Freedlyville Quarry / Dorset Caves group trip?

My gf's dad used to spend all summer living up along these roads at hunting camps, infact he still has the road map from back when he was like 20 and it has literally every road in Maine on it. He said back in the day, as soon as you entered the reserve roads they would tail you in a bronco and just stare you down, 41 in a 40? FAT TICKET. I say just watch our backs and roads are roads up there.

 

Eh, I've never had too much of an issue up there. The logging roads are the wild west up there. Yeild to logging trucks and if your truck can physically exceed the speed limit on some of those roads, power to you.

It's real nice up there. Quiet. Saw 1 park ranger and 2 trucks in 140miles of dirt road. Zero houses, camps, or anything. Everything is set back off the logging roads pretty well into the woods as the Maine guys on here could tell you I'm sure.

 

Mind you that was a good 30 years ago hahaha but it sounds like a good majority became strictly logging roads, sounds like a fun time with possible corner drifting

 

What / when is that event?

I painted my sliders in my basement last year right before the snow started to fly.. 2 cans of primer and 3 cans of black. House stank for a solid week, roommates were not impressed haha

 

The weather is looking better and better

 

Sunny with a high chance of mud . Lol

 

Slippery sunshine!

 

Well now.

 

I like mud.

Its the annual toyota takeover at rausch creek.

 

OP is there room for one more truck?

Just seen this......thinking about joining in, what time on Saturday morning will the trail ride start??? Because I"m thinking about arriving on Saturday and wouldn't want to miss the start!!
Thx, Mike

 

My wife and I will be there Friday night, probably around 7.
I'm not sure how sites have been divided up but we just have a small ground tent

Does someone have on-board I could refill with?

 

Everyone excited? One day away.

 

Alright so who is heading up friday midday? I took the day off so I should be ready to go.by like 11am-ish. Heading out from Waltham and down to hit any forest roads etc.

If not I'll just head up there and explore a while until people filter in.

Pm me the deets!

 

Yes I was going to hook up with @m603holden somewheres cause he knows the fire roads. Just not to sure on time or meeting place yet.

 

Ah okay I thought I saw a post regarding a convoy up. I'm super jet lagged so I might have mis read it.

 

"Know" is such a strong word....
I'd say I'm a proficient map reader with a lot of navigating fortune.

I do have for sure routes as well though. I'll get a final time early this evening. If all goes well the gf should either have tomorrow off or will only need to go in for a few hours. That will be the determining factor for me. Mid day is probably just fine.

 

I'd love to run with you guys if you can wait till 14 or 1500.. I gotta work till at least noon tomorrow probably a bit later, then its a ~2 hr drive to the Nashua NH area where @m603holden suggested we meet up.

 

We are currently at or maybe even one over our trucks/ camp site limit for the ones we had reserved. Does anyone know if @Basidiomycota is still going? I had him as a maybe and havent seen him in a while. If he IS going, that will put us at 9 trucks... in which case him and you @Mongoose could split another site?

 

I believe I can split with @Basidiomycota and free 1 more space yes. Can we figure out another truck count?

 

You mean you guys are riding together in one truck?
