Venture Unknown presents......
Our 2nd annual Potts Mountain Charity Ride to benefit Venture Unknown Foundation

In 3 days, 28 rigs will descend on Virginia from across the East Coast. Folks are traveling from as far north as Massachusetts and as far south as Florida, all converging on one beautiful creekside camp.

Then the adventure begins.

4 days. 350 miles. No interstates.

Just backroads, mountain passes, creek crossings, ridgelines, remote camps, and the George Washington & Jefferson National Forests stretched out in front of us.

And yes...

POTTS MOUNTAIN JEEP TRAIL is on the menu. (Optional copilot seats avail)

28 rigs. Three teams. No team larger than 10.

Small on the trail.
Big around the campfire.

Each night, the stories from the day get better. Then morning comes...

Engines fire.
Radios crackle to life.
“Wheels up.”

And just like that, the conversation moves right back onto the trail.

Mix in a little Virginia history, some geology, incredible scenery, damn good captains, and friendships forged somewhere between the mountains, the radio chatter, and the campfire...

This is why we do it.

And here's the kicker. We still have 2 spots available. And this will be my last time trying to fill them.

If you've been wanting to make this trip but could use a little help getting there, some incredibly generous folks in this community have stepped up and donated to help make that possible. I'll remind everyone.... This adventure is equal familiar folks to 100% strangers. Don't be intimidated. We got you!

Don't let money be the only thing keeping you from the trail. Reach out.

Virginia, we're coming.

GET LOST ON PURPOSE.

Rabid Raccoon (Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway) registration opens to the general public July 19th @ 730pm.

Venture Unknown invites you to join us for Rabid Raccoon 2026, an unforgettable four-day overland adventure deep in the Kentucky backcountry. This route will weave through portions of the Kentucky Adventure Tour, the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway, and a few surprises along the way.
Expect rugged trails, beautiful scenery, rich local history, and plenty of campfire camaraderie as we explore, learn, and make memories together. This adventure is also a great opportunity to build confidence with dispersed overland-style camping, off-road safety, navigation, and team communication on the trail.
If you’re ready for backwoods adventure, muddy miles, and a solid convoy of good people, come ride with us.

Dates Sept 10 - Sept 14

Register on the VU website July 19 @ 730pm eastern

Just a heads up....
VU is working on bringing back an ol favorite of ours .....The Georgia Traverse!

In 2022 VU hosted our first run of the GT and it to this day went down as one of the most epic trips! Not because of any real offroading but because of the PEOPLE! We discovered that if you throw some random like minded folks around a campfire and give them a GMRS radio .....magic happens!

We are currently laying out the plans and have potential dates ... July 23 (Rally Day) - 27th (Departure day). This will be done in the spirit of the good ol ways of doing things. This is not a fundraiser, it cost nothing (other than maybe hip camp fees) , and will simply be a FB event open to all. Although there will be a special Venture Unknown Patreons only ride that will run the Reverse Traverse July 28-Aug 1. (details for this will be shared on that FB page)

I'm excited for this to be my first trip back in the saddle with the VU fam!

If you are new here...... Do not let the anxiety of group a ride steer you away. I can assure you we take EVERYONE into great care to make sure they feel welcome. Take the leap of faith! You won't regret it.

*This will have to be limited with a max rig count of course.

*It will most likely be a first come type sign up.

*I will release when that registration opens very soon and way ahead of the adventure.
