I know almost nothing about this so I probably shouldn't post anything but.....a member of the NEWJO-Maine just emialed me that he has permission for 1,000 acres of access :shock: I am trying to find out more. This is a very experienced/responsible wheeler so I feel comfortable that he actually has access.

Lets see 6 hours in a gas guzzler @ 2.50+/Gal. That might convince members not to go there.

A lot of encouragement you guys are. Knowing his typing skills it could be 100 acres not 1,000. Its something anyway. Otherwise its a 2 plus hour drive for us in Southern Maine to get to anything the NEA has.

For the record he has a CJ on 38's and puts it in some hairy situations along with others. They get special invites to go play in the Military training grounds WAY up north in Maine. Hope to have time to visit him today to get more info.

Hmmm.... only 6 hours. no sweet. But then I'm kicking around the idea in Oct. of leaving the beach (14 hr to NC) a couple days early. So I can drive 6 hr west to Telico and wheel for a couple days before driving 16 hrs home.

Being from CT - will travel to wheel :lol:

Lots of us drive over 3-4 hours to get to Paragon and then pay Paragon $40 a day to wheel.

This is great news - not just to give us all a new place to wheel but to give the ME wheelers a place to go and not have to keep going to NH. You guys in NH may not get excited about a parcel in CT either but wouldn't you rather see some of us stay home once in a while :lol:

The more land the better no matter what state in New England it is located in.

2 hours to the Homestead
2 hours to Windy Acres
2 hours to Springfield

all roughly 100 miles from my door.

more often than not, I'm happy to have made the drive.

Well this is the scoop. The guy had 500 acres on each side of the road and had signs up saying "hikers, bikers, hunters, atv's and offroad welcome, tree huggers stay out". He also had personally offered the property for the guys to use. When they asked him now, he has changed his tune, something has happened and he doesn't allow anyone on site (lawsuit maybe). They went over the NEA and NEWJO principles and offers of cleaning and maintaniance etc and at this point he wants nothing to do with any activity. It is about 2 hours from Portland.....cant remember the name of the town but something like Cambridge? Anyway at this point it is a no go.

unless he charges for use of the land, he is not liable for anyone that gets hurt.

Well so sense being coy, it is the guys at New England Offroad. Chris specifically that knows the guy/place. Chris is familiar with land use but the guy was just plain cold, like I said something happened (I guessed lawsuit but maybe trashed). Chris pushed it as far as he could.
