One of Northern VA Jeepers Associations long standing traditional rides is the early summer “New to Jeeping” trip up to Flagpole. Since this is a new to Jeeping run, we will do an extended safety brief before we start and go over some basic off-roading 101 points. This ride will be a little slower than normal and will have folks available to answer questions and help those who are new to all this. All are welcome, but be prepared for a 101 type day.
Logistics:
Location: We will meet at Mountain View Elementary School parking lot
2800 Rawley Pike, Harrisonburg, VA 22801
Date: Saturday April 5th 2025
Time: 8:30 AM, this will be an all-day ride
We will do a safety brief at 8:45 and depart at 9:00
Trail comms: GMRS (Ch 4/5)
Level: Green
The Trail:
Flagpole is a great stock-friendly trail with a little bit of everything. You can expect a little stream crossing, some very scenic forest trails, mud flats, stair steps, and rock climbs. We will stop in a big meadow where we will eat lunch and enjoy some of the best views around.
Mandatory Requirements for this ride are:
Jeep with functioning 4wd
Spare tire (and tools to change)
Food & drinks (yes, I always consider snacks mandatory and we will do a group lunch at the meadow)
Recovery points (front & rear)
Full tank of gas
Follow Tread Lightly principles (including pack in-pack out)
Recommended:
Fire extinguisher & first aid kit
Radio (if you dont have any - we often will have extra handhelds to lend)
Recovery gear & tools (if this is your very first run - don't worry we will have extra)
Camera- You never know what you will see up there. Bear, snakes, deer, fox, quail, streakers, etc.
Chair- To eat lunch, relax, and enjoy some scenery at the meadow
Jacket/Sweatshirt- it can get chilly on top of the mountain
