Closest I have found is GWNF (without body damage) and Shoe Creek. They are about 1.5 hours and 1 hour respectively away. Great place to do a day trip IMHO. Congrats on moving up to Richmond. Hope to see you this summer out on the trails!

I've seen a few videos of Shoe Creek. Looks fun but would you happen to have directions or a link to said directions? I'll want to test my lift out once I get it on. :pepper:

I dont have a link to the directions but here is the marker straight off my Google Earth. Here ya go: "Shoe Creek Trail" lat=37.7903080403, lon=-79.1199406492

I feel like GWNF is more worth the drive. Shoe Creek is one trail that can be completed in 3 hours or so. GWNF has oodles more trails to do. Im game to hit the trails.

I would need specifics of course, since if I remember right GWNF is huge and while I'm good at map reading, I'd get lost in mere seconds. :lol:

Also depends on when I get the lift on. In the process of buying now, but for a place to put it on, I'm still searching.

Also to the OP, no intent on hijacking the thread. :JEEPIN:
