Default Run through GWNF Saturday 7/23

Myself and Combsn6 are going to go up to Powell Mountain Trail in Edinburg, VA Saturday morning. I am just a new guy and this will be my first trail ride. I messaged him about guiding me through my first time (sounds a little gay... my bad) and he said we would meet up around 11 AM Saturday morning and ride around. This won't be anything too hard considering I am all stock expect my tires-- which are stock on the Sport and Unlimited, so I guess I am all stock.

Anyway, I am just sending this out to invite anyone else who just wants a casual trail ride and an excuse to ride their Jeep in what should be great weather.

PM me on where to meet and some more details. Thanks!

I have been out there 4 times in the past 2 months and no problems at all. its just a simple trail rides nothing hard at all (stock jeep will have no problem just a little bouncy if you dont' air down some) and im coming from northern VA area so if u want to meet me somewhere in this area and follow me down just let me know.

I had no idea there were jeep trails up that direction but I'm already working this weekend so it's a no-go for me
It just depends on the parts you are in . there are clearly marked OHV trails for both ATV and for OHV. You pay $5 for a day pass to ride on the OHV trails.
