i'm down

if you sign up I will too. FYI most people say that wheeling at RC is light years better than Crozet. Its popularity is built on the fact that from the Crozet area the next off road area is 4+ hours in any direction. Its a 1 1/2 hour ride for me to get there and its southwest of where I live so its 2 1/2 hours for you Bill and Nick can do the math to get down there. Like I said if there is enough interest I will go and the long distance guys are welcome to drive down to my place and crash to kill some of the travel time.

Oh and they do stick to everything that they say in the thread Bill posted.

- A few screws loose in your head
lol - that's us.

Sounds like fun. Guess I'll have to get motivated to get the Jeep fixed.
