Some wheeling pix

Nothing too serious here...just testing her out...the pix of course do not do justice. There is literally a network of trails right in my back yard... I could prob get to canada only having to cross main roads.

That looks like a cool forest to wheel in. Someone stole your rocks, though; you should look into that.

Unfortunately no,I dont'. those are sled, 4 wheeler, yota/jeep trails, old logging roads, they interconnect all over the place around here. Apparently, the largest undeveloped chunk of land in so. maine, is in my backyard, and there are trails galore. The hunting is good too, the pic of me coming down the hill, is where I plan to hunt this year.

Cool, cool. There must be some seasoned hunters that know those trails like the back of their hand.

that looks nice I think this may be the first time in my life I have even thought of going to Maine or even remembering its a state.

Endless trails are only something I can imagine. California is kinda limited if youve ever been to an OHV area like hollister hills well............you can go around in circles

Find some hillclimbs or potentials and get more pics even if you dont go up them I assume you have hills.

Not really I live in the mountains of santa cruz and im a firefighter for Cal fire / California department of forestry. All I can say is PRIVATE PROPERTY.

At first glance sure it seems like theres alot going on but central cal has no real open areas or huge BLM areas (down south theres a bit). I can tell you logging companys dont take kindly to random wheelers. The areas that arent currently being logged are always chained private property.

Most of my favorite trails are super secret squirrel usually areas that have previously burned where the bulldozers have come and cut fireline and make really awesome trails or open old firelines or roads from times past. That being said im still not supposed to be there 90% of the time.

I havent been up north much for wheeling trips pretty much as far north I go to wheel is rubicon maybe once a year with my best freind my yoda and his heep. Santa cruz trails are ALL locked down.

Plus when I think endless trails I think places like Dixie national forest in Utah or capitol reef national forest where you can pack all your camping stuffs and guns then literally go wheelin for a week straight not seeing the same trail twice and end up in another state.

is that the infamous v.a.s.t. (i think thats what I have heard) snowmobile trails? That looks like an awesome time. Reminds me of the Pachaug state forest near my house.

None at all. You can runn 33's w/o a lift, 33x10.5/11.5 will give no rub, 33x12.5 will rub a bit at full cut w/o a lift. Thanks...yes I am very lucky, I love maine...just wish I could afford to live here...lol
