Northern Virginia Roll Call

Since, the trails at sleepy creek will be closing at the end of February, I’m going to try to get back out there in the next couple weeks. Anyone else interested and/or have a day or two that works?

 

I’m interested for sure and could tentatively do the 23/24 of feb.

 

I'm in if I'm off that weekend. I want to see these "fun" trails @3pooches speaks of

 

Is it worth taking my truck on these trails without armor? I've got the TRD IFS skid but we all know that is barely a step above aluminum foil.

 

You’re gonna get mixed responses but speaking from personal experience, I’ve been there 7-8 times ans 2-3 had trucks with no armor and they’ve been fine. It’s really nothing crazy.

Edit: I see now from your avatar you have the trd one like you mentioned, not the stock one like I assumed. That’s 1/4” aluminum and pretty friggin stout. It’ll do great.

 

I'm sure there are bypasses for the rougher stuff? Thought is I can bring by DSLR out and get some shots of the rigs.

 

There really isn’t anything too rough lol we had a bone stock 2nd gen out there, and even took him on the harder trail, and he was alright. Hit a couple rocks underneath but didn’t do any real damage. We can easily just not do that trail when we go out.

 

In theory, I should have a pretty capable truck between the upcoming mods and the locking diff, just don't wanna end up with doors that don't open again. Went through that with my old Jimmy but that truck got jumped and rolled over a few times too...

 

Nah you’ll be alright. There are no sections where damage is highly likely. Just don’t go drifting corners and end up in a tree lol

 

Good, fancy photos for everyone!

 

Anyone here tried Mission BBQ? It's some serious fire.

Brought my father there, who is a BBQ snob and he liked it a lot.

 

Not to bad for a chain restaurant. I have been spoiled by having great BBQ in NC.

 

Exactly how I feel about it. I've been spoiled by BBQ in Mississippi/Georgia and finding anything decent here is a challenge.

 

I'm still on the fence about coming to flagpole tomorrow. Depends on how much homework I get done tonight. Just wanted to let y'all know.

 

Sooo....
Open to suggestions and changing the specifics

Sleepy Creek on Saturday 23 and/or Sunday the 24.

Okay if I’m free I will come by for observation and some comic enjoyment laughter and lend a hand where I can....

 

Got out this am, tried my new boots, cabelas 2000gram insulate, actually was sweating a little.
But ill take warm over freezing my ass off.

Didn't see anything, but time outdoors is always quality.

Came back in to practice archery with extra layers. It's respectable for 32 yds. New TAP. Stabilizer is huge improvement with dampening vibrations.

Then had a bald eagle circling overhead.

 

Is season still in?

 

Remind the uninformed... is sleep creek non slider/skid friendly? If so, I can prolly do either but definitely the 24th because the misses works that day.

 

It's great going at noon.. cool place and pretty good BBQ.
