Just moved to the Alexandria area. Got me another 4runner and looking for anyone in the area that would be interested in hitting up some trails.

Joe

They are out there but this forum is rather inactive. try hitting up the main 3rd/4th/5th gen threads. might have better luck

Where in Alexandria?

I'm near the Huntington Metro Station

Neat-o. I'm maybe 10 minutes from DC, further north along the yellow line.
Can't find any good driving areas other than the parkway to Mt. Vernon.

Ya, I haven't found any either. I normally drive the Mt. Vernon Pkwy home and the highlight for me this year has been driving through the small parks when it was snowing.

sounds like you guys need to visit Red Cloud off road park down in woodbridge,(30 min-2hrs away depending on traffic)

Red Cloud Off Road | Jeepers

What parks? I haven't found any good ones, and Huntley Meadows isn't really drivable.

I just remembered a pretty sweet road.
It's called "The Parkway" in Alexandria, VA, the grovetown area. It's really residential but hilly. There's also a fun little quasi-twisty and hilly road called Memorial St. and Gentele Ct. The end of Gentele by The Parkway is really hilly, and there are two speed humps. One is alright, and another is at 38.778024,-77.094869 which is really terrible and is a killer.


If you follow The Parkway across Kings Highway it leads into a little residential area with one exit, and it's alright and hilly, but nothing special.

Those are pretty much the only interesting places I can think of at this moment. It's not really worth it cause they're out of the way, but I just can't think of more.

@Scott@Hightech ,
Looks like fun, but where exactly is that lol? Sucks when my 4r is pretty much stock.

its right off 95S @ Price william county parkway. right in the commuter lot. about 15 minutes south of springfield

I might go and check those places out. Mine is pretty much stock too, I have a 3" lift that I haven't found time to put on yet.

Would anyone be interested in meeting up at the Giant on Telegraph/Hayfield or maybe the Walmart on Manchester one of these Sundays? I think there is a car group that meets every Sunday at the Giant. I've seen some pretty sweet rides there.....so if no T4R's show up it won't be a wasted trip. Haha. I can't this Sunday, but figured I would throw it out there.

Ya i've seen them out there a few time when the family and I would eat at Katana. Looks like a heavy chevy corvette group. I only live a few miles down the road off telegraph as well. Keep me posted.


Joe

bump. I'm gonna try and make it to the meet posted above this coming monday.

Did you end up going to this? What was the crowd like?

Negative. I might try next week but it's unlikely
