It seems the Southwest and Northwest are having all the fun. Any owners in the are of DC/MD/NoVA want to try to get a 1 day drive together? |

How about a two day in Virginia, with an overnight/dinner at the Inn at Little Washington (one of the top 10 restaurants in America). It is in Washington, VA. I don't know where we could off-road near there though. |

There is a staging area with trails at lat=38.7886833333, lon=-78.52155
The name of the place is Peter's Mill/Tasker's Gap.
It is about 1 hour from the Inn at Little Washington. Looks like fairly easy trails. Anyone tried them? |

Count me in.
I've researched the GW Natl Forrest OHV trails before - but haven't found time to check them out.

Great. I just cross posted at clubgwagen to see if there are other takers.
Any late July/early August days work? |

How about Wednesday, June 30 for an off-road day? It is mid-week, but prior to July 4 weekend. Work should be slow for everyone. |

There may be another option....
This isn't G specific but there is an annual Mercedes-Benz gathering going on in Sterling VA on the 26th of March. I already contacted the organizer and he said that any Gwagen enthusiasts in the area would be more then welcome to attend (Just bring an empty stomach!  ) If anyone is interested i'll post the link. |

I forgot to mention that this meet is usually annual and this is the 3rd or 4th one. (On average 20 cars show up but the number increases every year)

Flanker 525, if you receive this in time - can you send the details about the event in Sterling, VA for today, March 2th? Thanks.
Tj4Tj4 - did you ever visit Virginia this month?
Either way - I'm up for an East Coast outing soon - anyone interested??

Sorry, I missed out on this. For anyone interested, the S.E. most county in Kentucky (just over the VA border) has 3,000+ elevation change at Black Mountain State Park, all levels of difficulty, assume there are camping facilities too. But haven't confirmed in a while. I'd be game any time, pm me, its maybe 3-4 hours from Cincy. |

A while back I had also tried to set up a SE Treffen to visit and tour the MB Assembly Plant in Vance, AL coupled with a visit to EuroTruck in the Atlanta area; but there was not enough interest to proceed. |

DUTCH - 8/9/2011 4:02 PM
A while back I had also tried to set up a SE Treffen to visit and tour the MB Assembly Plant in Vance, AL coupled with a visit to EuroTruck in the Atlanta area; but there was not enough interest to proceed.
I'd be down for a trip like that DUTCH, but I couldn't make it as far North as VA/DC for just 1-2 days. |
