It was a nice trip out to Beckler. The weather did cooperate fairly well though it got pretty cold at night, but I was more comfortable than usual as on this trip as I threw a cot in the jeep and got to sleep up off the ground. Not exactly “roughing it ” but oh [...]

Well, the weather was certainly cooperating this weekend, doubly so since I look outside right now and it’s raining. JG and I headed up to Beckler. One of the things I wanted to do is see if I could get into this other set of roads that looks like it’s west on the other side [...]

We ran Old Florida Road again this weekend with a great group of folks from New York. Despite it having rained more or less for two weeks, the trail conditions weren’t much worse than the first time around. Jordan’s jeep did well on the swampers, and it wasn’t nearly the winchfest that it was last [...]

We headed up with Jordan & Hilary this weekend to a sort-of off-road park in Maine. What’s happened is some guy with 400 acres has basically opened up his land for any reasonable sort of off-roading and tenting use. A real gem, because in New England public land access is basically a non-existant. The only [...]
