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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
