NE area wheeling trip plans

Get involved in here and with the ENH guys

 

Depends on how much you care about your truck. Actually a few Ben (i think bananapeelout on here) took his stock 2nd gen all over the moderate trails (including those you mentioned and besides scraping the crap out of crossmembers had no damage.

 

I did have to leave my trailer, even though I know it would have done it without giving anyone issues but glad I didn't on account I probably would have to replace the brakes after

 

I should take my wife's camry, has the hybrid regen brakes, thing would be able to take off to the moon after that descent!

 

Anyone busy already on Columbus Day weekend? @BadDNA @Sloth @mach1man001 @themajewski @STgen3 @Spare Parts might end up going up to NH along with every single other person ever for a night or two, might take some of the half baked trip, might take the bike with me and hit NEK. I only have a 26er hardtail.

TBD. I just realized it was next weekend.

 

looks like you guys got a great day to be up there. i was up there beginning of this summer for the first time and only had about half of the visibility at the top

 

Good find. I hadn't looked into that. I'll find out and let people know.

 

I haven't even thought about it

 

Yes it is possible and there are go arounds but you will have to be spotted through pretty much all of it.
But I wouldn't take a stock truck through that by no means

 

Ben was also extremely familiar with all the trails. I would not recommend it, but it is possible.

 

Yeah it's alot different if you know what your doing.
Line choice is everything!

 

Yep and I have wheeled most of those trails with him. The boy can drive.

 

Tow mirrors don't count as extra wide since they let me up lol

 

That's good! Now I just need to know about RRT's?

 

I doubt they’d be an issue. They probably just don’t want massive slide ins going up at 3 mph and blocking traffic coming opposite direction. The only thing I think we’d have any even second thought of is if people have antennas sticking out the side/aerial whips (doubt anyone has that) or max trax bolted to the side of toppers or bed racks. And even then they’re about as wide as the mirrors anyway, and it takes 4 seconds to take them off and put them in the bed for a few hours drive up and back.

 

BTW...someone PM'd me on ENH about the east to west overland trip? I planned the route, but it is not happening until next year now. Just dont have the time.

 

Yep that was @littlefish and me!

 

The fam is headed up to Lincoln, NH next week for a few days. Any suggestions for light trails, maybe near a lake to field to let the young ones to run around? I'll most likely just drive around and look for some and go for it, I do have some of the maps from the state's website.
Edit: looks like some of roads close seasonally which is 10/15, is that true?

 

Some do, but its posted at the beginning of the class VI, the trails close for quads and SXS use Columbus day weekend

 

Maybe check out Beede falls. I thought Tripoli rd was closed November 1st but could be wrong. Beede falls is down Sandwich notch road, I don't know the area well but that one might be open year round actually? Someone who knows the area better than me should chime in.
