    So I emailed Jeff at Wicked hills and asked if he is still doing rides. He stated there will be a ride on Sept 14th & 15th if anyone wanted to go. I can get more detailed if anyone was to take part in this.

    There's "remote" camping right there. Very similar to the cow pasture from VOT.

    Here is Jeff, reply, anyone interested in the saturday or sunday?

    We don't go out if it's raining to prevent erosion & run-off so as long as the weather is good we'll go. There is no limit on number of trucks, well we've never had too many. I ask for a $35 per vehicle/day donation to go toward our expenses as we need to meet with DEP again and have to have representation when we meet.
    I'll let you know what day once we decide, is Sat or Sun better for your pack?

    Wow, his prices skyrocketed!! affraid Either day is fine with me, but Saturdays usually work best for distant travelers. That way IF something breaks/happens, they don't have a wicked long drive home on a Sunday night. And it'll give a recovery day if need be.

    That's pretty steep, unless a meal is provided as well. Jeff is a great host and I really like the guy, but that price point will likely keep me and many others away.

    Not that its the same terrain but for 10 minutes more of travel time you could T&T down at the park in Lewiston. Much cheaper...

    True, I would be nice to get another place to ride, sense it is only 15 min from the house. All wheels is 45 plus from my house. I just as well may go down behind my house and play

    And off that same terrain concept RMTP is $20/person w/a flush bathroom, shower, kitchen and lounge. Not to Bash Wicked Hills, as I've been there a few times (yet to go this year, I heard this past spring was a mudfest, of which I'm not a fan of).

    Last December was a mudfest also. There is some good terrain but overall to muddy for me.

    Since this Saturday is Landowner Appreciation Day, maybe Jeff will give us a deal if we clean-up any of his trails that we traverse on. Just an idea.
