Despite a Subaru losing its bumper and me breaking some plastics. It was a decent time. The invitation was posted on a couple different forms. Overland bound was the only forum that had someone show up ha. But it was a good time.

Looks & sounds like ya's had a great time! I'm glad to hear the damage was minimal. Great job! Did ya's get wrapped up before the rain rolled in?

Yea. Way before it. We got tired of dealing with ice. We wrapped up around 2 or so

On Sunday, we rode to Tuckerton to visit family. In 2 places, one on 542 just east of Lower Bank Tavern & one on Stage Road at Bass River SF was flooded completely across the road. The surrounding soil at these locations are low/wetlands and just can't hold anymore water.
Speaking of Stage Rd. I was thinking it would be a cool trip to research, map & follow the Old Tuckerton-Stage Rd. A little google search will give a little insight on the route, so maybe gauging some interest for a ride?

Be careful of ice. It’s a lot thicker than it looks. Ripped my Jeep up pretty bad last weekend.

The trusty ol' green turd is my beater really, as long as I have someone there to pull me to the street, I can call Geico for a tow.
I have absolutely 0 experience in the snow/ice, so I have no idea what it is or isn't capable of, I definitely plan on taking it easy for the most part

I'm not a Facebooker but I read this on another NJ pine Barrens site I belong to.
(Stinks cause Goodwater Road from Quaker Bridge to Batsto is my favorite ride when I'm on my DR350):
"On their Facebook page they show bridges under water. Pipe on good water road is completely washed out. They showed Evans bridge and the water is touching the bottom under the roadway"

To bad you are shooting for the 23rd. I'll be out of town but would love to take a trip in my tundra sometime. Let me know of any other weekends you plan!
Enthusiast III
