ne4roc unite!!!! (I need your help)

the weather sucks - so I have come south to Mass. from NH. My buddy and I (land rover defender 90) want to wheel tommorow but have limited (ie no) knowledge of trails around here. So I was wondering if anyone wants to head out for a mud-trail run tommorow (Saturday) in Ashburton(sp?) and if not - if we could get directions to the trails. -

edit: I know you guys are meeting on the 18th but I am working that weekend.

Why would you even wheel without one?

*edit- That hole is nasty, I made it through once a while back but since then noone has. Capeyota ripped off his skidplate in it.

I have a fear of deep water crossings.

(we should send my buddies land rover throught that thing - I am pretty sure the defender has factory extended diff breathers -plus he has dual lockers.)

BTW, you are aware that ashburnham is a very easy trail and that you will never need dual lockers here right? haha, just making sure.
