hey guys i was thinking of planning a little meet this weekend. I know its a little difficult because its memorial day weekend and people might have other things or plans to do but if anyone is interested let me know. it would most likely be a small trip to get my feet wet and ready for the larger trip i am planning mid august. if anyone is interested let me know. i will post on here a map of the route i would like to take.

hey guys so i found a trail that my buddy told me about, its in waterford, ct im not sure if its private or state property, there is a pole up like it had a sign posting no trespassing but there is no sign. (not illegal if its not posted, at least til u get caught the first time.) so if anyone is interested to meet up this weekend hit me up, i dont want to go alone as i dont have the proper recovery equipment if anything were to go wrong, so let me know cuz i was thinking of going either friday or saturday.

i went down about a hundred yards yesterday and it seemed ok, my buddy at work said he used to take a stock explorer down it all the time, but some of the break offs look way to intense for something stock, but i could be wrong.

I can't meet up this weekend I have baby duty my wife is working all weekend now. I'm going back to school next week so it has forced us to make a bunch or changes and yesterday she took a bunch of day at the ambulance station. So I have been talking to nick (Jansey) and we are going to set up a day soon to get every one in or around new England to come up to the berkshires and wheel for the day. That way you guys can get set with ur mods and everything. The basicl trails are fun but I'd rather you guys be able to do the moderet trails too there are a couple really good trails up here. If something changes I'll let you know also I believe that other guy ( nek..) is going to be out of town.
