Any place you might recommend for a day trip out of Boston? I'm itching to get the tires dirty...
I’m not sure if any towns close them for snowmobile season but if there’s snow I stay off them. I’m trying to build better relationships with all the different groups of motorized recreation so we can work together to advance our hobbies up here. There isn’t much left and landowners are actively trying to close all the class six roads that border their property.

Haven't sounded off yet but over on the North Shore.

Pretty darn stock 16 Colorado LT.
1.25" spacer in front and removed air dam.
Got the spacer so I could run something a little more aggressive when I replace the stock tires later this year.

My philosophy when it comes to automotive modification is replace parts with something better. I think the next big thing on my list is truck cap/topper. Camping with the family is stretching the 5 foot bed with a tonneau to its limits.

When I say that, please realize I say it in jest, not thatvim one to talk. I mean it can be a tough town. Tightly packed population, industrial in a number of areas, right on the water, tight parking...not offering as much to an overlander as other choices, is all. Other parts are very nice, like out near 129/rt 1.

I live over the river. I’m always down to beat the hell out of my truck on some of the local trails. What are you running.

Well I’m mostly into camping , and not into beating up my truck . With that being said I know couple of pipeline trails where I plan to just do some overnight camping when it gets warm . Always think it’s always pertinent to go with someone when taking trails . I do not have a winch but do have a high lift . I have been building my tacoma up since Toyota gave me a frame last year in July . I am a novice inexperienced driver and new to taking a vehicle that is my dayly driver off road . Not in the pic but I ordered new rci sliders and front steel skid by rci here is a pic

Mt Washington Auto Road is a fun drive with a view or famous bad weather. I recommend autumn time for that for the colors.

Been to the Cape on many a vacation but never to Race Point. I second the motion for Acadis. Been to Bar Harbor but not the mountains there.


Another Mass guy put up his (more detailed) leg of the Trans Mass, I think

Hey everyone,

I've been familiarizing myself with the website and forums, but haven't seen any regarding meet and greets. Are there any established groups that meet regularly here in MA?

Do you still use those of so message me
