Will do! Did you buy that warn that guy was selling from the GWNF trip? What tire carrier are you going with? Looking forward to seeing y'all there!

Jason and Mike - really excited to see you guys are coming! We should have an awesome time.

Jason - what’s your travel plan? Going to drive halfway and grab a hotel or something? VB is a bit of a haul.

I just ordered some CB parts so hopefully my setup is a better smoother all around. I’m super excited, Katie is too, although I don’t think she appreciate the videos of the red obstacles I showed her earlier today

Too bad it’ll be so cold, otherwise we could camp out and make a weekend of it.

Yeah man, I'm thinking either drive the entire way Friday or half if I can't get the day off.

There's a number of hotels right by where we're meeting in Haymarket or Manassas if that's the route you want to take. Glad you're gonna make it though!

You can count me in, I'm actually off that weekend. The drive back was a you know what from the last time we were there but it was worth it.

Where does this trip rank on the mild to wild scale?

From what I’ve read and understand (and someone will correct me if I’m wrong), it can be anywhere on the scale due to variety of trails at Rausch. Our group will probably be sticking to green and blue trails, which will be on couple steps above mild. But, there are bypasses on obstacles if you don’t want to wheel hard, or you can always link up with others who are trying to get a bit crazier.

Yes you are correct, we will be running greens which are able to be done in stock jeeps. When I ran there last time, the stock guys would scrape their skids and control arm/shock mounts but not damage them. They are bypasses for obstacles but the stock guys who did not bypass did fine.
