Northern Virginia Roll Call

Sorry man got out of work late and just saw this.

 

Looks nice man

 

So probably not this late notice this year, but interested in the details on the trips, and what all Cape Lookout entails in order to attend? Do you need permits? Family friendly trip?

 

Amen, this week I still have students. It's just nice that its only a group of 8, 13 y/or that want to be here, which makes for much better days.

 

Happy friday! Hopefully it goes smoothly for everyone and it turns into 1700 quickly!

 

Mornin fellas

 

Morning ladies ......holy crap TGIF! Short week but snowballed into cleaning up the mess i came back to fml.

 

Now that’s a good morning!

 

FML. Quick easy oil change turned to shit. Tried to get it knocked out early before it gets hot and muggy. One of the bolts in my skid plate oil filter access won’t come of. Weld but in the back came unwelded. Can’t get a wrench on it because of the weld and vise grips won’t grab it. And my angle grinder broke so I can’t cut it off. So much for an easy day. First day off in 2 weeks to just do my own thing.

 

Oof

 

Anyone planning on doing this?

I plan to not be there...

 

I'll wave as I pass by on my way to NY

 

Thinkin bout it

 

I might try to make it this year. (I say that every year & haven't made it to one yet)

 

You need tools?

 

You book a spot on a ferry to get your truck over. Permits are gotten on the island from the rangers. No paved roads, all sand. I didnt get stuck at all when I was there, except once but i got out without any recovery gear, and Im obviously 2wd. The only thing that was rough was the no-see-um bugs, so depending on your sleeping situation they can suck. And it gets hot so bring plenty of extra water.

The more crowded part of the island has bathrooms, the far end, where we went, you dig holes in between the dunes. But totally worth it for bonfires on the beach and being alone.

 

Nothing beats pooping in a hole...

 

I mean, I knew Kristen was the one when she said yes in the middle of a trip where she was getting eaten alive by bugs and digging her own holes

 

Yes. Need to buy an angle grinder so heading up to do that in a bit. HF shit is cheap enough they are disposable. Break one, toss it and replace it.
