We met just off 81, going west on rt 33. You can't miss the Sheetz. From sheetz to the campground is about 30 minutes or so. The campground is just past the trail by about 15 minutes. So it took us about 30 minutes to get back to the trail after dropping off camping gear. If you look on mapquest,, do a search for Brandywine WV. You will see that rt 33 runs into WV, and just past the state line is the town of Brandywine. Just before(about 2 miles) the town you'll see a huge GWNF Campground sign. Can't miss it. It's an homor system,, so you put $13 in an envelope and drop it in a slot,, then go pick out a camp spot. There are no reservation, so you'll just have to take a chance. It's a great campgroup. If it does happen to be full up,, there is a group camp area there somewhere that we could stay. The web site for GWNF is:
http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/gwj/
The web site isn't too helpful with info on Brandywine Campground, but believe me,, it's one of the nicest campgrounds I've stayed at. There are showers but they didn't have lights,, so if you're gonna shower at night,, bring a flashlight, lol. There are gravel pads and fire rings and the camp spots are not too close. A gurgling brook runs along both sides of the campground so you hear that all night long. At night you can't see a light in any direction. And it's very very quiet. At least it was after I crawled into my sleeping bag
.
The Sheetz to meet at is:
A. Sheetz Inc
(540) 433-6200 798 E Market St
Harrisonburg, VA
0.8 mi E - Directions
Don't let the Market street address fool you. It's on rt 33. But in the city of Harrisonburg,, it's called Market street. It doesn't show up too well on the strret maps of mapquest. But you can't miss it when you get off 81, onto 33 west. You'll see it within a couple minutes.
Chris:
I'm leaning toward driving down Friday evening. I plan on taking off a half day. Meeting at 9 am at Sheetz means I'd have to get up at like 4am or something. If I camp, I can meet you guys at the little lake cause I'll be arriving there from the campground which is pretty close.
Blue KJ in PA:
If you come out wheeling with us,, we promise not to keep you out for 4 days,, you'll be back long before the 26th,, lol.
Jeepgirl:
If Blue KJ in PA can come wheeling 4 days before his wife gives birth,, you can come wheeling the day before getting married,, I mean,, don't ya want to get a little bit of mud on that gown??
I mean jeep?? lol.
So what's for lunch??
get muddy

We might also be camping sat if we are planning to do a 2 day run. I know that has not been discussed as of yet but someone was going to bring it up.
My wife don't like me Jeepin' but I go anyway, so don't let your husband stop you! Drag him along, we'll get him in the mood!
