I hate to disappoint - this will be a nice drive in the hills, but nothing about this trail requires 4wd... There are a number of narrow paths across the hills that would be fun if opened, but they all have locked gates that keep vehicles out.
Yeah, unfortunately any gravel you get in MD now would be rated a 1-2 at best...its hard to even find some nice rocks to get flexy on. DawgBox is getting anxious for sure. Makes you want to use a Prius or Subaru just to use my TrailCam and disconnect my sway bar!

Well, you can go through Gambril State Park as the gate is finally unlocked but it's still just a road. But I was climbing the walls waiting to leave for Colorado so I found the only rock around here to climb...not much but better than a kick in the you know what's.

Went over a nice log but forgot to slow down on the departure...thought my spare was going to reach out and smack me! Even though just a gravel road, was nice to get off the pavement and away from people!

Ha! Good one Josh! As soon as I saw the first pic, I thought... somebody needed an action shot! I seem to remember some fire roads up in that area, and while “unimproved“ they are still roads... Months from now I’ll see you near Boulder.

Whose Josh? :surprised:. Definitely...we're leaving in two weeks and I can't wait to get some Boulder dirt underneath DawgBox's shoes.

My mistake Ron, I mixed you up with someone else obviously. I don’t know when I’ll get out there again with the virus thing the way it is, and my granddaughter may not even be going either (the school May decide to do some online something or other, I sure don’t know.
if we don‘t talk again within two weeks, have a great trip.

LOL...no worries, I do that all the time (and my wife hates it when I forget her name :surprised:). Yes,all our university aged kids are going to have a rough time this next year and we'll have to be cognizant of their unique challenges. When things settle down and you get out to Boulder, don't hesitate to reach out!

We have Peters Mill and Flagpole out this way. Not too much directly off of Skyline Drive.
I'll check those out Jeff (I think I saw Peters Mill pretty close to the Skyline drive but I'll look closer). Any chance you could post Long/lat's? Thanks,
Tom

Seems this thread may be dead, but what the heck I'll post anyway. Just moved up here and living in Bethesda. My girl is stuck in a parking garage and hardly being driven at all since I walk or bike to work now. It would be nice to get her out and into her natural environment!

Have you found the Mid-Atlantic Gladiators, Maryland Jeep Club or Chesapeake Jeep Club on FB? A lot of events and meet-ups get posted on those groups

Also, for getting dirt under her tires, the nearest options to Google are the Frederick Watershed (forest road), Peter’s Mill Run, Flagpole Knob VA, Rausch Creek Off-road Park and AOAA off-road park
