The wheeling opportunities are awesome with open "off" roads everywhere. There's a trail guide for these roads that you can buy. I have lived back east and was disappointed in how few back country roads there were compared to the west. I grew up in Northern New Mexico and there are just as many open roads there as there are here.
When I lived back east I dated a girl whose parents lived in Framingham. How far is that compared to where you are?

Extra credit if you pronounce it Wistah.

The Native American language is 'Algonquian'. Our village here on the outer banks is named Chicamacomico, loosely translated it means 'land of shifting sands'.

I think so, based on the fact the flange was exactly the same as the Dorman replacement, but I couldn't say with 100% certainty. It was rusted pretty badly and it appeared to have had extra metal welded onto it. It was cracked at the base of the front (of vehicle) Y section and at the 1 cyl port. The crack at the base looked like it might have been attempted to be repaired, it had like a cottage cheese look to it - so I'm not sure if it was welding, or some kind of exhaust paste/jb weld that had hardened.
The engine was swapped out 2.5 years ago, and the Jeep is 23 years old, so there's plenty of opportunity for the manifold to have been replaced prior to my ownership.
