I do not think it is a Ct. thing but maybe New England is missing from the USA . I live in the smallest state and we have been missing forever , all we have is Newport . But I get it .

But you also have beaches! I used to go to Roy Carpenter's Beach, a long time ago in another life and always enjoyed RI beaches. Also I belonged to the RI Guard and standing on the ramp of a (CT-owned) CH-53 flying over the RI beaches to jump into URI sod fields was a blast!!

Would have been better to jump on a beach but I know of those sod fields . My kid days were at Scarborough beach and after Army days Misquamicut beach with the bars . Now it is lazy time in the pool . Spent many weekends in NW Ct. at cousins house , real rural and we looked for barn find cars and parts .

I'm thinking of planning a Ranger Reunion(?) for a weekend in the late Spring early Summer before the "hordes" arrive at the tourist venues. Thinking about the Cape and beach 4X4-ing. Open it up to NE, but national too. What do you think?

The hordes keep me away from Cape during summers . With covid who knows about Mass. rules this year . Many people do love the Cape anyway .

Well according to the Fed's websites, you have to carry "get-your-own-ass-out" gear (and they check!). So I guess it will be you (and your Ranger buddies....) Just to let you know I like Sam Summer or Porch Rocker!!! ?:clap:

I wonder what I'd need. I have no recovery gear ATM.

Let me know, I’m local and would be glad to join the mayhem ?
Rick, do you know any good places where a bunch of ranger guys could go, do some 4x4, and maybe camp out. Maybe kid-friend ly too. I was thinking Mass bc it’s midway and I know about the Cape. But if there is a better place, I’m game. Would like to put a face (as much as you can with a mask!) to some of these posts and check out our rides...

Here is a link that describes local 4x4 areas. Had some local to me and never knew it! ?
