So my buddy is an airplane mechanic, and his kids want a place to camp. So since they can't have their own overland vehicle, we put a plane in a tree. View attachment 126116

We used my truck to tow it, my new 4.56 gears made the trailer a breeze.

We're gonna build a deck under it and a ladder to go up from the bottom, coolest tree house ever
Well now you do not just see that everyday

Busy weekend. Worked in the truck a bit and installed a roof rack and snorkel. View attachment 126421View attachment 126422View attachment 126423
it wasn’t putting an airplane in a tree, super cool btw, but a fun weekend
Really like the snorkel and rack, definitely look good and thats gonna give you some great cool air to your engine. I don't really have an option for snorkels, so I've just got my cold air intake box semi sealed up and a tube up to the wiper cowl. If water gets over that, my trucks so heavy I'm fucked anyways lol

So I haven’t been on in a couple of weeks, but I’m interested in a meet up to get to know some people. I haven’t actually seen anything planned, so I’m going to put my own place out there as a meet and greet. I have lots of parking in a unique part of Lorton, VA. Big fire pit and lots of seating. I’d make it byob but could definitely fire up the grill for some eats. I’m going to post it on the meet up, but if anyone is interested, let me know. Thinking this Saturday.

Hello all, new member and first post. I am in VA and have been to Flagpole Knob a few times and also run Bald Mountain/Big Levels a few times in our Jeep. Both are fun trails and can be somewhat technical depending on your vehicle capability. I would be interested in a meetup if there are any in the future.

Welcome, glad to have you and a meet up is long over due. I'm bad at planning stuff though

I created a Rally Point with the info on the meet up (NOVA Meet and Greet in the US East region). This is all pretty new to me, so stepping outside the comfort zone a little...not with wheeling, but definitely new to Overlanding and playing party planner haha.

Dang! Wish it was earlier in the day ... I've already got plans Saturday night. :(

If anything changes up, I'll try and swing by.

I found the posting. I am trying to clear some things off and see if i can make it. I'm about an hour and a half away so lease keep us posted as to if there is enough participation and you will deffinately have it or not. Or if you are having it regardless. If we attend is there anything we could bring?

I will definitely update no later than Friday. I haven’t even looked at the weather for Saturday haha, but wanted to step off the ledge so to speak to see if I could meet some people off this site. So far I don’t thinj I have anyone 100% committed. The Rally Point feature allows you to send up to 100 invitations to members within a set radius so I tried that. We’ll see what happens. I appreciate the comments here in the thread and I’m sure if it doesn’t work this weekend, I will try again another weekend.

You at least have the pull of beautiful scenery to draw people out your way!

Ok, so weather at least looks dry for Saturday. I actually don't think the invitations that were generated went to anyone active in this thread but I think you all were able to find the Rally Point event for the details. It is showing as PDT 1600-1900 (GMT -5:00), but for anyone that may be confused by that, 4pm-7pm local time (EST). I personally don't drink coffee or alcohol and is why I set up as byob so you don't have a guy like me making your coffee or picking out your suds haha, but I will have water and sodas on hand and if people are hungry we can certainly grill some burgers and dogs or what better, put some dogs on sticks and cook in the fire. After the post above by Init6, definitely looks like there are some cool trips to do in VA, so looking forward to meeting some folks to link up with from time to time. I'm also a member of the Coast Guard Jeep Club and going to push the invite to those I work with that may be interested and are in the DMV area.

I got an invite. Just can't make it as we're heading out towards Front Royal for some wine tasting for fiance's birthday.

Welcome from Woodbridge!
