When: April 9th-11th
Where: George Washington National Forest: Peter’s Mill and Flagpole Knob, VA
What: A 3-day overlanding trip in partnership with Torro Off-Road. We will be exploring the off-road trails in George Washington National Forest, camping in tents, eating some good food and getting to know each other around the campfire. This is the first event of this kind that Prodigal Overland has offered and it is a bit of an experiment for us. So, we are looking for participants to come with an open mindset and a flexible attitude. Be the first to sign up and you get to stay in one of Torro Off-Road’s Roof Top Tents. But keep in mind, this is more of a ‘true camping’ adventure then a ‘glamping’ one.
