Is anybody interested in getting together for the weekend of June 20th to run Shoe Creek and or Big Levels. We could make it a whole weekend thing or just the day. Rolling Eyes

I can do that, either or be good.

Is this still on? Never been there and am interested in a day trip somewhere.

Yep, I can still do the weekend of the 20th. What day works for everybody and which run would you guys like to do?
If we do Shoe creek I can show those who haven't done slick rock this "on the trail" obstacle. It is off the path a little but still on the trail from everybody I have talked to. Laughing

Mike,
I am in . . . almost 100% Why not the Creek one day and Levels the next (is the middle open)?

I'm still in if it's the 20th, and splitting it up sounds good to me.

If you guys want to do Shoe creek on Saturday and Big Levels on Sunday that is cool with me. On Saturday we could do a cook out at the top if everybody wants to. How does everybody want to meet? We could meet at the trail base or at the old school on 56. Does everybody know how to get to the trail?
Big Levels does take a bit of time to manage the whole trail, 4 hours ish I think. I will check to see if the center section is open? Very Happy

Anybody care if one of my buddies tags along with his j@@p. I'll make him wear his LR hat. Very Happy

Sounds great to me. Tell him he will just get the itch for a Rover being around so many. Shocked

He's been out with a bunch of rovers before... he calls himself the red-headed step child. I tell him that so long as he's got his LR hat on, he's safe.. Very Happy

where on a map are Shoe Creek/ Big Levels?

Never gone to either one. Just curios.

Shoe Creek is in Nelson county off of Rt 56 near "Crab Tree Falls". If you search for Crab Tree Falls you will get really close. Big Levels is in between the parkway and Sherando Lake and the Coal Road in Augusta county.
Everybody could meet at the old school, Massey Mills, on 56 before you get to the trail. We have had this location as the meeting place before.

Sample Directions:

From Richmond:
64 towed Charlottesville
29 south (To Lynchburg)
Go past the stop light in Lovingston (Gas station and McD's) Good stopping point
Past high school and Elementary
Right turn on Rt56
Right turn on Old Roseland Road (2ed right I think)
Left at stop sign onto Rt151
Right (Just over the bridge) onto Rt56
School will be on your left a few miles down the road

From DC area:
29 south and then follow the above

Staunton:
you guys know how to get there

Lynchburg:
29 north
Left onto Rt 151 (past Amherst)
left onto Rt. 56
left into schools parking lot
