I just moved down to VA just a few months ago and I am looking for a place to watch and/or take part in the fun. To be more specific looking for mud bogs, tuff trucks, tractor pulls, a motorsports park. I live on the south side of Richmond. Something close within 2 hours would be nice. Also any place close to get a little off Camber?? Anything like rausch would be nice.
Other than that there are fire roads in GWNF (George Washington National Forest) in Harrisonburg that have two rock obstacles that all stocker Jeeps can get through (all other "obstacles" are OFF limits) and a few creek crossings (if it has been raining). A few of us go down there from time-to-time just to get off pavement and the views from the top of the mountain are fantastic on a clear day.
I hope this helps.

Anybody live up by Fairfax or Falls Creek, VA? I may be out that way for a transfer for a few weeks. What's the wheelin' like? Is it worth moving that way? I can't move somewhere that I can't play with my Jeep!!

Managed to finish the 10K obstacle course today. Traing was fun in Kentucky. It was a long week of class and partying. I'd like to do a few things to the Jeep before the Oak Ridge Run too. I want to trim the pinch seams, extend the breather tubes, and move the evap canister. We will have to arrange a convoy up there. What day are you rolling out? We both took Friday off so we could leave early. Is anyone else going?
