You're all welcome to join us. Last year's ride was alot of fun and turned out to be an impromptu Fall Colors Run since the leaves in WV were already turning.

More details to follow. This is a stock-friendly trail run.

Keyser, WV
Wal-Mart parking lot, up front near the gas station.


Last year the weather was great. We had a little rain, more little a sprinkle during the night that went through quickly. The temps dipped to the mid-40s at night. On the day we arrived (Sat), we set-up camp, had some lunch and went wheeling. We were out all day which turned into night wheeling.

Hopefully the run will be rescheduled.

 

Seems like a good run...If I get my 4runner back up and running I might be in. I'm originally from WV and live near Wytheville, VA so it wouldn't be a long drive. How many days is it?

 

That's a great place........I sure do miss WV.

 

Two days, Sat to Sunday.

 

Good deal....now if I can find some help on getting this thing back together then I'll definately be there

 

Yes, it's quite nice over in WV:


Just watch out for the unexploded Ordnance

 

looks beautiful.....i cant remember if it was dolly suds but, did u guys get a lot of trail damage?

 

The wife and I are going to try and make it.

 

Wow, I might actually make two runs this year! I'll see if the wife is up to a camping trip, but if not, I'll be there for all the fun.

 

Nope, not on that run. The S-10 needed a strap when we were playing in one of the old coal pits.

 

It's "primative" camping, like finding a bush or a tree to squat behind.

We can have a fire, most camp sites have a fire ring.

 

Im gonna try to make it out to this one as well. It all depends on my school schedule though! Man, these upcoming wheeks will be the most wheeling ive done in my whole life!

 

I hope you guys can make the Oct 8-9 West Virginia run. If you can, this weekend would be a good opportunity to pull out your camping equipment for a gear check.

 

I'm in, but my wife isn't, doesn't want to make the trip in the Bronco II! I'll get my gear out this week and see how it is, just the small tent, bag & stove for me.

BTW, how far is Dolly Sods from here?

 

Well, I'm guessing CORE meet again in Keyser, WV before heading to the Blackwater Canyon/Dolly Sods area. I took a look on Mapquest and Keyser, WV is about 88 miles from Front Royal. We could meet just west of Winchester on Rt. 50 on that Saturday morning (Oct 8).

I've forgotten how long it is from Keyser to Dolly Sods, maybe an hour or so.

 

Can't make it....runner still down. Slow process doing everything by myself.

 

You guys that are somewhat close to Jeremy should offer to give the kid a hand with getting his 3.slow rebuilt. I am sure he would spring for the Beer and food.

 

Unfortunately, he's almost 300 miles away. Hopefully someone from the Blacksburg/Radford area can help.

 

Got a hold of a guy from Blacksburg but he said he is busy this weekend...oh well...like I said it will take longer to do but at least I could say I got it done myself and am experienced in it! Will help later on down the road...maybe another day I can join you guys in a run.

 

Do you have a garage??
engine hoist?
Compressor and air tools?
