Trails of Stafford, VA-Lots of Pics

I've been finding lots of good offroad trails in the woods around Stafford, VA where I live. I want to start putting some pics up as I ride them in case anyone else in the area wants to come check them out.

The first area I will post is what I'm told is called "The Pipeline", an area only about 5 minutes from where I live. After driving these trails today this is my favorite area I've been to so far, there are enough paths to spend most of the day out here and not back-track at all. As you will see from the pics there are several different types of terrain, mud holes, rock, creeks, steep grade climbs and descents, etc... I won't do a lot of typing but will try to let the pictures speak for themselves. One of my buddies met me and we drove around these woods for almost 3 hours today and called it quits when the daylight started fading, there were still several paths we hadn't explored yet. While viewing these please keep in mind that it is hard to get a good judgment of how steep some of the terrain is and how tight some of the maneuvers between trees and such were. Some areas of these trails were fairly difficult to navigate, which makes it all the more fun. Hope you enjoy!

near the entrance to the trails






15-20 yard mud hole


down hill to small creek crossing followed by up hill

posing in the main creek bed under fallen tree bridge

 

very steep uphill loose rock/slate














another extremely steep hill, wasn't sure i would make this one but it was cake in 4H




made it to the top


F150 making the climb

 

Looks great! I wish we had forrest like that close to me. Man I miss living in Oregon for that!

 

lots of bends and tight squeezes




steep descent




at the bottom of the hill was the only dead end we hit all day, had to turn around and F150 took the lead










never explored the trail to the left

 

Looks good! Maybe one day I can make it out there

 

found some trails back down to the creek again












more steep uphill climbing


uphill, tell me that doesn't look fun






found some more mud, these next few were DEEP




get some




more tight squeezing


one of these was too deep and wet and we couldn't make it through.

 

nearing the end where we came back out to the main road




i've been muddier, but silver does a good job of blending with the color of this mud when it dries




back at the home station






my son had a great time









now i'm scared to wash it and see how many scratches i've aquired. subscribe to this thread, more to come.

if smanz and namyo would post some of their pics from our trip last weekend there will be some more pics from another trail area in stafford as well.

 

Sweet pics. Some of those mud holes looked a little deep. Where did you find that trail? I'm pretty familiar with Stafford I might try to check that out.

 

pm coming.

 

HEW YEA!!

 

Nice pics!

 

What I gots from Staford

 

Looks like fun.

After next week I should be in good shape to come out and play

That looks awesome man. It looks like fun. A few of those creeks and mud holes probably got a little nasty looking after all the rain we've been getting lately.

 

Nice trails, sick truck!

 

awesome pics man!
Toshi has a crapload of pics from the trails we took last weekend. He probably has some nice ones of Jeremy and Joes trucks on the trails. Those trails you found look way better than the ones we took. I still haven't really washed mine yet. Took the power washer to the front end so the guys at the alignment shop could get a nice clean attempt at aligning it (which they did a decent job of btw).
Let's set up a day to go exploring those trails man. I'm all for it!

 

GREAT PICS MAN

 

Ok dammit my ears are burning!

"Man that Toshi is a bitch its been a week, where are those pics???"

Hahah uploading them now bishes. Sorry about the lame lateness!

 

Pics from the Stafford mod day and the mudding trip afterwards!

Let me know if you want any in hi-res!

 

haha sweet! we can call that area the "winery trails". i didn't realize how washed out those trails were after all that rain we got last week. its funny there a couple of pics where you can clearly see a dry route right next to a muddy route, and in every single one we opted for the mud, LMFAO! thanks toshi.
