Crozet, VA 10th anniversary run chat thread

[Spas]

I just signed up

Just to give you guys a word of advice... Several of the guys in the Maryland Creepers club have ROLLED their junk at Crozet..

The on site camping is in a cowfield that really has walking beef in it (which is why I'm all for the cabins at the other campground, lol), they have a funny saying for people who bring stock trucks there:

"Stockers can go smash cow patties all day!"

Of course I have yet to see Crozet in person but after being regaled with tales of boulders the size of suburbans and how the 'easy' trails are the equivalent of a Paragon high blue, I can't freakin' WAIT to see this place!! I'm sure there will be easy trails for stockers cut by then if they haven't been already.

Btw, I'll have two or three seats open in my rig for anyone who just wants to ride along.

Thats why I am ditching my BL before I go and swaping the 2wd front with a superlift 4'' kit

Ben is trying to get me down there next year, If nothing stands in my way, I may just take a train down there to hook up with you guys and if so I'll just need someone to pick me up in Charlottesville and have someone to ride with. But since that is sometime off things can change, but I really want to do this, so think positive thoughts

There hasn't been a post here in a couple days...hope people aren't losing interest. Has anyone thought about camping/hotels, that kinda stuff?

 

[Blee1099]

I'm staying at Misty Mountain Campground.

 

[nissanboy]

IM planning first things first.... ill be back on the Crozet topic after the RATE and Attica runs

 

[jeepnchris]

There is free camping here. It is primitive though most do visitors do camp. You guys/gals are more than welcome as well.

I'm not sure yet where I will be staying, or if I'll just camp out there.

P.S. I FINALLY found a front f.w. hp d44 so I won't have any excuses for not getting it done in time. I'm picking it up on Monday!

 

[Josh Adams]

Did someone mention that they could possibly get us magazine coverage?

 

[tenikiwon]

I should be in

Probably going to take the zuk and hopefully can have it ready for Crozeet by then. Untill I get a job I can't say for sure.

 

[GJarrett]

That was gajeep if it was at Tellico; so I assume it won't happen now.

 

[Blee1099]

We should maybe make contact with some of the big magazine editors and let them know about the event.

 

[nissanboy]

They have spots to send in Club Runs to put on the calendars. Might get a mention in the foreward sections

Rules

I would assume Crozet has rules for vehicles. Anyone know 'em?

 

[unclemeat]

If there are rule jeepnchris is the owner and you can email or call him. I was seriously thinking about trying to go on the Oct. 15. I have heard that it is an open date.

 

[jeepnchris]

What do you mean by rules? If you are talking about the rides we prefer that you have lockers front and rear for blacks - full cage with frame tie-ins for reds and blues you can be stock. We have low, middle, and upper blues.

Stock rigs should start out on the low blues.
