The trails are excellent condition and any one can go.the trails have everything from swamp to mud to wooded trails to sand dunes and a few steep climbs all the crazy shit has trails to go around so any one reall can go.

Went and laid some tracks last night 'round midnight. The main routes were twice as narrow and three times as short! Lot's of snow & water, all the waterholes are really flooded! Had fun for about 2 hours. :thumb:
Slow night though, only passed 2 pickups and caught a glimpse of a Cherokee, but he disappeared up a trail somewhere.

Yeah, but the temp on those days was hovering around 33. I'll bet with the cold were having now they are freezing up pretty well. Most of those waterholes were 20"+ deep and a few areas were well over my 33's. Be careful crossing those when frozen, if you break thru it's gonna be a bit*h to get out!
Wish I had my tires I would of joined you :( locks like fun.

Well it happened engine light came on with less than 15 k on my 2012 wrangler, I took it to the dealership and they told me the news I did not want to hear, cylinder heads....and they order them and there is a big back log thru Jeep. 3-5 days min for the heads and 2-3 days in the shop.. wow the new motor for Jeep, heads made in China? not good for Jeep

No testing required in China!!!:rofl:
Back in the late 80's 0r early 90's the Dodge Caravan had a major recall on aluminum heads, then again on transmissions. Parts were back-logged sometimes up to 6 to 8 weeks, plus repair time! You think they would have learned their lesson!:nonono:

Last summer we had a grp of guys that were getting together every Saturday to ride out. Hopefully it will happen again this summer.

Just an FYI.

Rich posted this yesterday in another thread:

EPO stopped us from driving on north Rd .(near Coy hill) said we were OHV's and if we stift into 4WD we will need a helmet. gave me the OHV handbook ,bunch of crap, but we turned around and went elsewhere.
Note: said he did not care about OHV sticker. I did not have one anyways.
But that's part of that new OHV law. Why do I need a helmet I said when I'm in a closed top Jeep? That's the law.:facepalm:$250 fine if you don't have a helmet.Why wouldnt he just let us go and then bust us?

I added some links for more info on the subject. You should all review it and be aware.

Hey Rich,

Here is a link to Chapter 202 Acts of 2010
http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2010/Chapter202

that made all the changes to
C/90B http://www.malegislature.gov/laws/generallaws/parti/titlexiv/chapter90b

and 323/CMR/3.0
http://www.mass.gov/eea/grants-and-tech-assistance/enforcement/environmental-police/boat-and-recreation-vehicle-safety-bureau/323cmr30.pdf

that's mentioned in that brochure. It's actually not a new law; it went into effect Oct 2011. I guess it's taken a year for them to fatten up their coffers to start spending money out of it.

If you read the first section of C202/Acts of 2010 and you'll see that all money collected from associated fines/fees/forfiture associated with all RV's in the state of MA now goes directly into a fund to be used "mainly" for EPO enforcement of the new R&R's. Basically they have written themselves a law that gives them an unlimited supply of overtime money. There's also a clause in there that is "supposed" to divert money from this fund for the purpose of land acquisition for new trails and trail maintenance, but I guarantee you will NEVER see money spent on that. (Future lawsuit! I hope so!)

I also love the fact that now they want OHV/RV's (legally registered and insured for use on a public way) to ADDITIONALLY register as an OHV/RV whenever it's used off-road. Another $40 every 2 years on top of your regular registration fees!
I HATE THIS F**KING STATE

Hey everybody, I'm from Westford.. my friends and I have been looking for some spots in the area for some time, and it seems like nobody wants to share without joining a club which isn't really something that I'm looking to do/can do.. I have done some research on the Freetown State Forest and it seems like cars/trucks aren't allowed, can anyone confirm or deny this? Also if anyone knows of any other spots within an hour that they would be willing to share via PM, that would be much appreciated.
