Welcome to all since I last posted a welcome to all!

There is plenty of land in the northeast, most of it is private land that we work hard to gain access to, and try to work even harder to retain the access.  I too am on the North Shore and there is only one legal trail with in a 20 minute driving distance, but no one here has access since the leasing agreement is through another club and we simply have yet to bargin a whheling agreement with them yet.... YET

Most of the trails are about an hour and a half drive from the north shore. Some of the premeir trails are just over the line in NH and they are balls to the walls fun.  I would suggest to the newbies, get your applications in, we have a couple great trail rides coming up for newer members (slightly easier trails) that I am sure you would enjoy.

Lastly, that land/trail in Maine is not worth the 4.5 hour drive IMHO

We like to go a little slower through mud though, following tread lightly principals.  http://www.treadlightly.org/page.php/responsible-four/Recreation-Tips.html

As a noob, I should probably mind my P's & Q's until you get to know me, but having done my due diligence and read through some of the posts before I introduced myself, it seems this club is for no nonsense, tell it how it is kind of guys, so....with no offense intended or implied.....;

as a club officer, I completely understand your need for a posterior covering disclaimer on my photo...but nothing about it conflicts with Tread Lightly; I was on private land, with the owner of the land with me, on a dirt ROAD which the owner, who owns ORVs, maintains with his own Tractor equipped with a grader. I agree 100% with Tread lightly and believe the movement should be adhered to by anyone active on the trails in an ORV. But if we can't throw some mud, when the conditions ARE appropriate, then we might as well just pack our walking sticks into our Prius' when we want to get out into Nature.

welcome

lol

[Mitch]

Even Prius' are having a hard time "treading lightly" right now.

[grayghost]

I'm still waiting to hear back on my application, but I'm guessing there's no chance at the trail ride this w/e?

Our APP guy is in California now.  If you have submitted an app, PM me and I'll get you the details.

Hey everyone,

My name is Joe, from Newton, Mass., proud owner of an '09 Rubicon, new to off-roading, and looking forward to some adventures this summer together with my 16-year-old son Nick. I'm a big car buff and have always loved Jeeps. Long ago, my favorite high school teacher lent me his yellow CJ and I've been hooked ever since. It's never too late. Looking forward to meeting you all!
