I just ran this trail with a bunch of Jeeps, and long story short the runner had to be towed back to the house. Seems to be an electrical issue. The weather is supposed to be ****ty anyway. Hopefully ol blue will be going again soon!

According to the ranger's office, the trail will be closed for the winter on January 1. Being that this is in my backyard, dates are wide open.

Exactly, I was assuming there was one under there already!

I just replaced both front axles last week without removing any studs or using a pry bar.. The trick is using a Jack stand under the rear end on the opposite side of your work. This allows the front suspension to be compressed enough to have the angle of the axle nearly perpendicular to the...

Would this be too long of a haul for you as a day trip?

Yeah, that's a bit of a haul. There's a lot of good riding down this way. You'll have to venture down in the spring when the temps are conducive for camping. I have a membership to a private lake that's great for camping and is in close proximity to at least 2 trails. I plan on hitting this...

Well fellas, old blue is fixed and I'm ready to wheel! This is a great little trail, about 14 miles long. It's listed as FR 162 on the map, near Sherando Lake here in the valley. The trail connects FR 42 to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoyed our last trip, would like to get another one in this...

When would be a good time for y'all to get together again? I'm out of commission for a little bit. On the way home from Edinburg I had a cv joint shatter, so needless to say - I'm in the middle of front axle replacement. Any thoughts on bald mountain trail?

See ya then!

@ ar1five- are you still trying to caravan?

@4ever4running: that would suck if ya got called in. Not to sound ****ty, I plan on going regardless. @ar1five: I work evenings, so I'll have everything together Friday afternoon. It would take about 1hr 15min to get there from the boro. How. About 10am at the shoney's parking lot (2040 rosser...

Hey ar1five, took care of the extra stops I thought I was going to have to take care of the day of the trip. If ya want to caravan, I'm down with that. I'm in the boro and can meet up pretty much anywhere if you're planning on taking 81.

Likewise! Looks like you NOVA folks are getting more weather than we are in the valley. I plan on bringing my chainsaw in case we find a tree blocking the trail.

I'm definitely in, looking forward to it! See y'all then!

Looks like the BP station on route 11 in Edinburg would be a good place to meet. They sell day passes too. @ ar1five - I would caravan, but may have errands to run along the way.
