Greetings -
new Northern Virginian member to the site, also new to overlanding. I am planning a first trip along the Shaw-Douthat track y'all have posted on your website in a couple of weeks, barring any "don't do it" comments. The video was helpful, but I have questions about the parts unseen. The plan is to start on the north end and camp overnight at Douthat, before returning the same route.
A couple of questions --
Is this route appropriate for a Z71 Silverado?
Is this route safe-ish for a solo vehicle trip with minimal recovery gear (no winch, but jacks, cheap recovery boards, straps, etc.)?
Any concerns with mud/wet this time of year when we get rain every other day (or so)?

Thanks,
Gordon

I'm not familiar what their entire route though the area, but I live in Covington. Most of the area is stock friendly. If you have any questions hit me up! If I'm around, I might try to run out and meet up for a bit. Maybe do some riding if I've got my new t-case in by then.

Thanks. Stock friendly is good for right now.

Anyone interested in planning a meetup in Richmond?

Wife and I would be down. Might be able to convince some locals to caravan. Maybe an outdoor/picnic type meetup? Or do you know of a regularly scheduled C&C (they usually start early but there's always a chance...)?

Headed out, mid week, next week. Few days of relaxing and doing some hiking from camp. Probably no trail riding due to non 4x4's coming with.
 
House hunting on Sunday after the C&C at Dulles Landing on Sunday...anyone interested in meeting up for the C&C?
 
New member here, we definitely got rained out for the weekend but I'm interested in making a trip to one of the meetings in Virginia. I'll keep a eye out on here. Jim-- Tidewater.

A single ticket is only good for one person. I recently talked with Ranger Fury about it. You'll need a ticket for every person you plan to bring.
