Patti, Robin and I met about seven other vehicles (including DeJA member, Da Mutt) yesterday at GWNF near Harrisonburg, VA. I've tried to upload photos to my gallery but apparently it still has problems. I'd have to say we had a blast, maybe the most FUN ride yet.
I'd like to throw out the possibility of a stocker's trail ride in early September with the possibility of making it a camping event. Patti has a relatively stock TJ with 30" tires and no lift and had no problems whatsoever, ask her! There are long trails through the woods with multiple stream crossings and a deep river crossing that was very interesting. Waterfalls, rapids, mud, logs, you name it. Great primitive campsites (no services), and easy in-out trail access. Those of you worried about not being lifted or having tires that are too small will find out just what a stock Jeep can do. This is a great, fun ride and definitely NOT too easy, and definitely NOT too hard, just not as rocky as Paragon and Rausch Creek. There are multiple trails, and all are stocker friendly. If no one is interested in camping, we can get a block of rooms in Harrisonburg, about 15-20 minutes away. This would be a trail ride for those of you concerned about damaging your stock Jeeps, or new to trails/Jeeps.
Maybe some of the modified guys would offer to make this a Jeep 101 ride?
