Portsmouth here...

Sad to say that there isn't a whole lot of "public" land in our area to go out and play on.

Just about all of our old places around here now have houses on them or are posted.

So if you come up with anything, there's local folks that will come out with you.

Notta, none, neeel, unless ya find a private farm or something...Almost everyone does GWNF or Potts MTN in JNF. Uwharrie, Telico, Win-rock, Rausch Creek, Paragon, Crackerneck/Calatree. Oh yeh! the Moab... Sorry man, nothing out that way...(Richmond area)

welcome to the site!! yeah nothing here in hampton either :wtf

There's nothing public near Richmond I'm afraid. There are public trails in the George Washington National Forest near Harrisonburg. If you know where Reddish Knob is located, the trails are located on the road up to Flagpole Knob.

I've been on some of them, pretty good stuff but you should have your recovery gear with you. Xterra had an event up there in the fall of 2005.

Good luck

Welcome fellow richmonder
we need a little va m&g

Welcome fellow richmonder we just did Big levels a few weeks ago not to bad but its two hours away.
we need a little va m&g

:stupid

We've had some of the Hampton Roads folks get together on occasion, but yeah, I agree. Let's get a VA FSB M&G together. :thumbup

getting a m&g together would be good just need to pick a spot and a time, wish we had some local wheeling spots.

I'm game! I know some great camping spots near the trails....

I've been dying to go camping but had too much to do here. These trails don't compare to what the guys out west are running, but they're better than nothing!

at crabtree falls there are also a couple of campgrounds for those of us who like a few extra amenities at nite (heat or a/c, running water, toilet etc.) just let me know when and where

I'm up for a va fsb m&g too.Ironclad,so that area we all went to is posted know?

Start a thread on just the M & G, when, where, how..My and my guys from the mountains will try and make it or drive over to the mountains and we'll show ya some great wheelin. There's a campground, there just primitive. Has well, vaulted toilets, cold creek nearby, Oh did I mention an awsesome trail.. Carnage....Not really unless ya wheel stupid!!! I know!! go ahead take a stab at the last comment there.

Had a April 1st M&G, this year and had a blast...See ya

i grew up in midlothian and used to go to the power lines right on Powhatan border. not sure if still any good since 288 took over Watkins nursery. but was lots of good holes and some short steep hills. you can get to them off otterdale if still open. not real long trails but if start at end towards coalfield rd(was blocked when i used to go) then go to otterdale cross over and go to other section and can end up at 60.

I know the area Starcity but I belive that's been developed pretty heavily in the last few years.

I could do the mountain trip after the holidays. :drinkbud

a mountain trip would be good sometime in jan. or early feb. I'll put a m&g post out there and we'll see how much interest there is

i am not surprised with all the building going on everywhere their and here. well good luck finding places close

Hi folks!
Add me in when ya'll find places, I'm just getting back into wheeling after a very long absense and I'm looking forward to going!!!!!!!Is there a 4X4 club in the area? Heard there used to be 1 in the mechanicsville area. I'm over by RIC.
Maybe someone that belongs to a hunt club can hook us up as long as we tread lightly!!just a thought

check us out over here.
