About 90% sure I can make this.

Looking to do a trip to Second Mountain/Long Run Road this weekend. It has been closed for about two or three years, but is back open. It used to be a very stock-friendly trail (much like Peters Mill only longer), but having not been in several years, not sure what to expect. The trail is out near Flagpole (mountain next door). Let me know if anyone interested and we can set up some times and logistics.

Update: Okay, adding with some details and lets make it so. I have heard that maybe Second Mountain is paved now, so may be a short easy day. But I suspect Vepco Road and some of the offshoots (hopefully) are still good to go. This is a perfect sized group and looking forward to a great day.

Logistic Update:
What: Spend the day exploring Second Mountain Jeep Trail
When: 10:00 AM We will meet up and head over to Second Mountain Road
Where: 3634 N Valley Pike, Harrisonburg, VA 22802

There is a Pilot Travel Center (right before you get into Harrisonburg- address above). Lets meet here and we can fill up with gas and get a few snacks before heading out.

What a view! Wonder why it got closed down.
 
Looks like I am not going to make it. My carrier bearing for my Gladiator rear driveshaft is smoked, and I promised some people I would take them shooting at Peacemaker National... but I completely forgot about it until they called last night and asked what they should bring.

looks like i'm free on sunday and interested in going. I've never been on second mtn so it will be new to me.
 
I'm free Sunday and would like to join in with you all. I'm coming from Alexandria VA. Happy to linkup where it makes sense.
 
Awesome...I am stuck at my desk today, but will get some updates posted tonight or tomorrow, but we'll plan on it. I am not sure what to expect, but sure it will be a great time.
 
All,
I added logistic details to the original thread. If anyone wants to meet at Sheetz in Haymarket to caravan out, will plan to leave there around 8:00. My cell is 480-643-9606, feel free to shoot me a text or call.

@kerch -- you in?

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
 
I'm definitely in. I'm coming from Herndon, so @Nacho I'd love to meet at the Sheetz in Haymarket. Do you happen to know more details about the address or what exit of 66?
 
Had a great time. Easy trail but very scenic. Too bad Dominion tamed the trails but I understand why they had to.
 
Really appreciate everyone coming out and riding. It was a fun day and I really want to go back and do some more exploring of some of those other offshoots.

Maybe after a little bit of rain so it's not so dusty? Lol
