Hey Rich,
Seeing as how you live in RI, I have an OT question. I'm looking at
Johnson & Wales in Providence for culinary school - how's the wheelin'
around there? I'm ok with a little travel, and my uncle has a large
property in the middle of NH, but is there anything close by for quick
trips?
This could make or break my decision, so any info would help.

From where I live ..... Woodland Hills IIRC.
I might be thinking of someone in a Toyota group though :/

BTW, sounds like you've been to Ocotillo Wells?
What's it like?

There are some spots to wheel in the area but they are in the northern part
of the state. Since Rude Island is such a huge state, an afternoon of
offroading is not out of the question. I understand your desire to wheel, I
miss the good stuff out west, but if you have the opportunity to go to
Johnson and Wales, take it. I'm sure you know their reputation.
If you get out here let me know, we can hook up and I'll show you some
spots. I work with a couple guys who also wheel, we can make a round Rude
Island offroad weekend or day. There is also a good jeep club in the area
called Patriots jeep club. Good bunch of folks and they have some great runs
in the area too.
Your relative is in a great area for offroading. I personally don't know of
anywhere up there, but if you find out let me know, I love that area up
there.

PS I call it Rude Island but its not that bad... Just the people.
