I've got to go up to the Mayo in the next couple of weeks, so I was wondering, any place I can take the Libby, in between tests? |

Hey! I'm in Rochester. There is little to nothing around here for offroading (legally). There is a local 4x4 Unlimited club that members have access to land, but most of these rigs are running 38"+ tires and the trails are too difficult for our libbys. They also have a shop that I'm bringing my Jeep into on Monday. I'll ask them if they know of any places to go! |

Thanks, and you're right: ruts from 38inchers are a little to deep for my little 245/70s to follow, but I may have to take the long way home, through Michigan's U.P.....  I'll keep a lookout for any updates you may post, I just thought maybe I could catch a little mud, since I have to go 500 miles to get to Rochester.
(Hey! Nobody said I HAVE to go through Illinois and Indiana to get back home!)

Any unpaved forest roads in that RJD Mem Hardwood State Forest down there? I'm new to the state and have not ventured south from the cities yet. |

I haven't found any public trails or unpaved roads down here. I just searched for RJD Memorial Hardwood State Forest and found a bunch of horse, mountain bike, and ATV trails but nothing for ORV's. A buddy of mine found a minimum maintenance road a few years ago that even had a few very shallow river crossings, but I think the DNR closed it because vehicles were disturbing/polluting the water. |

I just got back from the 4x4 shop. They don't know of any trails besides the ones their private club has on their land.

Thanks for trying. Like I said, I may just have to detour a little in Wisconsin, or hit a few forest service trails in Michigan's U.P. on my way home. Depending on when I go, it may be snowy by then, giving me a little more fun along the way.

Have you been anywhere with the 'Rough Riders'? I've been down to Donelly's and all the trails I saw would stop a lifted liberty in about 2 seconds. I would like to know of some trails we can go on, so if you or your brother find out, let me know!!! |

Where exactly is Donnelly's? Is there a website for it? I'm compiling a GoogleEarth list of everywhere in the country to wheel, and I don't have very many in MN. http://home.comcast.net/~steve_83/site/ ... RV_Trails/ |

It is private land owned by a local 4x4 club. You must be a member to have access to it. |
