Re: ToySUV: EC4RJ suggestion: Move it to VA?

["C. Andrew Zook" <andyzook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would be nice to have someone that knows the area - when I was there a
few years back we did not find a whole lot of wheeling - and part of the
group was threatened by a hilljack with a shotgun!

Otherwise, I have no problem going there ;-)

I finally have a working 4WD! Let me know if you want me to come along down
to scout...... just as long as it is after snowboarding season ;-)
