This trip started out as a post on my regular web homelanetisuzu.

We often do a winter camping and wheeling trip. This was to Hone Quarry Campground in George Washington National Forest in Va.
I invited a couple of semi local folks from here as well. One made it. 2 FWC'ers together on the east coast and it wasn't an Overland Event!
Most of this is a cut and past from my trip report over on the planet. Anyway a good start 3 nights in the Eagle already this year and it's January!
I have to Thank Mike1 again for getting us out in January! The weather really couldn't have been any better.
I went down Thursday and as usual drove through Harpers Ferry.
Potomac River.
Shenandoah River.
I arrived at Hone Quarry Campground before dark and set up my camper. I had my M416 trailer with me. This is the 1st time I've towed it with the camper. It is invisible behind me. No backing without a spotter. So to park it I dropped the trailer. Turned the truck around and hitched it to the new front hitch and simple drove it into the parking spot. Easy peasy.
Friday am I fished a bit in the creek behind camp.
I had the campground to myself till Mike1's buddy Mike2 arrived mid afternoon Friday. About an hour later JollyRoger from "Wander the West" arrived with his Four Wheel Camper.

We had conversed online earlier about GW. So I invited him and another fellow to join us. Only he was able to make it. He brought his well outfitted Hawk on a Ram Diesel. Nice rig.
2 Four Wheel Campers in the same place on the east coast probably qualifies as an event!
