AOAA opened in 2014.
A bit father than Tower City (or whatever name they are going by these days) and fees inline with the ANF and MRA, is about the same distance from Frederick County. 6500 vs 2500 acres of MRA.
I know I'll be trying them in the spring.
Far as GRSF, looks like they are tar and chipping some roads up there.
It could have been my imagination, but I don't think so...
Went to AOAA this past September. Pretty good. Not H&M good but definitely worth the trip.
They already have plans for expansion which will just about double their size.
I haven't hit a trail system in over two years now, just too much of a time investment, looking at 3 hours each way for anything decent. so, I went out and got a dual sport and have been hitting all the back, gravel and dirt roads in the area (Loudoun county for me). not as much fun as pure trails, especially with oncoming cars, but beats the heck out of just watching MX on TV.
AOAA is a little bit of a hike but I have to make some plans soon! I'm getting the fever. A little more green on the trees and I'm off. !
