I live in So Cal (Orange County) and i have to drive 2 hours to find any good wheelin areas, and all the areas are Desert. Anyways I was just wondering where you guys live and how many people live in So Cal.

Wah wah wah...you can take my snow and I'll take your roads, some awesome riding down there...I have to ride a couple hours just to find a curve here!! ;)
-
The streets and curves have been good to me since i rely on my Go-Ped (1.8 HP approx. 28mph)to get around since i dont have my license YET. 2 months DAMN. But as soon i get my license im gonna wanna wheel.
-
snow? im buffalo representin! we are due for 18 inches tonight. and my track is stuck at werk while i drive my hokey cable van around. boo hoo, i wanna go rippin around
-
I have a 80 Transam with a 425 bigblock. IN STORAGE for 6-7 months because of all this DAMN SNOW!! I'm willing to move to your place, you can move to Canada and take my place.
-
I live in Toronto Canada. We have all sorts of terrain outside the city... except for desert. :P
-
I'm not sure but I think I'd trade desert for snow. I can always forge new trails in a desert, but there is no fun in mud when there is no mud
-
doesnt anyone just sit and blow donuts for hours on end on the freshly powdercoated ice?

2 hours for awesome wheeling would be fantastic. In Chicago the closest legal place is the Badlands offroad park 4 hours away.

Even these spots are more for pre-runners or trucks built for speed and jumping
-
I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
We don't get much snow here, only for about 2-3 weeks during the winter. (if that)
As for wheeling. Let me just say that this island is a playground. There are so many good places to wheel and a lot of them are within 10 mins of my house. ;D
-
i live near santa barbara so cal and i cruise with a couple other samurais all over the spines of the local hills, turns and mud and steep grades are common around here and if you get bored theres allways one of the hundreds of riverbeds or pismo state park. 6feet :P
-
Central PA here, and I can be wheeling in 2 minutes. I live between two ridges, and we have an old shale pit about 3/4 mile from my house that is a lot of fun to play in.

How far is Lake George from Alex Bay?
-
I'm in New Hampshire, where there are tons of mountains and mud, too bad there are no legal places to wheel. It sucks trying to find places that aren't posted. Andrew
-
I'm just jealous of all the areas where we could legally wheel, yet there are vasts amounts of wheeling areas which are closed. Get involved with a local organized 4wd club. Search http://www.ufwda.org & http://www.sharetrails.org/ for an organized local club or association. Get involved and there will be more places than you can count to go.
As for me personally, located in a SW 'burb of KC, am 1+ hours from an ORV park http://ksrockspark.com which I helped open and manage. I'm ~2 hours from an ORV park in Randolph (Manhattan), KS which is run by Army Corp of Engineers. Then 3+ hours from Disney, OK, 12+ hours from the Rockies, 21+ hours from Moab, UT, 30+ hours from Rubicon, 2+ days from NW and NE and SE. I need to travel more, that's for sure.
-
Howcome all clubs have to be jeep oriented! The only one I found that isn't, has all these requirements you have to meet. It sucks, Zukes need to come to new england!

I'm moving up to Schoharie County by year's end, into the western Catskill Mnts. We're looking at 200-300+ acre farms now. Here's comes my own private 4x4 ranch!

Badlands OHV Park is awesome? ::)
You need to make the trek to Paragon AP, in PA for 'Gon Zookin'. You'll drool.

I live in Leominster in western Mass. Don't know much about the area I only lived there like 4 months before going overseas for the last year. I will be back later this month so looking foward to exploring..

Hey Jagular, I'm in Olathe. I guess I'll have to run down to Fort Scott this year and check out the park.
You might want to take a look at http://www.jdorv.com if you didn't already know about it. It's an ORV park in Joplin, Mo.

Paragon rocks! I was there in October this year, it's a 6 hour drive for us but worth it.
Ohh ya, I'm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
-
I've spent a lot of time at Paragon. Lotta fun. Also consider Rausch Creek ORP. It's about 40 miles south of Paragon right along rt 81. Also a good place and fun!

How far is Lake George from Alex Bay?
NOT SURE WHERE ALEX BAY IS :-/ ITS AN HOUR NORTH OF ALBANY ON I 87 ,EXITS 22,21,20 ..... I THINK ABOUT AN HOUR 1/2ISH SOUTH OF PLATTSBURGH.......

Yep. Local 4wd club, KC4WDA, has trail rides there maybe 2 times but definately once a year. KC4WDA has plan runs once a month, plus social events, plus a meeting once a month. I went last time (Oct. IIRC) with the Bronco.
As for the KSRocksPark, I'll be there on the 17th weekend, and 2/7th weekend.
For the 17th, I'll be there with the Bronco as I've gotten it to run pretty well now (hard idling and highway running problems). The 7th, I should have the -7 there. Come on down and I'll show you around either weekend.
To add, there will be a Suzuki owners run in Disney, OK on 2/14-15 called the ZukFreeze. I'll either be there on the 14th with a Sami, or the -7. PM me if you are interested.

Alex Bay is 90 miles North of Syracuse at the end of 81 before you get to Canada.

OK ...FOR ME TO GET TO SYRACUSE ITS AN HOUR SOUTH ...AND THEN 3 HOURS WEST...WE GO OUT TO THE STATE FAIR JUST ABOUT EVERY SUMMER...
