April 4-6 is set in stone. Friday through Sunday. We will be camping in the AO. Glad to hear you're coming along!

Thanks for the great pic, Beth! Check out the thread on the Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally we are having in about 5 weeks, first weekend in April. I will be updating that thread tomorrow night, so look for it to be at the top of the "new" list shortly.

Well, went to the AO this weekend to take a look at the roads we would be travelling on. Got some really detailed maps from a friend who lives in the area, too. It's a long hike back into the mountains from Harrisonburg to get to where we are going, but suffice to say it will make for a nice...

I got an email from the ranger in that forest district, and she said that 6x6 trucks are no problem, and she will be sending me a brochure showing me the approved offroad trails in that area for us in April. Other than looking forward to getting that in the mail, I will be offroading the...

According to Four Wheeler magazine a few years back, the CJ-5 series of Jeeps and their derivatives (M38A1, CJ-6, etc.) have seen more trail miles than anything else on Earth, hands down. Millions produced from 1953 to 1983, and a few other countries made them as well. Didn't have a chance...

I just sent an email to the rangers in charge of that area of G.W. Forest. Will see what they say about larger vehicles on that trail system. Also asked for maps if they had them of the trails. As for a date, would April 4-6 work for most people? First weekend in April, kinda a warm up for...

Will check on that, Lanty, and repost the info I find out.

One of the places I found was the Big Boys Playground - I haven't gotten any feedback from the owners, so I'm not sure if they are very responsive. Found this place just west of I-81 near Harrisonburg in the GW National Forest: Rocky Run OHV area. Public land, 2 10-mile trails with lots of...

I am gauging interest in an early Spring rally for Steel Soldiers in the Virginia area. I found a couple offroad parks that are okay with larger vehicles, one is in Harrisonburg, VA, the other east of Charlottesville VA. Time frame would be late March or April, so this would be a warm-up event...
