Beings is your from philly, Paragon is closer than bloomsburg, and they have a camground on site, as well as others nearby. I haven't wheeled there yet, but my brother and I are working on 2 "cough" CJ-5's "cough" to run up there. He has run his truck there a few times, but it comes home with new battlescars after every ride. Don't know how much body damage your looking to risk. They may have some easier trails than the ones he ran though.

 

Well I'm stationed in Philly home is Boyertown, its SE of Reading. Either place is a decent drive. I have heard good things about Paragon, but like you said im not trying to become an aout body specialist. The mudding all four tires spinning donuts type stuff is the most fun, but dont get me wrong the technical stuff is fun too. Coming home with mud all over the place and esp in Philly the looks you get are priceless.

 

Being a city guy my whole life I can definitely understand that statement B.O., Big rims, skinny tires and lots of bling. Now for a unique idea of a GTG, Lets mud up the trucks, I'm talking can't see out the windshield mud, crank up some hard driving rock and cruise through the badlands.

 

Yeha thats the kind of GTG im talking about. I have pics of a My roommates BII and my Sport Trac when we were down near the airport that are about that. It was a great time. I only had to pull him out once. We went to the wendys on Oregon Ave afterwards and the people working couldnt get enough of our trucks it was really funny.

 

Hey B.O., do you know where the badlands are?

It's an area that was featured on the show cops and was listed as the roughest spot in America. If we drove through, there may be an exodus for the border. Most of the inhabitants would think the border militia was there with INS checking green cards.

 

This "Badlands" area is in Philly? I know of some bad parts but where are you talking about.

 

It's in North Philly. I spent most of my teen years there. Some of my buddies are still in the area. Some day when you have time I'll hook up with you and give you a look see.
I'm around the Drexel area frequently, my old business was started at 40th and Walnut. One of my favorite lunch trucks is on 40th St., U of P neighborhood but close enough to Drexel.

 

A paragon trip sounds great let me know when I can get a few trucks around.

 

Well, the world gets smaller. I'm in Green Lane. Most people would have no clue where it is, but seeing your from Boyertown, I'd bet you do. Paragon would be fun, but my "cough' Jeep "cough" isn't ready for that yet.

 

If you need parts for that jeep let me know, I have friends with lots of spare parts.

 

Hey Ben,
How you doing out there in internet land? Sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up in FT. Washington. I posted to the other members that your family has a campground, you could possibly arrange a GTG there with the guys from your area. Help them to find some mud or trails around there.

 

Hey Joe I am sorry about Ft Washington I was down there for about 8 weeks but I was working swing swifts and all kinds of hours, I didnt want to plan something and have to cancel again. We really dont have any good trails around here anymore we used to go into the old strip mines but the state took over the land and are fining anyone who goes in there. There are some local mudbogs that we go to that are alot of fun, anyone that wants to come to one let me know.

 

I grew up on a farm in Pa. and we hunted and trapped. Now I fish freshwater and saltwater. When I was about 12 years old I got Muskrat traps I think they were #1 and #2 traps. So off I go and baited the traps and set them. The next day I caught a BIG SKUNK. Well I took my 22 cal. and shot it! I missed and got sprayed. That was very bad. I thought I was going to chock to death. A week later I went to check my traps it was around 5 am before school. I saw something near the tree line and it ran so I got my trusty 22 ca. and got close to it and found a SKUNK! I was so scared I ran right into a tree and the Skunk got me but not as bad as the first time. I now just fish.

 

"Camping" is a bad word because I don't do enough if it... Originally an Oregon Webfoot, transplanted in the hills of East TN. Last night we watched 6 deer just below the house. This morning we had 21 turkeys in the field w/ the horse. Don't like the tast if game? FACT: wild meat is better for you than domestic. I'll take pheasant over KFC any day. I had to fence in my garden this last spring - deer like sweet potato and corn. I don't "catch" dinner from my back door, like a couple of my neighbors. There is Nat'l Forest about 200 yards away. When we lived in Oregon I used to go camping on horseback - take what fits in the saddle bags and a sleeping bag behind the saddle. THAT'S camping. Bacon and eggs taste better with a light sprinkling of camp fire ash.

 

Yeah I have every idea where that is. There is a really nice u pull it junkyard like 10 mins from Green Lane, I think its a Harrys.
