: Hey TJ,
: I never head out by myself, theres always someone in the passenger seat to help winch out when needed. It would be better/safer to head out with another Jeeper, but untill I hook up with someone willing in the Boston area (who's as insane as me), its just me, a co-pilot, and the YJ.
: I could have used a second Jeep this weekend, we ended up beaching the YJ on a logging trail that had 3 foot wheel ruts. After a 3-5 hour strugle with the hand winch, we had managed to get it back about 75 feet before the "final beaching" and nightfall.
: We walked to a farmhouse down the road and the owners called a tow truck and put us up for a few hours till it arrived.
: I'll post all the details of this misadventure in the Life with the YJ section when I have a chance.
: It was a very amusing day, and even getting stuck turned out to be a good time as we met a very nice couple and got to laugh at the tow truck when it stalled and killed its battery after winching us up to his rear bumper.

: Anyways... if you've got a Jeep in the Boston area and you aren't concerned about dinging it up a bit and don't mind making your own trails when needed, send me some email and we'll hit the trails.
: BTW, I'm starting to consider any route where the trees are less than 3 inches thick a trail.

: You have found out why not to go into areas without another jeep not another person in the passenger. I own a 1976 CJ-5 and I live in Virginia. Planning a trip to Mechanicsville Va. just east of Richmond to do some trail running.
: As for trees less than 3" in diameter a trail? You must realize that destruction to the enviorment is one of the biggest reasons why 4 wheelers can't get access to land in many areas of the country. I have lived in Connecticut and
used to go to Rhode Island where there was an area off of I-95 but the destruction of trees and vegetation made the state reconsidered and closed the area down. If you remember there is a TREAD lightly program does any of this ring
a bell? There are a lot of places to go and the mountains of Essex Vermont has a club I strongly urge you to look into.

: In conclusion you dont have to be insane to own a operate a Jeep or any 4 wheeler to have a good time just use your head.
: If you get down this way let us know and maybe we will get hooked up and do some wheeling.
