Just got back from another amazing trip to the North Maine Woods on the 17th. No serious damage to vehicle or driver.
Have headed over to the Monongahela National Forest the last couple of weekends. Now it is time to prepare for the annual trip to the North Maine Woods. Taking two whole weeks off this year. Leaving September 4th and should be back September 17th. Getting new tires put on the truck this week.
Have I really been a member for almost two years now? My usage seems to have slacked off after the initial enthusiasm. :(
Going to be heading out on Friday (hopefully) after work. I get off work fairly early so hope to make it to some place before dark. Not sure how much this trip will be a camping trip vs. an exploration trip. Three day holiday coming up in a couple of weeks. :)
Returned from the NMW Saturday afternoon. A good trip. :)
It is finally here! Time to head north to the North Maine Woods! I think I will be leaving after work on the 19th and will be returning to VA on the 28th.
It will be July this week. Time to start thinking about my next annual trip to the North Maine Woods. I am planning on departing August 20th from here in Virginia and returning August 28th.
Got rained out this weekend. Some areas here in VA got up to 5” of rain! Better luck next weekend I guess.
Had another good weekend camping but the huge pile of fresh bear shit in my location made for a rather sleepless Friday night. Slept better Saturday night. All a question of drinking enough before bed.
Had another great weekend exploring and camping in the national forest along the east side of Rt. 81 near Buena Vista area.
Spent the weekend exploring the Monongahela National Forest in WV. Great time. Found a lot of good places to camp. However, spent so much time driving around Saturday that I ran out of daylight and with sunset and rain having begun decided to just spend the night at the Hampton Inn in Elkins.
Spent Saturday putting some more miles on the truck. Explored around the Front Royal area and then headed back down to the Jefferson National Forest (Buchanan Exit on Rt 81) and explored that area. Just wondering why a large section of the Blue Ridge Parkway is still closed.
Was going to head out today to do an overnight camp but the wind was still blowing pretty good so will try again tomorrow.
Met up in Catlett, VA this morning with fellow OB member Ray. Great conversation! Thanks for showing up. Looking forward to other activities.
Doesn’t look like many people are planning to make it to Catlett, VA tomorrow morning for a couple of hours of coffee and conversation, but I will be there all the same.
Spent a little over twelve hours on the road today exploring. Left the house at 0500 and hit Bickle Knob and then Spruce Knob in West Virginia and finally Flag Pole Knob back (barely) in Virginia. At least I did not get stuck this time!
I did head over into West Virginia last week to do some exploring. Got stuck and spent well over an hour getting unstuck.
Still not much to report on the overlanding front. Maybe tomorrow I will get out and hit the road and just drive around some remote parts of Virginia. Maybe head to Front Royal area or even down towards Harrisonburg. If I am really feeling adventurous maybe head over into WVA.
Not much going on these days. ☹
