VBJO March Run
Crozet, VA - Mar 10-11, 2007
It's been a while since I got to go wheeling, so I really enjoyed this trip. Everyone was really laid back and we took it pretty easy. The weather was about 70-something degrees on Saturday and 60-something degrees on Sunday, so it was perfect for what we were doing. We stayed in cabins at the Misty Mountain campground, which was really nice. Running hot water is always good when it's cold at night!
I just have to mention that I started Saturday by hitting a tree first thing with my new bumper, scratching the paint right off. This is a big joke. Chele ALWAYS hits a tree. Well, I hit two. The second one was on Heckler Hill and I sustained very minor rear quarter panel damage getting up an obstacle.
Dave Phillips (CORE 4WD) was nice enough to lead us through blue/low black trails. For a lot of those with us, this was their first trip to Crozet. I had a lot of fun trying out new obstacles that I hadn't tried before. It's starting to get easier for me to drive now and I don't feel so out of control when the Jeep gets squirrelly.
Ironically my most expensive damage was sustained in Richmond on the way home. A boulder (well, large rock) flew up and hit my windshield and caused TWO breaks in the glass. Please take note; I JUST replaced the glass 300 miles ago because a rock hit my windshield, just outside Richmond, on the way home from a wheeling trip. Go figure.
