Peter's Mills Run - Late December? Early January?

[NachoRuby]

Is anyone interested in doing Peter's Mill Run at the end of December or early January? We're looking to earn another badge for the JT, and get our first badge on the JKU. I've never been before. Looks like a fairly long, but relatively easy trail.

Throw out some dates I have been wanting to get this one. Hear it’s a nice drive and only 2.5hrs from me.

1/11 sounds nice, but I'm flexible. That should get us out of the holiday season.

I could probably be talked into this one. Hmm, does it close for the winter though? I know Bald Mountain does.

According to their website, the trail closes on January 3 and opens back up in April.

I'm going this Saturday 12/11 with NovaJeepers.

We will meet at 9 am at the Woodstock Liberty/7-11 (340 W Reservoir Road).

Weather looks like 60's and rain.

We will get our day passes/maps there and check in to the BOH app for the trail tag.

I could go Saturday/Sunday 12/18/19 also, that would be the last time I could go this season.

Basic information and a map are here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/gwj/recarea/?recid=73965, yellow trail 433 is Peters Mill. Some maps show it as Powell Mountain Road, same road.

onX trail information: https://webmap.onxmaps.com/offroad/map/query/38.83410,-78.48193,10.78/overview?mode=dirt

Just getting off work now. I think my December is all firmed up, other than this coming weekend. I might have to postpone this until April. @JoseQ_80, I might try to join you this weekend, if possible. If not, I might not be able to do this until April. bummer that the trail closes so soon. Will NovaJeepers have a problem with a Pa jeep joining in?

 

[JoseQ_80]

This Saturday? No, I'm leading the ride so you are welcome to join us. Right now I think it will be 4-5, so a small group. Last month we had 9.

 

[Kindafearless]

Have fun y'all <3

 

[JoseQ_80]

You too.

Sorry I missed it today, but I have a question for Peter's Mill veterans: Is it better to start on the north end of the trail and go south, or the south end and go north?
