Where we wheel....Haspin Acres, is where most of the wheeling has been happening, not a bad place, as long as its dry, can you say body damage?! That and with current gas prices, one can make it to and from on a tank of gas.Good for a weekend to hang out , test mods etc... Its the closest to the Cincy area at about an hour (give or take). Mostly dry dirt some good climbs (more fun when wet!), can get ridiculously muddy too!!! See Links section for links to the area.Slade County, Ky, Sure does seem to have a lot to offer. The spot we went to is in the Daniel Boone Forest in Natural Bridges back pocket. It was nice, good old Ky sandstone, awesome scenery and trails all to ourselves, we will return. Dillsborough, some private land of a friend mostly a few quick runs, lasting a few / several hours. Kenny is always working to add new trails. Some creeks and trails within an hour away, good to get to if a late start in the day or just wanting to mess-around for a few hours.We used to wheel a place in Kentucky, mile marker 49 - Livingston. but it has been shut down, now there has always been a catch or loop hole, supposedly if your licensed and insured your legal, as long as your not on private property.Livingston was about a two and half hour drive. Great area, main trails are "logging" roads so not too difficult, some rocks to climb, and so a little more tricky obstacles with some off camber action as well. Many of the early years pics are from there. Kentucky Outback Park, aka Xtremeterrain, or Vanceburg. About at the hour and a half mark, located in Vanceburg, KY. The park is not officially open yet, but it has a lot rock (rock garden), off camber and creek bed trails. With new trails being added all the time. SeeLinks section for links to the area
Toyota 4Runner
Jon G. Snaeland is one of the most active 4 wheelers in Iceland. He is in the board of the Icelandic 4x4 club and owns this "slightly" modified Toyota 4 Runner. The 4Runner is fully equipped to handle the most demanding terrain and is supported by a set of 44 inch Dick Cepec tires.Jon is commonly known as "Ofsi" which translates literally into "Fury" - even though he is quite the opposite once you get to know the man. His last name is perhaps more fitting since it means "Snowland" - and that's where he's most often found. Jon has in fact written two books about 4 wheeling routes all around Iceland.

Toyota Takeover
The easy run had well over 30 rigs on the Achy Breaky trail. Even with a large group, the pace was good, and trail traffic flowed well. Achy Breaky's route isn't marked; it's a medley of stand-alone trail segments. Stock rigs are likely to suffer, but bypass lines can be taken around the worst obstacles.
