I'm in Hampton, and everything is far away. Except Starr Motors. Check out Starr Motors meetup group.

Starr Motors has a real nice course! Have you stopped up at the Middle Peninsula Jeep Club meet and greet? if not you should check it out they do ride events, they meet at the Dunkin Doughnuts on Jefferson and Denghbie saturdays at 1030.

Google "Shoe Creek trail" for directions and some pictures & videos. It's located in Nelson County southwest of Charlottesville VA and close to Crabtree Falls. It's a stock-friendly trail with a few small water crossings.

I'm going to try and hit a meet up out in Newport news this Saturday if your interested.

Also, if your interested, we can meet up for a beer or something for some jeep talk.

I do know labor day weekend is locked in. The wife and I are planning for it and it's family oriented. Not sure what your schedule is like for the holiday.

Richneck Rd is very dangerous if you dont have a winch or a buddy!! specially if its wet!. And your really not supposed to be in there its a power line access road, they just back filled the holes at the entrance.

Hope to see you at Duncun Doughnuts!!
i will be riding in the jeep thats ticking!
