New England B.S. Thread

I like this kind of weather. Not too hot, not too cool. Perfect. Can't wait to start camping and hiking! Gonna get a hennessy hammock... So pumped!

 

I can't wait for summer but this weather is just fine Im looking forward to a good hike. I hit the blue hills with my GF and the dog. Really trying to make it to Mt katadin this year.

 

Mast road....half marathon? Interestingly enough I'm right off mast road...and my fiance is also running a half marathon.

I just picked up a roof rack from a guy right down the road. He just sold a tacoma and has a ton of tacoma stuff. I'll get a list for you guys if anyone is interested.

 

Veryyyy nice idea!!!

 

Anyone do the st pats 5k in prov last weekend? Seemed like most of new england was there.

 

If yer hittin up katahdin let me know! I've hiked it a couple times, dying to go again. We should get a tw katahdin trip going! Love that hike... Going into the green mountains soon to chaperone a middle school trip, loading my truck up with all there packs! Pretty excited.

Also, flying around newbedford today I noticed that just to the northeast of the newbedford airport there is a lot of trails, some sizable mud pits, for all you mud fellows, but couldn't see the entrance. At least one that hasn't been fenced off. Do any of you know about it? Looked really good from 1,100 feet want to check it out some time.

If you look on google maps, it butts up to the airport right off the approach end of 23.

Edit: it's on the north side of the paved road, you can see a trail goin back into it.

 

Looks like people go out there . There's tire tracks . Must be nice just flying around ,seeing everything from a different perspective .

 

The tire tracks were really visible today because a lot of the water had drained. And yeah it's not a bad way to spend time!

 

Looks like it is owned by The Airport and parts of it are considered a state protected swamp.

I know that the land that is in line with the runway is owned by the airport cuz that's where the rabbit lights are for the approach. But the land to the left of that has def seen a lot of use. Can't see it in the maps detail, but I could some of those tire ruts were very fresh, deep too. I know there is a guy who has a decked out wrangler who goes off roading a lot, I'll ask and see if he knows anything about it because he lives in newbedford.

By the way, thanks for the link eborgie!

 

It looks like the entrance is fence from Plainville rd . Atleast what i can see on google maps . I have a friend at work that lives and offroads down that way . Ill ask him tonight about it .

 

Sweet. There's definitely a way to get back there... Next time I drive past (tomorrow) I'll investigate more!

 

Does anyone have any recommendation on where to buy steel tubing and plate steel from ? South shore mass would be nice .

 

I'm interested too. All I've found is online suppliers.

I talked to my buddy at work. He said that he's never been out there but will check it out this weekend in his jeep . All he talks about is Freetown state forest and how awesome it is.

 

I didnt know you could go wheeling at freetown state forest!!! Thats not far from me.
