So, Tolland State Forest, Tolland, CT.

Is there somewhere we can all meet just outside of this place... I think I saw the Town Hall mentioned...?

Oh, and while I'm 99% sure of what the answer will be, I have to ask anyways... this is a rain or shine kinda thing, right?

Also, any rules/regs I should know about? I may be bringing a friend who's never gone off-road with a group before, so I want to be sure we're all on the same page.

While you're here, what kind of CB do you have??? I'll probably be adding one before the run....




Hmmm... as said above, i might be able to meet up with you, depending on where we leave.

I got a midland 100Z, the only place I know of around here that has them is you do it electronics in Nedham higllands, I got mine off of Amazon though, and I'm using a firestik II antenna.

if you want to drop by one day after work i can show you how I set it all up.

For everybody traveling the Mass pike and getting off in Westfield (exit 3), if you want to, you folks can meet me at friendly's, you can't miss it when you get off the exit. We'll depart there about 45 min. before we want to be in Tolland. as for a meeting place in Tolland, I say we meet along West Hartland Rd in Granville. For folks that have been there before. It's the road across from the last exit we used on our last trip, the road that the state forest sign points to. This way we can just zip across the road and hit the trail right away.

Ok... I've never been to where we're going... is this Tolland, MA or Tolland, CT??? If anyone has an address i can punch in my GPS, that would be helpful. Stupid Question: Is this place a legal place to wheel all the time? Any special rules or requirements?
