791- Staunton/Shenandoah Mtn. It shows 4x4 trails, hiking/biking trails, etc. (I bought #792 as well)

I just called, plenty are in stock. Go here:

The phone number is at the bottom of the page, I talked to Sheila.

If you book your room through the Days Inn website the rate as of this morning is $55.50 per night.

We will be leaving Dover Friday night after work if anyone is interested in getting a second Dover caravan together. I am flexible on time and departure location.

Just wonder if you folks going to wheel at Stateline trail? I'd love go back there especially in the Fall. It may not be this time since it falls on the Sept 11 weekend, we need to go to NYC for special service.

We will never forget ............ :cry:

Later,

Tell us more about this trail...

Tell us more about this trail...
DrJ

Stateline trail is located on the very north side of GWNF directly west of DC where I81 and I66 meet. The trail runs along on the top of the mountain ridge dividing VA and WV. Fall is a perfect time to run this trail. At the end of the trail, it has an open area to have lunch and enjoy the nice vista from both sides.

The trail is narrow and off chamber “at all time”. But stocker with a good driver can go thru without problems. Don’t run this trail in the rain or snow and make sure there is no oncoming traffic since there is no room to let anyone to pass.

There are numbers of good write up, but I don’t have the links any more. Contact Jackie from OCC for more info. It is also wise to find out if other group running the trail from folks in OCC. You don’t want to have a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere.

Peters Mill is another easy trail in the area. For areas further south of GWNF, check out Shoe Creek and Big Level. It is beautiful country there. Please stay on the trail, pack in and pack out. Have fun and be safe.

Later,

When, When, When????

For how long???

Would love to join the group. Don't see any posted dates and length of time for trip. Just Friday. Which Friday?

GWNF is my favorite place. Bring chain saw! You'll need it! There are many trails at GWNF. Any ATV designated trail is allowed to be treked by jeeps.

Already own map.

Which nights at hotel?

...it got kinda long, so I started the Cliff Notes version. Reading all the threads should get you caught up on who's going from where, and when.

DrJ

(There's more on http://www.delaware4wd.com as well.)

Anybody willing to say when and for how long?

Sorry, the title of the thread is "It's Official...GWNF Stocker Trail Ride- September 11. Thought that kinda said it. I went back and added dates to the Cliff Notes lists.

Go to the Event Calendar for Sept. 10/11/12.

DrJ

BTT

Please... if you signed up on the calendar, pick a time/group and let me know when you're leaving on Friday or Saturday. If you signed up and now you're NOT going, let me know that, too. There are a lot of people on the Event Calendar who haven't spoken up as to when they're leaving.

If you have a question not answered on the threads, PM/email me.

DrJ

We're hoping to get ride in Friday, once the campsite is set up. If we leave at 9AM, we'll get there around 2PM, so maybe we can squeak a short one in. Cell phones don't work in the forest, so we can't really call. Did you fiqure out how far from us your timeshare is?

DrJ

Cool...PM me your cell number.
