    UPDATE 3/30/18,

    After some good chatting, I think we got some interest in trying to do something in the PA/NJ soon. My availability is looking pretty wide open after two weeks so feel free to post up a timeframe range or whatever cause this is about wheeling with the boys! Doesn’t mean we have to do high speed runs for say all the time as Rausch has been on my radar for a good minute. But if we are overlanding, my hope is we are more than just crawling through as I think most of us are speed junkies!

    This List will grow as we collaborate more and identify good spots to venture out together as time goes on.

    North East Corridor:
    • Rausch Creek (PA) - rock crawler environment of all levels, crawler low speed limit. Skids/sliders are encouraged for most trails but has stock friendly greens.
    • Pines (NJ) - moderate overland/crawling spot with some wide open terrain for some fast mover fun!
    • Flagpole (VA) - stock friendly mild rock/dirt terrain. I have driven this a few times and it’s easy to maintain 15-20 mph on a stock vehicle here. There are some features, but nothing guys with 33s can’t conquer.
    • Petersmill (VA) - this place has a very mild rock and dirt path with some occasional Little Rock’s to flex on. Stock guys can easily kill this trail, but is a great one for blasting on trail. I hit this comfortably at 20 mph before I went LT. This is not far from flagpole.


    Sup peeps, due to the east coast it is not always easy to find similar adrenaline type drivers like there tends to be out west...especially in SoCal. I am making this thread as a sort of communication platform for possibly meeting up with others and hopefully gathering some ideas on some decent wheeling spots through out the east coast and some central areas.

    My hope here is that from a region standpoint we might be able to collaborate more and create some fun runs with each other as I know there are varied LT folks up and down the coast. To help with getting some interest going, I am tagging a couple LT guys I am aware of on the east coast as well as some other guys I know that like to haul ass when possible.

    By all means, feel free to share this thread with anyone that you like to wheel with or know would fit in.

    Hell yea guys maybe we should start populating known spots and get some sort of rating/feature descriptions of regions? This could help identify possible spots so we can all be better informed on making trips outside of our locales?
