6th Annual AOAA Invasion - October 14-16, 2022

I'm in Chelmsford but can meet anywhere. Depending on what time we're leaving I might be coming from Waltham.

 

Is this kid friendly? I brought my little guy to the Northeast Toyota Overland Fest last year at Famous Reading Outdoors and we had a blast.

 

There are usually wee ones present.

 

Awesome, thanks.

 

Is there a list of trails with difficulty levels? I checked out there website and it's very sparse in terms of information.

 

Did you see this map? Color coded for difficulty level.

Yeah I know @Arcticelf had his son with him last year, ballpark 12 years old?

There will be beer at camp, and no promises on not filling up a swear jar by the end of the night. But at the end of the day, it's a fun day in the woods and then it's a campground. Bring the tater tots!

Usually you can just go and be on greens or blues. Black/Red pop up and are offshoots, not the "main" trails.

 

Thank you. Is see it now. I went from hovering over "off road trails" right to "full size trails" on the drop down and there is no map.
The map is located on the "off road trails" page when I click on the page.

 

Any recommended minimum requirements for the blues, reds..?


Got an extra driveshaft to make sure I don't have to drive home as a front wheel drive Taco. Might have happened recently. Dclb problems

 

I'd say yes, and my son has been going since he was four, but your kid will may all of the colorful language of a Mechanic or Marine

 

Blues need skids and sliders. Steel bumpers are a good idea, but not mandatory. Fear of body damage should be left at camp

A spare driveshaft is a good idea, a spare CV axle is a very good idea.

 

Great info, thanks.

 

Blues? I recommend sliders and skids. Bring a usable spare tire.

 

Sorry to say I’m not going to be able to make it. Kid comes first and that Saturday is pretty packed now… I might try to make it out for some fun on Sunday but we’ll see.

have a great time everyone

 

Thank you for the advice. I'm going to stick to greens for now. Have more mods I'd like to do and it is, of course, my daily driver so I'd like to still be able to go to work and stuff so I can afford mods.

 

Ratings vary too. I accidentally ended up on a blue run at BHM that could be done stock. Hell I am basically an armored stock, at the time I didn't have bumpers just skids and sliders. But at AOAA blues without skids and sliders you better be willing to accept body damage. It might not happen but the risk is measurable. BHM could be done at stock level without risking body damage.

 

Man, time flies. Can't believe it is that time again already. I am there. Took Friday off, so ready for an early-ish start depending on others plans.

 

He's alive!!!!!

 

Always bring a spare.

Family first, there's always another wheeling trip.

Wise choice. You can also walk alot of the blues and see what they are. AOAA has alot of blues that are more dangerous to the body and glass than undercarriage. Rausch is the other way.

 

Are there any approximate “times” (ie how long a trail should take)?
