Northern Virginia Roll Call

What @Comatose said but lots of guys do it anyways. Briery branch or switzer lake would be easiest. Make sure you have maps and not just on your phone, extra water, a pack if you get stuck and need to get out, recovery gear, some food, med gear of course and comms. Should be plenty of people up there as well usually so wouldn't be stuck for long even if you did.

 

Its your story now buddy lmao!

 

The people want to know!

 

Thanks for that. I already have GAIA installed onto my phone/ipad, haven't picked up a Garmin Explorer yet which I know can be connected to keep a GPS link. If this weekend is crap, maybe I'll join the next time a group of y'all go up so I'm with another group of peeps.

 

Megamillions by the way, Gentlemen. You gotta play to win.

 

Self etching primer and satin black.

 

Billy had one ready to go randomly in my configuration so it shipped out in a week lol

 

Yeah sorry man I haven't sold all my garage stuff and bed rack so wont have the funds for this like I thought. Next up for dibs unless you can wait until maybe December?

 

Union Springs: Easy. You might use your sliders.
Switzer Lake: Easier. If you're using any armor at all it's because you're driving fast.
Briery Branch Rd/924: Easiest I'm pretty sure I could get my wife's subaru up it (I know I could get a rental honda civic up it).

Switzer lake, then Briery Branch down. It's a nice drive.

^^This. Although I have done it by myself, at night, in the rain.

If you go on a weekend day, the trails are busy enough someone will come help you before you die. This time of year, bring gear to spend the night by your self. There is also shitty cell service on all three trails, so you may have to hike to the top to get coverage and call for help.

 

Hopefully I'll be fine on the easy trails. I won't be completely alone since my girlfriend will be riding with me. I also should be fine with most of the obstacles (if there are any on those trails) since I have a basic 2.5" lift with 33s.

 

Inset is a fancy way of saying positive offset correct?

 

Not what I meant, but at least you'll have something to eat should things go horribly wrong.

 

I know what you meant about being the only vehicle. I'm sure there will be other people around since it will be a Friday evening, but I still might just wait until Sunday.

 

I bought a couple megabillions and a couple powerball. Figured i would be throwing away ten bucks on something, might as well try to get a nice return on it.

 

Anyone got any thanksgiving-week offroading/camping trips that they are doing?

 

You can get stuck on Union Springs... In a couple of spots. Wouldn't recommend Union Sprigs alone, unless you have a winch.

 

Yea, I bought 2 megamillions tickets. You'll know if I won... I'll lacquer C notes all over my truck.

 

I wonder how much weight that would add...

 

What should my next mod (reasonably priced) be? Smaller pulley and short throw going on this weekend. Hopefully front end stuff the week after.

 

Techdeck with a fleshlight mount.
