I did that every wednesday this winter to ride VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really , Champlaign vally ( addison county ) was the furthest south. Most of the time we left out of Glover. Then headed north or northwest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort kent and Virginia beach are the same drive times from here for some perspective on that place. it DOES take foreva! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted April 4, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 4, 2021 Damn...if a guy wants a halfway decent enclosed trailer he needs to move fast. They show up on Marketplace and disappear hours later. Guessing I’ll just order a new one.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on my list.

I heard they are now building a Mosque on it with a BLM picnic area including a rioting training city block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to pay a bit more than one would think as well but the same when selling so it's worked out ok. it was nice when i summerized yesterday to do it in something i could stand up in and move around even with my buddies sled still in there. It's not just trailers, yesterday my buddy had to make a decision on a side by side in minutes because if he didn't pull the trigger getting one before august was going to be hard. I've never paid sticker for a toy but he had no choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
