TRAIL RIDE IN VIRGINIA! SHOE CREEK 7-28-12!! LOOKING FOR A DECENT TURNOUT!

Its a spot called Shoe Creek. Some of you may have heard of it. Its about 2 hours up Route 29 once you get into VA. Its a green trail but there are some obstacles you can tackle. I've had some friends from the Blue room run it about 3 years ago and it was fun. Everyone normally goes to the top of the mountain in a couple hours, stops for lunch and will go back down again.

Anyone interested? The date will be 7-28-12

My old truck above!

i'm down as long as i'm in the area

Can you give me a town/city near the trails location?

GPS Coordinates
37' 47.263 N
079' 06.173 W

Hmm. How do we search on the coordinates? Tried plugging into Google Maps but it doesn't recognize.

Is this the trail in the GW National Park?

Id be down for it

I might be in for this. According to Google Earth it is right near if not in the GW National Forest

There is a Potts Mountain Jeep Trail run being worked on for possibly the first weekend in August. I am not sure the how this locations relates to the trail here.

If it can be July 28 and 29 I can and will be there. Any later and im out till end of september.

i'd be out then..... i have two open weeks in july 1-15 then im gone until 24 aug. then i have until 10 sep. so if we can fit it in one of those time periods that'd be awesome, if not have fun _

I found some rough directions on the blue room

Turn off of route 29 to hwy 151, in 3 miles turn left on Firehouse road,
7 miles left on Lowesville road, 2 miles bear left staying on
lowesville road, less then a mile turn right on woodson road, 3 miles
left on perkins mill road, 1 mile bear left staying on perkins mill
road, 2 miles bear right staying on perkins mill road, less then mile
arrive at trail entrance.
Thats the directions from my gps to get there although i think it
skipped a small dirt road that turns off of perkins mill road at the end
of that.

How does July 28th look for everyone?

That is five hours away for me. Depends on whats going on with soccer.

After talking with some locals, it looks like the date will be JULY 28TH!!!!

I think I wanna go just depends.

Yeah I'm out

Shoe Creek is a very moderate trail......the trail is a simple forest rd with difficult bypasses but be aware that the off trail stuff is trespassing and if a ranger see's you on it he will write you a ticket.

The camping is great and the trail is tame.

I posted this in the blue room as well to get some more interest

Looks like I found a local in VA with a 2011 NSSE trail team truck that may come out!

Got a local Rubicon to join, and they are bringing their friend with a modded black diamond FJ. Looks like this might be a nice turnout

Got 2 more FJ's and a Rubi to join!

Hey guys and gals, this is the Apple Market we will be meeting at. Please be there by 9 am as we would like to get out of there by just a few mins after. You are still welcome to meet us at the lower trailhead if you like. http://www.applemarkets.com/store_search/list_store.php?id=3206

just a little over a week left!

I'm a definite maybe. Gas money is the only real issue for me, but I've been told that if I want to go it'll be taken care of.
