New England B.S. Thread

I’m pretty sure the little stinker is gone! 2 nights ago, I sprayed vinegar and peppermint oil spray all around the base of the shed. Yesterday, I removed all the blocks that were making the skirt of the shed so it’s wide open and exposed and sprayed the underside with more peppermint but, he wasn’t in there. Checked again today and nothing. I’ll keep dosing the peppermint but I think he’s officially packed his shit and moved on!

 

Don't trust him. I would keep doing it!

 

Just traded in my WRX for a 2020 DCSB TRD looking for some light offroading (first outing).

Any recommendations? I'm in North Shore, MA. Got some time off work, would bring my MTB, possibly.

 

Welcome! What year WRX

 

Welcome aboard

 

Welcome aboard! I just moved up to Beverly, maybe I'll see ya around

 

Thanks!

She was a 2018. We had our fun. Apparently i have a thing for scoops...

 

Just moved to Salem... so I'm sure you are right! I'm on the trails in Beverly Commons often.

 

Are you the guy I passed on 128 the other day by any chance? Hahahaha

 

It doesn't drive like a WRX. A lot of people make that switch and then don't drive a body on frame brick like a body on frame brick and get upset at the brick.

If you're up for some truck camping there's a ton of trails up in Northeast kingdom. I mean you don't have to truck camp but that's what I do.

Check out big river management area in RI. Vietnam is cool. Swansea library trails are worth a day trip here and there orna shakedown run but not something I'd do constsntly. Lincoln woods same deal I go there a few times a year but some people go multiple times a week.

Welcome to the thunderdome.

 

At least the previous scoop was functional lol

 

Good stuff... thanks. I'm interested in truck camping. Going through the giant RTT thread and some of those setup are truky amazing.

 

You single? Check out my build thread I didn't go the RTT route I set up something in the cab

Disclaimer I am 5 10 and it works great.

 

Was told it was a 6am start today...it was not a 6am start

 

As in it's 8 AM or 5 AM?

 

So funny story. Every September 1st, Me and a number of my closest friends from growing up go off-roading up to the top of this place in our area called Turkey hill. It is a moderate trail, not stock friendly, and VERY overgrown (Hence all of my pin stripping on my taco lol). The reason why we go up there is because my buddy Tommy, who passed away at the age of 31 of MS on September 1st 2009, has half of his ashes buried up there. It used to be a place that we would all go up to back in high school to go mountain biking, hiking or off-roading. It was one of his most favorite places in the world. Now the moral of this story is that out of the past 12 years since he has passed, 10 of those years on Sept 1st, was pouring with rain. It was almost like Tommy taunting us from beyond. A week ago while all of us were coordinating the trip, I looked at the weather and it said, 72 degrees, mild and a 1% chance of rain. Then freaking Ida happened. WTF. Whelp not going to stop us......Trip commences at 5pm tonight.

 

Rain or shine!

That's awesome - same for us, northern maine woods. Friday might still be a bit soupy, rest of the weekend looks dry though.

 

"We don't start til 7"...which translated to 8 lmao
