    There used to be a black/red topper F150 on high knob. Are you near the Jurassic Park Jeep by KFRR?

    We need to do a local get together one day with everyone. Maybe spread the word around a by getting some other local taco guys on the board as well. Ran into someone last year on 55 in a red Taco that used to be on TW but hasn't posted in a while.

    Was told that stock should be able to make it. I take the challenge and learn from it then


    Warren County Crew:

    0830ish meet at the Apple Mountain Exxon to then roll towards Harrisonburg Sheetz for a meet there at 1000hrs.

    Flagpole Knob for trailride with camping if people are up for it!

    Guess it would be something like this:

    Stock can do it. I have never been up the harder way as I have only been with the camper. Make sure you guys have tow straps and maybe a saw we had to clear 3 trees out of the way when we went up

    If you stick to the Switzer lake route you will most likely be fine. You could then come back down the back side I can't remember the road. The Union Springs route may be difficult but Ihave never gone that way so I can't really speak on that personally
