People who are new to wheeling in the northeast may not be familiar with the practice, but it is a definite no-no to publicly post trail locations in the New England area. There are no National Parks open to 4wd vehicles out here, so most land is either unmaintained public roads, or private property that requires land owner permission to drive on. Posting these kinds of locations publicly would result in the trails being severely over used and closed down, so clubs are protective of the locations. That is why in the northeast it is important to be part of a club if you want to wheel... much of the land is only legally accessible through the permissions that have been granted to clubs.

Try looking up the location of any popular New England trails if you don't believe it - people run trails in New England every weekend, but you will have to do some real digging to find any locations posted on the internet, and even when they are they are usually not using the real trail names.

I plan to be at this event on the 29th, so if any of you decide to attend, I will see you there.
