I live in CT. A town called Branford not far from NYC. My brother moved to a small town near Binghampton, pretty close to Pennsylvania. For me it was a little bit of a shock when I drove to visit him. Lots of small dilapidated looking farms. Tons of houses that looked pretty dumpy but at one time must have been really nice. Telephone poles that looked ancient with the old style glass insulators. Dead porcupines on the side of the road. Snowmobile trails that people were riding quads. Really rural. Places to hunt and fish look pretty abundant. Stuff that just doesn't exist where I call home. I think I could really get into living in a place like this but I doubt I could make the living like I am accustomed to in a place like that.

ya it is prety much stock. i have a leveling kit in the front and ad a leaf in the back. i am running 31 in no name brand mud tires

sounds like my town! lol! i grew up in a big city in canada (hamilton, ont), it was quite a change when i moved here, but i love it out here. jobs suck though!

sounds close to what i got, so we can stay on the same trails. i got 33" tires, 3" bl, 2 1/2" spring spacers, and add-a-leafs. there is a place over in westcorners(near endicott) called killer hill that is pretty cool called killer hill. it can get nasty in winter though.

Killer Hill used to be ok 10 years ago before the housing developement took over up there. Try the Rt. 26 trail in Vestal. Pretty long trail, and not too difficult for stockers. Haven't been there in a few yrs, but we made a nasty trail down a rock creek that can get pretty gnarly when damp. Another favorite spot, Ladys Land on the southside of Binghamton. Lots of steep climbs and a good rock section thats tough to find if you dont know where youre going. Just stay away durning hunting season.

I live in Masonville, trucks not up to any wheeling though.

That's about.. 40 miles away from Binghamton.

Did you have the blue ranger for sale on craigs list?

I think it was full width axles locker front and maybe welded rear, some dent here and there.

We have a couple good events over Corning way during the warmer months, if you are interested I could keep you informed.

No. Mines not for sale, and bashed up from rolling a few times. Mos-def. What kinda events you run out there?

You CAN still get into Paragon if you really wanted to. The trails are all still there and in great shape. Apparently last year right after Paragon closed somebody decided to torch the lock on the gate for the I-81 overpass that connects Paragon with the strippins. This past summer there were alot of people in there but it probably won't last more than a couple of years because of that stupid airport that's being built.

These guys usually have 2 or 3 a year.

that sounds cool, where is the trail in vestal? i work pretty damn close to 26, any landmarks to look for an enterance? its not that place right by that little turn-around is it? cause i think that is gated now.

ya i was wondering the same thing

[HOUSE102PROOF]

If you go up 26 from Vestal, as soon as you pass Meeker rd, the beginning of the trail is on your left side just at the end of a guard rail. Or you can go up Meeker rd and at the top of the hill on your right side theres an opening to some power lines, you can also enter there. Like I said, havent been there since the Ranger became non street legal a few yrs back.

[pillen140]

will have to check it out... thanks man.

if you guys are interested , my family owns about 100 acres in North Norwich , about an hour and 20 minutes away from binghamton , i can talk to my grandparents about letting us set up some trails up there , there is alot of open fields and woods

look up W Cayuga Road , North Norwich NY

go to satallite

go from the R on Jones Road south and draw a line to german hollow road , everythin form there to the railroad tracks , except for the one big field by county road 23 is our property

well most of it is ours , there are some spots that arent , like where the houses are

Sterling is quite a ways away from Binghamton, it wouldn't be worth the multiple hr drive to come here or what little there is. Theres a club or 2 in the Syracuse, and the "Dacks" areas you could hook up with, thats a bit closer and have some good wheeling they know of.

[carchameleon]

i'm in rochester, ny and am part of team mudnuts 4x4 club (mudnuts.org)
i'd be interested in coming down there for a ride in my ranger.
we have a few places on private land that we're trying to get some trails on too. always looking for more though.
