Eastern VA Monthly Meetup

[Hafaday]

Checkin in.

There is a trail from Richmond to Williamsburg.


Although paved and littered with pedal power (bicycles)... pretty sure we would get yelled at and ticketed too. Haha.

On a serious note.. I do not know of anything between RVA and the coast.

I haven't started into any serious research, but I grabbed https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/58ac962be4b0ce4410e7d80c?f=__disk__69/b8/ed/69b8ed9a0c1fdca16ae4689263ce9a41b050a705 There's very little green space within the area in question. Local to me, the Dismal Swamp would be an idea place for some dispersed campsites, but other than some day use, it's not for visitors. I think that's ridiculous.

I'm going to keep looking. There has to be some public land even if it's a fire road to take instead of black top. Doe's OB have a listing for local clubs? I'll let you know if I find anything. :-}

Welcome to OB. I think they use to meet monthly but not so much since I joined. We need a meet up even if it's in a parking lot to meet others and share some info. I would like to find some trails from Richmond and eastward to the coast.

Would really like to get together even if it’s just a ‘Cars and Coffee’ type deal where we meet somewhere! Anyone else game for something like this in the near future?

I am very much up for something simple cars and coffee sounds like a good start.

 

[Greyhome]

I could potentially do something sooner, but maybe a Saturday or Sunday morning on the last weekend in June? 6/30 or 7/1?

Good eats, reasonable prices, big parking lot; I’m thinking Mission BBQ in Newport News. It’s about an hour from Va Beach and Richmond. Not sure where everyone is located

I am game, thinking 5 or 6

 

[Greyhome]

@Diesel_Dragon I'm not going to be able to make it this evening. We've got church till about 6 so the timeline doesn't quite pan out coming all the way from Richmond. Let's all link up soon!

 

[Diesel_Dragon]

Hello there everyone. Holidays are almost over, and I was wondering if people would like to have a meet up sometime mid January?

For those who are Hams or are interested in becoming one, Frost Fest is coming up the first weekend in February. I'll be heading down for the day myself. There are test sessions going on throughout the day and there will be good deals to be had on all sorts of mobile and HT radios.
