Day and weekend trips are ideal. I have three little ones so being able to bring them is a must.

I replied on your introduction thread as well. I'm also looking to get a small group together for some trips around New England. Have you tried Old Voluntown Road down in RI/CT?
I have not tried Voluntown Rd yet, I'm game for spring time. I'm also a member on ExploringNewHampshire.org. they do a few trips. Let me know about setting something up.

Sounds good! I'll let you know when I am heading there and maybe you can join me. I also know a cool trail in Oxford, MA. I go to NH often, so I want to join that group too. I joined Eastern 4x4 group, but they are hard core rock crawlers, so probably way over my head and capability.
Sounds good. I was a member of Toyota Crawlers but same issue the rigs were built for rock crawling mostly. I like doing mild to moderate trails to a destination with camping involved. I don't go crazy as my truck is my do it all everyday, as is yours I'm sure. Hopefully others are interested as well. Looking at getting sliders some time late winter/spring since my trucks wheelbase is long.

Yes! Now have a membership to a range near Grafton, MA, but there are also a few places in the woods where you can do some target shooting. I just got my license to carry for MA when I moved and still transferring some guns. CT also seems a bit strict, but likely will get nonresident permit. I'm not even going to bother with RI, it's way too strict and they tend to reject most applications I heard. I'll keep you posted and would be awesome to combine an off-road trip with some target shooting.

I definitely know my limitations, but will try most trails. I am well protected as far as sliders, skid plates, steel bumpers, but my vehicle is just not set up for rock crawling. People think I'm crazy wheeling a newer rover but I love it. Hahaha! I'm not about scenic expeditions and some of the unkept roads up north. Sadly New England is more about technical trails that all look similar rather than some of the epic views and expedition roads back in CA and UT. I have been on a few trails here and it's predominantly right forest, rocks, and mud. I definitely miss out west when it comes to overlanding.

Dare I say, I actually don't like mud. Just way too annoying. I have not been to Rausch Creek yet, but definitely planning a trip this summer at some point. It looks like a great place!

There are a few of us, though I split my time other places. Where did you goto college in Worcester? I went to WPI undergrad before heading to medical school.

Awesome! I'm a lot older than you, haha, but was a biology/biochemistry major. The school has changed so much from when I graduated in the late 90s. Such a small world. Hope we can get a MA get together going!
