We're headed out this Wednesday to ride Peter's Mill Run near Woodstock, VA. Meeting at 1:30pm June 10th 2020 probably at the 7-11 (subject to change) linked in the "permit" section of this page: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/gwj/recarea/?recid=73883

If you can make it out, please do!

Weather looks good! I've read online that they combed over the trail pretty significantly during the closure, so it's even more stock-friendly. People have said to still air down for the rocks towards the end. We'll aim to meet at 7-11 Inc. Store 28429, 340 W Reservoir Rd, Woodstock, VA 22664. If you're coming, please PM me and I'll give you my cell number, though I'm not sure if I'll have coverage in that area. I should while near Woodstock, but once we head up in elevation I may be unreachable.

I'll have a GMRS radio, and have a couple handhelds I can bring as well if people need them, but as I have a couple at-risk family members, I'm maintaining social distance protocols. (I can keep a "dirty" bag and sanitize when I get home.)

I have some basic recovery gear, though it shouldn't be needed. I also have an air pump that runs off the truck's battery, and I don't mind loaning it with a cool-down period between vehicles. I'm also bringing a Mavic Mini drone and GWNF allows drone usage, though there may be limited spots where we could stop and actually get footage since I can't fly and drive at the same time.

Had a great time today! The trail was not at all what I expected — good challenge for me as a beginner offroading in rocky terrain. Also great to meet somebody from the forum for the first time (C3NK0) and his buddy that brought along a Jeep for us to chase.

We had a drone, GoPro, camera, and a bunch of cell phones and all got some random footage. We even got to experience a bit of nature with a rattlesnake crossing the trail.

Already looking forward to going back out again.
