NE area wheeling trip plans

Oh of course! I always keep my socket set and other tools in the truck as well! Thanks @ERMB for reminding me!

 

I always have my basic tools with me. Sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers etc. I also carry a bag with electrical connectors, wire, electrical tape, duct tape and hose clamps. Common tools to get me out of a bind if in case something goes wrong.

 

Please share the location where we will be meeting before going into Nepaug. I believe you said diner? Diner may be a bad idea on a Sunday morning as that seems to be the busiest time for them.

I would suggest meeting on Ramp Road. Plenty of space to park to the side and meet and not taking up space in someone's business. I'm not organizing though and don't want to step on any toes.

 

That or meet at a market or something with a large open lot. Parking on the side of the road attracts unwanted attention.

 

The road I described is the one that people use to get into Nepaug. No other person would be driving there unless going in.

If you're looking for a big parking lot, Ocean state Job Lot is Canton is right near there.

 

Looks like there is a big gravel parking lot at some soccer fields/pond at '96 Powder Mill Rd, Collinsville, CT 06019'. @themajewski this way we aren't lined up on the side of the road.
Ramp Road into the forest is right there as well (you can see on the map below)

 

I will post up the list of folks coming later tonight as well as a more detailed plan. I will map out a potential trail route for us to take, which of course will probably deviate once we get out in the woods and find more trail offshoots. Really excited for sunday

 

Sweet deal, can't wait! I'll be riding down from Mass with my buddy and his jeep in tow, just post up a confirmed address and a time and we'll be there!

 

I don't know if there will be much standing water there but I'm sure we will run into our fair share of mud and gunk throughout the day. I've been wanting to do the rear differential breather mod but haven't gotten around to it yet. Should I try and get that installed on Saturday or do you think it's nothing to really worry about for this trip?

 

I know there are spots there that the breather mod will come in handy

 

Hey when is the next meet ?? And where ?? Shout out to Scott for sending me this link

 

Scroll up lol. We have about 10-12 rigs wheeling on Sunday at Nepaug State Forest in CT. 10am we hit the trails. I'm going to post a detailed post tonight once I get a few minutes

 

Haha, that didn't take long. I think the last few pages cover a trial ride coming up this weekend in Conn.

 

Alright everyone, here's the "official" post for a day of wheelin' Sunday 11/6 @ Nepaug State Forest

Where: Nepaug State Forest, Connecticut
When: Sunday 11/6
Who: see below. We are looking at 16-20 rigs on the trail which is absolutely awesome. Pumped we got this together so quick. Please let me know if anyone's attendance changes so we don't wait up for anyone that's not coming.
Meeting spot: 96 Powder Mill Road, Collinsville, CT 06019 (gravel lot next to soccer fields/pond)
Meeting time: 9:30-10:00am. We will start the trails at 10:00am.
Trail guide/plan: see below map with a possible route that I planned out. I'm sure we will find more stuff along the way and/or want to re-do certain sections we decide are awesome.
Other: I plan on packing a cooler with water and food so we don't have to leave the forest for lunch. We can probably find an area to pull off the trail and chill out and eat whenever we feel like it.

I didn't make the list :/ I'm in for Sunday.

If you have the parts, hose clamps and zip ties it takes like 10 minutes. I ran mine up behind the driverside taillight.

 

I drilled a hole in the drivers side covered bed pocket

 

Fixed! Sorry about that. So 13-18 rigs. This is sweet!

 

I'll have my buddy/co pilot with me as well

 

Same here, and don't forget a big flat head screwdriver - for prying, picking, chiseling, etc. Also, after watching you do Mama Bear, I am looking for a used driveshaft to take along as well...no joke, I have been. Its a weak point on our trucks

 

Okay thank you. Now hopefully I can find myself the breather peices tomorrow lol.
