There is a show in New Jersey in April, I believe, in Augusta at the Sussex Cty. Farm & Horse Show Fairgrounds. I would be interested it it was later in the summer...

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

Ahhh ok didn't know about that one. But since we are so close to the base and the pine barrens we alot of places to go ride. And a pretty good size spot to have a show/swap meet and woods ride. Pretty flexable with when we can have it.

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

I will be at this as well. I was Just talking to MUDLORD. We could set up a 100 mile ride. we have space if any body wanted to trailer there stuff. And then drive. I think it would be fun. We have big enough area to park vehicles and have a swap meet in the future and go from there. I would love to see 50 vehicles plus. There are 2 so far...


Also room for track vehicles as well. And a lake to have some amphibious vehicles to take a swim about 4 minutes away.


Mike (MUDLORD) maybe we can take some guys to the patch as well...

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

Good idea, Joec. As mentioned, be sure a date does not conflict with other mv events. I'm less than two hours from the proposed location, so it's ideal for me. The pond should bring out the "swimmers" (amphibious vehicles) and I know that the pines are a great place to trail ride.

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

I am looking into the dates. End of the summer sound good....July?

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

Joe,

I've run many trail rides through the Pines. Even got hassled by the rangers every time we went. Make sure you are registered and insured. Check with Mark from Pemberton. He runs rides through there all the time and knows the trails very well. He's a member on SS: Mark's Garage. Also contact NickD from SS. He lives in New Castle, DE and usually brings his deuce up for rides. There are also some Unimog owners who have gone on my trail rides who would like to go. Maybe you can see if there is a trail cleanup in the spring.

 

[joec]

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

Mark lives down the road. And i will try to arrange with the forrest fire sevice also. They can spread the word. I have to guys in towne that work for them. And one has about 3 M-37's. See if i can get Chris to go. He knows all that work for the state. I don't think it should be a problem. Mike (MUDLORD)...Knows alot of the trails. I would like to see some swimmers show. The water hole is more then large enough and deep enough for what ever shows. Plus we can have track vehicles.

Thanks, MIke
WE Will have a date soon!

RE: RALLY FOR N.J.???? TRI STATE AREA?

as far as a woods ride, we can set it up according to how many people and how far away they are coming from. if someone is driving in from far they may or may not want to do a hundred mile rough terrain ride and then have to drive home.
as far as offroading in jersey goes, its kind of frowned upon. not saying that we are going to get busted by ranger but we may run into them and they will stop us just to stop us because they do that with everybody. insurance and registration is a must. i dont know how track vehicles would go over. they may not be allowed in the parks. i know for a fact that they wont let amphibious vehicles in the waters. nj is verry funny about destruction of wildlife and vegitation. offroading is illegal according to the books, but driving in the woods isnt. i know places that we wont get hassled to play at but moving from place to place we may run ito the rangers and like i said we will be stopped. most likely they will see we are a responsible bunch of people and just check out our trucks like everyone else does. to ease your minds i will say thet i have been stopped in a larger group of trucks four wheeling, about 13 trucks, we had open containers in the vehicles and somebody threw one out the window and the ranger seen it and was more upset about the litter than the open container. he said dont litter, next time hide it better. so like i said, responsible people just cruisin in army trucks prolly wont be an issue with them.
as far as contacting them about the ride beforehand, dont know if thats a good idea or not. they may tell us no way. they may be totally cool about it. atvs and dirtbike ridiing is illegal, but they do do have enduro races and such in the state parks. all the bikes are tagged and insured and they do go off the designated trail so calling them may not be a bad idea. if its only a handful of trucks i woulndt worry about callin

The palce down the road is private and they have no say what goes on there it's a man made lake. The tracked vehicles can be at the township area with no problem Chris down the road from me is going to get back. He's in the forrest fire service and Fire warden. Like he said you respect the enviroment there shouldn't be an issue. It's not like it's a bunch of teenagers out tearing the woods up. We can have swimmers I will pass it with the owner. Jade Run Sod farm owns the pond. We should be ok as far as the lake and the parking area. Just have to decide on a date. The cruise should go great. As far as a swap meet thats up to the rest.

[joec]

I have some guys e-mailing me. If you want to do a swap meet . It's ok with me.

 

[joec]

If ANYBODY WANTS TO BRING PARTS THAT ARE HEAVY....Don't worry we can move them around we will have a off road forklift that can handle 5T. And we can handle it. Plus what ever else you can throw out there.
