Will put you down as "tentative" and keep our fingers crossed

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be in Australia for a few weeks at that time, but if I can sneak back just for the weekend, I'll let you know!

Just did Flagpole for the first time this past weekend with RVA Toyota Trucks...what a phucking blast! I earned my Appalachian Pinstripes...
Yes, it was cold as all get-out and there is still plenty of snow/slush/mud on the ground.

LOL, it's a short flight. You should be able to make it here and back for a couple of days.
Safe trip bud!

Glad you had a good time! It's a great local trail.
You just still stoked about that run or did you want to be added to the list this one too?

Still stoked, my back needs a rest though. (arthritis + sleeping in back of 4Runner)
It's been stated many times here, you will be amazed at the abilities of these trucks even if you haven't put a lot into them.
Didn't mean to hijack anything, just hoping to push someone towards doing it if they were a bit apprehensive.

I may be able to hook up with you all on one of the days this year. I'll be up in Maryland the week of X-mas as usual. Just have to figure out when we are heading back down South.

Just a minor heads up. Pretty much goes without saying out here in the east but you’ll likely earn some stripes on this trip, particularly on day 2 as it is a bit tighter.
I don’t really buff my truck out much, so it’s not that bad from one run...

@ gfxcruncher
If I make it we can compare the Florida ones from Ocala to the Shanendoah/George Washington. Rausch Creek also has done a number on mine, on one of our bi-annual Northeast trips.

@ Cymon
looking forward to it, hope you can make it!
Interesting side note, this trip marks the 1 year anniversary of getting after it with this truck, the last winter trip with
@ carlos.elmotor
was my first run. Honestly, I’ve never buffed it out... so I’ve got a years worth of stuff going on. After this trip I have to attend to some cosmetic details

I won't be able to make it this year, but if you guys don't mind a guy driving in from Ohio I'd be happy to join in on the fun next year.

I'd definitely be interested in doing this trip. I've been wanting to hit some trails closer to home; I've only been going on NC trails this last year. Hope y'all don't mind a 3rd genner going with haha
