Peters Mill Run - Jeep Badge of Honor Trail - April 2022

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ค. 2022
- Met up with Jon from @DirtRoadTherapy in VA for some camping and trails. After a long road trip to VA, I set up camp and waited (and waited) for Jon. He eventually made it, but not without some XJ trouble. We hit Peters Mill Run the next day with Rick @jeepdoctv and Mark @MalarkeyTaylor so I could grab another badge.
Peters Mill Run is an easy trail with a decent amount of ATV & OHV traffic on it. It costs $5 for a day pass that you can pick up at most gas stations in the area. We ran it from the North end (dirt single track) to South end (rocky hills).

Loved the video. Plan on hitting that trail real soon.
Thanks for the video. I am planning on going this upcoming Saturday and have fun.
Have fun!
A pleasure meeting you! Glad I could be part of the fun! Hopefully we can wheel again another time.
Heck yea! Looking forward to it 🤘
Dude, that looks like a fun little ride! So glad you made this video I will definitely be checking out that trail in my xterra.
Awesome! 🤙
I passed you guys on the trail this day I have the little dark blue rav4 it was a pleasure to see you guys and the weather couldn’t have been any better. Cheers
That’s awesome! Glad you found me 🤘
I did a video also and you guys can be seen in the end of it 🤘
Easy, fun trail. I agree could definitely use more pull off spots, or maybe designate one way direction/traffic on certain days.
Awesome video! Was nice meeting you guys!!
Yeah man! Say hi to Terrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy for me! 🤣
I did the trail in a stock Hyundai Santa Cruz. Completed it, but not without a cost.
Man you've been on more trips than I have. Keep at it Tim!
Yeah but you’re about to hit that big one soon!
Haha more event expos than actual trails though LOL
awesome dude! that was a great video and a super fun time. Sorry the Spool Bus had to bail and we left you hanging on Friday night campfire time. We were on track to be there just after dark but the Spoolie had other plans :-(
It’s only better because of the extra camera man who didn’t have his XJ. Thanks for the shots 😉
First time visiting your channel. Great video! Subscribed so I will be back!
Thanks for watching 🤘
Man I wanted to stop by there on my way back to PA from Tennessee to do exactly what you did but I was by myself and didn’t think it would’ve been a good idea. I should’ve just did it.
Yeah I’d do this solo. It’s no big deal and also has a lot of traffic for help if needed
I'd love to do a trail run with you guys some time!
Trail looks fun and fairly easy! Looking to take my stock 4x4 liberty out there sometime!
You’ll love it 🙌
Just got a gx460 needs to get a little dirty.
Looks like it would be a lot more fun and challenging after heavy rain
I bet it would be slightly. It’s a real easy trail, but spraying some mud would def make it better 👌
I’m about to take my Forester Wilderness out there and conquer it haha. Looks fairly easy
That’ll be a blast!
Did you do it already? A friend with an Outback Wilderness wants to try it
So, ok for stock? Wrangler 4xe. I did Flagpole at Dayton, VA stock. In the pouring rain.
Easy peasy! 👌
Holy traffic jams!
Yeah with it being an easy trail, part of the ATV network, and a nice Saturday it def has some traffic. Everyone was good about giving space tho.
It's a very easy trail but still fun, better than pavement.
Absolutely!
Great video. Question can a power wagon complete the trail with out destroying the paint or body panels
Thanks. I don’t remember there being any tight sections, but would suggest doing some searches for full size videos or blog posts.
My cousin and i stayed in spot 3 last year when we did the trail. It is 100% better going from south to north tho ,, way better
Yeah I could see climbing the first mountain being more fun than descending for sure. That campground up top is just so convenient though. 😅
Great video. Always wanted to go 4wheeling, so I bought a 2011 4runner SR5. It has all terrain tires, but they are standard load tires. Will I be ok on this trail as a newbie with the standar load/p rated tires?
I'm sure you could. This is a beginner trail. We saw a handful of stock 4Runners on the trail while we were out.
@@DarksideOffRoad I'm taking your word for it, going this Sunday. I showed my wife your comment... totally your fault if the tires fail.
@@billcanter4288 love it 😜
How is this a badge of honor trail. I did it in a stock tj
When we're you there? I ran it Sunday. I will be at Rausch end of May
We ran it Saturday morning on the 23rd before heading to WV.
Nice video, hey did you air down the tires? disconnected the sway bar? and go in 4H? I am taking my 2023 rubicon with XR on this trail. MY first jeep so wanted some advice
Yeah air down, 4H, disconnect. Mostly for comfort. Nothing tough on the trail.
@@DarksideOffRoad thanks man, and what PSI?
@@VenturesofMJ I did 18
Is this a trail system Stock 4xe can handle?
Absolutely.
@@DarksideOffRoad excellent. How can i get in touch with you to discuss further?
Heading there soon, did you air down and disconnect sway bar? Was there any mobile service during the trail? Great vid thanks
Yeah just for comfort and control. It’s an easy trail so it’s not necessary but makes the ride better.
I've been thrashing TJ's for almost 20yrs now and I've never heard of this "badge of honor trail" stuff before. How long has this been a thing? Was it invented by Fiat to sell JKs and JLs to weekend warriors or does Jeep send you an actual badge of honor? I'd like to know more because I'm dumb and I'm sure I'm owed a few participation awards. Love your channel BTW, currently binging all your vids. As an east coaster myself you have documented a sweet selection of what our area has to offer and to that I genuinely say thank you. PS it doesn't look good when you complain about burnt aluminum and fused sand in a fire pit when you intentionally make all the trail ruts deeper like a lil kid stomping through a muddy puddle. Don't forget to tread lightly🤷
Not sure how long badges have been around, but they certainly add a communal aspect to the “hobby” and provide some really great destinations 👌
Good effort. Not gonna make epic content at Peter’s. My dads driveway is harder than that run. Subaru wagons get down that trail.
Yep definitely as green as it gets. Great for beginners and a quick stop.
I should get a badge of honor for watching this terrible video
Congrats! Thanks for watching 😘
😂
