Taskers Gap Trip Report (5/4/08)

Location: Tasker’s Gap, George Washington National Forest, VA
So delusion39 and myself headed down to the Peter’s Mill / Tasker’s Gap OHV area this last Sunday. After getting run off the road in the tow vehicle by a double laneing asshole we parked a few miles out near a cool trout stream unloaded and rode to the Front Royal Country Store.
Which had a nifty scale:
Unfortunately they where out of OHV permits so we rode on down to Edinburgh Gap Rd road up and over the mountain range to the Hess station. On the way back up to the Taskers Gap OHV parking lot. Delusion39 hit a good bit of oil going around a switchback and the bike took a nap on us:
Knobbies leave funny skid marks:
He was fine though just a few holes on the gear:
The corner:
However somehow the bikes starter switch broke in the fall which required a quick electrical repair:
The culprit:
The elite toggle switch starter:
We got to the trail head and took the Peter Mill trail. It was a pretty cool trail which I didn’t really get any pictures of because I was to busy riding. It was similar to the top section of greenridge orv trail which I’m sure many of you are familiar with. Just with more rocks and less elevation change it was fairly dry and dusty which just a few deep puddles.
We got to the end of the trail on the other side and delusion39 started playing around more while doing some donuts his bike took another nap:
He headed back down the trail (it’s a out and back type thing) and stopped at a deep spring fed hole to take some pictures here’s delusion39 going splashing through:
And me:
I put the camera away for a while again and we headed into Taskers after staying on one of the trails there which was some fairly fun rockey single track we bailed out to a forest service road and set the GPS back to the car.
And on the way there found some cows that’d looked delicious:
All loaded up and ready to go:
It was a good day over all defiantly want to go back once my broken wrist is healed when the rocks might be a little easier to handle.
Chris
And a parting thought:
