Default Any want to come on a Trail Ride? Catskill Mts NY

Looking to do a trail ride next week and figured I'd send a invite out to anyone who wants to come. It would most likely be Tuesday, 12/28. I'd recommend rigs built at or above 33"s and at least one locker.
Here's why:

There were a few people interested in going but all back out. The best excuse I heard was "I think some squirrels chewed some wires on my jeep".... yeah ok, lol.

Biggest thing is the trail legal to be on? ie you know the land owner or something like that. I've got too much to lose if its not a legal trail being an officer for a well know club in the area.

I would not invite people if I thought there would be issue. I've been on a very similar trail with the Hudson Valley 4 Wheelers, they are not a club that goes on illegal trails. It is marked as a road/trail on most maps and it is not blocked off/posted/or "no motorized vehicles beyond this point". However, the trail has not been passed by a jeep in many years, so we are going to have to clear minimal trees from it. If this discourages anyone that's not a problem with me, but these are the only types of trails (not roads) NY offers for Jeeps.


***On that note: I am going to re-try this trail ride for Monday the 17th. Anyone interested?***

Ok great. As for a saw the bigger the better. I walked the trail today and it's about 40 minutes each way, currently ~5" of snow. This is going to be one very hard trail.
