I'm in the same boat as you! Just bought my Jeep a few weeks ago and haven't even gotten to put her in 4-wheel-drive yet.

I'll end up heading to the GWNF in VA one of these weekends since I don't think there's anything closer than 2-2.5 hours.

Relocated to VA from SoCal. Wondering the same thing. I've heard GWNF is pretty nice. It's alot of logging trails. Not sure how technical it is. Be cool to get a group together.

I've done Peter's Mill at GWNF already (with my old Explorer) and it wasn't too bad. Definitely stocker-friendly. There was one steep hill with gravel and loose rocks that was a little challenging but I'm sure would be cake for anything with a few mods. Other than that it was just a really nice stroll through the woods, haha. It is also the northern-most trail near Edinburg.

Here's something I just found with a little more info:

George Washington National Forest - North River Ranger District (Harrisonburg Area) - Dirtopia, the Off-Road Encyclopedia

Good deal. Is there good camping in that area too. Make a good weekend out of it.

I don't have any first-hand experience on the camping, but there are TONS of sites not far from the Peters Mill trail, and most are along a river there. Looks like a great spot to camp!

Well, I've only ventured out a few times butall I've found was one power line road off a county road. I don't want to do anything like that since it's trespassing and I'd prefer to stay legal. I'm hoping to make some friends and find someone with land.

The dealer actually told me that the jeep came with friends. Im actually planning a day trip up there next saturday. I want to get the jeep off road and also plan on proposing to the gf. I see this as a double win. You guys are more than welcome to come if you want to meet up. The proposing thing will be secondary to off roading
