I’m heading to 508Intl in Sturbridge, MA this Sunday, (5/2) for their Jeep day. Expecting to be at the gate ~9am & start wheeling by 9.30.

There’ll be two of us wheeling together, maintaining social distancing. If you want to join us, let me know.

Have fun, Suresh! I'd like to get out there at some point.

Had a great day at 508, thanks John & Nick/Carpy for the company. We had two novice Jeep who didn’t have a group join us at the park making a nice group.

Nice, I need to make it there at some point.
I've watched videos, what are the trails really like?

The trails are pretty tight and they wind back and forth a lot. There’s a lot of spots you need to watch both mirrors at. It’s mostly green with a couple blue sections. And there’s a playground area with a little ridge cutting across that you can run whatever line you want. That area is anywhere from blue to black. And they have a rock garden area that is too big for most Xterras. They have a motocross track that you can run if you want. And a handful of 30-50 yard climbs that could be interesting for an hour or so depending on how many are running them. The 3 of us and 2 randoms ran all their trails plus a single line Nick wanted to try in the playground. I think we were done around 2:00. It’s no GG. I’d say it’s a little more stock friendly than GG. I keep hearing from them that they’re cutting 2 more trails that will be blue+. Maybe at that point it’ll be a full day property. I like it for what it is. It’s pretty close to home. The trails are well marked. It’s fine for a day out.

Awesome and I trust your opinion.
I like the it's not too far and a place to go part. I miss gg for that part.

Definitely easier than Gremlin for the most part. You do have to pay attention on the twisty trails to avoid kissing trees but otherwise a nice ride in the woods. Close to home is a huge plus too.
