Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Gulches is worth a trip at least once! lots a fun stuff to do with a mildly built rig.. If I were driving 5+ hours for a trip though id look at staying for the weekend but that's just me

 

I'm considering this... Friday and Saturday camping.

 

I will be there! I know the place pretty well and once I got a feel for your wheeling style I can get you to everything you'd wanna do! I carry loads of stuff in my bed as far as tools and recovery etc. Theres a good two days of wheeling for sure! When I was IFS I ran 3-4 of the hardest (skull and crossbones) rated trails but I don't think the rating system is quite right either.. there are triple black trails harder than the skull trails. Its a small but technical park, which is what I like about it. If you've been to uwharrie unlike gulches it has views and is wide open other than that there wasn't much there for me once I ran Daniel and Dickey Bell a few times a piece.. Gulches is more like an amusement park, ride one ride and move on to the next... where as uwharrie you can spend an hour or more riding one trail

 

^This!^

 

I have stones, and it should be early enough in the semester to bring my women too!

My Owb is a gould&goldrich. It's comfy and classy. It also comes with two mounting positions.

If you open carry, just be calm with the dumbass cops that want to disarm you after the democrats call in about a crazy person with a gun. The best remedy to an illegal search or seizure is a lawsuit. Pays for truck parts nicely.

Welcome back! Even if it's just for a visit

 

VA is strap it on and go for OC? No special guidelines or permits?

 

Correct

 

6 hrs from Richmond, 7 from Portsmouth.

I want to be in the RTT club and not drive to an off road park. (My sarcasm)

Also, this place is an off road park. Not forest service roads for miles and miles. You get there and go Wheeling, so if you add normal drive time to almost any other place within reason to us (except big dogs which is event only, or Windrock 9+hrs) its reasonable.

I've been to gulches 3 times and Windrock more than I can count, so forest service roads piss me off.

 

I'm down for a January trip. But do not forget the snow shoe trip of 2015

Someone going to have to pull you out when you get stuck

 

That's why we got winches I'll be in the area the week before so I can keep peeps updated on the conditions

 

That's what trees are for

 

The annual January shoe creek trip is going to be 24/25th. So many of us have been there, I don't see a lot of reason to make it a Friday-Sunday thing. I'll bring birthday cake this year! I also have some cop buddies that want to tag along. I like watching the excursion work

So long as I finish the work on my town home to get it rented, I should be good to go. What's the entry fee?

 

I am thinks my about hitting up the Starr motors toys for tots on the 6th at noon. Have any of you gone to it before, if so is it worth it. They got some easy trails from the looks of it. But it will get me out of the house and in some dirt. Might be fun to roll up on there heep parade with a bunch of yotas

 

Ive been one year (not Toys for Tots). Trail is pretty lame but good for testing out new mods I guess. In fact, Clint is going to test his new front lockers and I think Phil is going as well.

I want to go and drop of some toys and hang out a little but its the wife's bd... she's not having it.

 

Hope to see you there!!!
Im not going to post a thread since there are already a few that are pretty sure they'll come and I do not want a group like we had last weekend at uwharrie! Gulches is far too technical to be trying to get 10+ trucks thru a trail

 

Gentlemen!!

I got the house for mod days on the peninsula. I'm recruiting help to move books and furniture for Sat Dec 20. I'm planning on getting a uhaul to make things easier. If you can lend a hand, I'd really appreciate it. Foods on me!

 

I so want to go. If it were a 3 day weekend, I'd do it... but at 450 miles... I'm going to have to pass. : (

Congrats on the house Ben. I'm thinking there will be a lot of great memories getting made! If I were there, I'd be helping!

 

I'll help if you need it. I've got a tundra also if you need the extra space.

 

Yes please on the help!

I'm planning on just getting a u haul. It's just easier to load and unload.

 

That is Wong gen wong twavel day....
