I'm just due East of the Rochester Metro but still in Monroe county on the South shores of Lake Ontario just North of the Webster village center. I went to school out West and have a daughter who goes to Moab each year. I traded in the 2011 Grand Cherokee limited for a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk last week. So far I love the vehicle although miss some of the techno perks of the WK2 limited.
My TH is Mango tango. My Lava Shark. I still barely have over 200 miles on the machine.
There are amazing trails around the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier that have roads that aren't maintained by stage, county or towns that are great for trail driving. It's not rock climbing or anything but challenging nonetheless. Plenty of places across the border in Ontario and down in the Alleghenies in PA.
It would be nice to get to know others jeep people that enjoy trail driving. Oswego is a place we drive through every Summer in route to the East side of Lake Ontario. Have looked at and am still considering as a place to send my daughter to in 2 years. I've lived in Brockport but that was 20 years ago. I've been in state for the past 10. I grow Riesling grapes in a backyard micro vineyard. I know the FL region well as 20 years back I managed home healthcare and oxygen to the areas West of Seneva Falls down past Dansville and almost East towards Lockport. Plenty of challenging driving and fun to be had.
For now I basically try to survive Winters as I get very nocturnal.
This is my ride with old weather package. Looking to upgrade the lighting to LED or HID. RR O rock slider/rails and front bumper with brush guard will come later.
What shall we have? An '82 Margaux! Is it any good? Good....?, It will make you believe in God!
