Nice pics, as always. Hopefully next time you are up this way I'll get a chance to hook up. I skipped the PM run this time because...well...I've been to PM a gajillion times over the years. But there are some awesome trials and some places you can scramble up boulders (on foot) on some of the nearby mountains. Next time you getup this way maybe we can do a little Valley trip and hit some other nearby wheeling.

Snoopy must have the most "well traveled" Xterra out there. (California Deserts, Florida Swamps, and now Virginia Mud)
But Carlton and Packrat give him some competition.

Moby....how did you get those pics...WITH NO TRAFFIC??? I gave up on visiting skyline drive in Fall years ago because it is just one big parking lot now. Instead I have to hike all the way down to H-burg to Reddish Knob and take that forest road along that ridge to enjoy any scenery (and there's still a lot of 4x4 traffic).

My family goes every late October or early November and there is hardly anyone on the road. We have never encountered any traffic on Blue Ridge or Skyline.

This was on a Saturday, too. More pics from that trip (though no traffic would be in these): Skyline Drive

Wait, when did Snoopy get out thisaway? Actually rings a vague bell now that I think about it. Gotta hook up with ya sometime. Been a while since we've been down around Harrisonburg, that would be about the same trek from Norfolk and DC.
Must hit the State Line trail this summer too.

Thanks for the comments. As far as being here, it should be about a year until I'm complete with my radar training for the E-2C Hawkeye . My training hadn't started thus all the free time to go out and explore. Hopefully, I can spring for the Rausch Creek trip but some things have to happen to the X first. The VA inspection requirement came up with a list of things that need fixed before the 6.5 hour drive north: - two studs on rear wheel about to break
- steering centerlink required replacement
- exhaust manifold leak (can wait)
I'm ordering the CALMINI steering upgrade and am hoping to get it installed before then.
