Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Those aren’t trails. Those are fire roads

 

You can do power line roads in Gloucester and York County but just like Oceana, you will get a ticket if caught and its not much more exciting than a long gravel driveway. Not recommended.

Star Motors in suffolk has a "trail" they made for jeeps and do events every once in a while. Its usually crowed and a 5 minute drive through... Not recommended.

There is shoe creak just west of Charlottesville but I think that's closed by the land owners. It wasn't much more than a rocky trail, with a few "obstacles" off the trail. Recommended for beginners (if its open).

There is Big Dogs (https://bigdogsoffroad.com/) in Gore, VA with some of the best wheeling Ive done but you can only go during "events" and it'll cost upwards of $100 per truck. The events are full of drunk rednecks but its fun and there are miles of trail that ranges in all levels of difficulty. I've had a good time every time I went. Events are usually three days (Fri - Sun). I recommend the trails but the cost is a bit much...

There is Potts Mountain by New Castle VA. Super easy trail but I've heard there are tight spots. Never been.

There is Uwharrie National Forest down by Charlotte NC but the trail is pretty short. Still fun with a nice camp ground near by. Recommended but your day will be over pretty quick so make plans for other things?

Western VA has some no name trails. Check out Mountain Trail Offroad association.

I think there are a few out in Tenn as well that are supposed to be a lot of fun but I've never been.

 

So apparently there are multiple Potts Mountain trails:

https://www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1580-potts-mountain-jeep-trail-craig-county-alleghany-county-va - Moderate (not for stock trucks)

Can you show me them on a map?

 

The 4wd beach in NC is only a few hours from VA beach

 

Not true.....drive 4 hours east

 

You've apparently found a different Pott's mtn than anybody I've ever talked to about it. From the pictures I've seen my truck is deffinately not built enough for it. Ask @Bsheriff11 what it's like if I'm correct @StAndrew bought his truck. Bald mtn in Stauntonis OK from what I've heard and theres other trails over around harrisonberg

 

I bought Brandon’s truck! What part of Virginia are you in? Like the camper/trailer build!

 

@Casper66 ive read through your build because of your trailer and didn’t realize it was you in here until that comment above mine.
I’m always looking at different trailers to make mine better

 

Culpeper kinda North Central Va I'm about 45 minutes above Charlottesville

 

It's me I'm kinda up here in no man's land. The camper is a ball I kinda cheated a little getting one somewhat prebuilt and figuring I can customize it to our needs. Check out Roadtrip camping they have all different kinds of campers for off road and off road trailers with rtt's like the Taxa Wooly bear. There's a couple of local members that aren't active other than that the closest is about an hour away

 

I lurk at the tntt trailer forum and expo portal for trailer ideas mostly. Mine is almost done. Although our last trip to flagpole would have been more suited for a hard trailer like yours. Negative temps and rtt trailer don’t mix all that well but it was fun.

 

What do you mean by "bought" my truck? I didn't steal it.

The Jeep trail they have listed is as "Medium" also says not for stock trucks. "Medium" is pretty subjective if you ask me...

 

Are you the guy I saw pics of up there that had the Woolly Bear

 

I had the wrong person my apologies sir.

 

No mine was a flat bed m116a3 and is now this

 

So you’re up there near Shenandoah, I’ve been wanting to get up that way. Any trails in Shenandoah?

 

@BMValentine what command are you at I’ve seen you on Oceana if I’m not mistaken

 

Wow cool trailer! The fridge is next on our list then solar,a dual battery set up, hot water, and a pottie. After I get the esentials done I'm looking at suspension and stretching the tongue. Hell I still have stuff I'd like to do to the truck

 

Ya hot water is on my short list. I’m thinking an eco temp l5 what are you looking at?
