Hey guys, another member (ar1five) and I are planning a trip to hit some trails in the George Washington National Forest (GWNF) on 11/3/12 and we would like to get a group of guys to go. The trails, Peters Mill Run and Taskers Gap, are located in Edinburg, VA (about 1.5 hours west of DC) so it would be a perfect day trip for anyone in the DC area.

I have run Peters Mill and it is pretty easy and can probably be done with most stock rigs so all are welcome.

Let me know if you are interested and depending on how many people we get, we can make it just a day trip or overnight camping trip.


Here are all the details that you should need:

WHERE
We are going to meet at the Shell Station (Bo's Xpress) in Edinburg because it is close to the trails and they sell the required permit. The address is: 60 Stoney Creek Road, Edinburg, VA 22824.

WHEN
Lets plan on meeting at 11:00 AM and try to hit the trails by no later than noon. That way if anyone is caught in traffic or running late they won't be left behind.

WHO
I would like to try to get a final count by the end of this weekend so we know who to expect and don't leave anyone behind. Please let me know if you're coming and I will add your name to the list. Here is the list of people who are confirmed:
1. 4ever4running
2. ar1five

PERMIT
There is a required permit to use the trails. If I remember correctly I think it costs $10 (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and is good for the day. The permits are sold at the gas station that we will be meeting at so you don't need to worry about it in advance.

CONTACT
Here is my contact info if anyone has any questions or problems on the way to the meeting location.

CB Channel: 6 - I will be on this channel as soon as I hit the road.

I got a stock 4runner which I have been wanting to wheel for awhile. I also got several guys who might be interested. They are running a tacoma, frontier pro-4x and a Land Rover LR3. If all of us decide to come it will be a total of 4 people. I'm not planning on trashing my truck since it's my DD so I will probably want to run Peters Mill Run only.

Cool man, let me know the final tally so I can keep track of how many we have coming.

I don't think you have to worry about that, they are pretty easy trails.

i have a stock 4runner and a friend with a se wrangler on a 3in lift, well definately be there

Tell your friend that he is welcome to come but will be subject to some **** talking :D

Count me in for now!!!! Only way I will miss it is if I got to work!

Hope you can make it!

i would go but it would be almost a 3 hour drive for me

Yeah that is a bit of a drive for a short trip...If there are some trails closer to you, you should organize a trip sometime. I have never been down that was and I am always up for hitting some new trails.
 
Any chance we could move it over one weekend to the 10th? Nov 3 is the start of Muzzle loader season. Let me know if you can. I would love to run with the T4R crew.
 
I'd be down for a day trip. Haven't been on those trails yet. Please post details as they become available: meeting time, location, etc.

Unfortunately I am busy on the 10th...but we could always plan another trip for sometime in December or January.

If Im not working Im down for sure. I will confirm beforehand. Been awhile since I hit the trails.

Will do! We will probably meet at one of the local gas stations where we can buy the passes around 11ish and go from there.

How long does it take to run the trails?

I have only run Peters Mill and it is about 10-12 miles one direction. It took us about 3 hours to finish, but that includes 2-3 stops to get out, take pictures, shoot the ****, etc. The beauty of Peters Mill is that when you get to the end, you can either follow the road to head out or turn around and go back down the other way. I haven't done Taskers Gap, but it looks like it is about 5-6 miles, but I think it dead ends into ATV only trails, so you have to turn around and come back out the other way. Maybe someone who has run Taskers can chime in with more info...
