Unfortunately no. We are open to suggestions for difficult seasonal roads that anyone may know of. The seasonal roads and dirt roads we did find are twisty, scenic and have a wide variety of elevations. The pat pat made it through everything, but my near-worn-out wheel bearings are closer to worn-out wheel bearings after the ride due to the dirt roads.

That would open it up a bit.  No 4WD needed?  Bring your \'vette, or your Yugo, or whatever...

no 4wd needed, but it\'s way cooler :)

Pat Pat does have all wheel drive, and we used it on one road, but we that road won\'t be on the trip because it dead ended and was short.

Due to the size of the group we have so far, Lets all plan to pack a lunch for the day.
We have scouted out a nice quiet lunch spot in Naples. It has a porta potty, a few picnic tables, and plenty of dog walking space.

As far as difficulty...
The route we have mapped out consists of as many seasonal roads as possible. Although they are drivable without 4WD, they are still dirt and stone.

I will be at the race but Sara, the kids and possibly my mom are thinking of coming.. I installed a CB in her Liberty last night to help communicate with the pack.

Hi, I live in the Buffalo area and would like to participate in your Autumn Adventure if the wife doesn\'t have other plans for me. Is it closed to members only? I\'m fairly new to Jeeping and haven\'t found much in my area. Thanks!

Mike

Yes it does sound fun and i\'m sure the views will be very beautiful. My wife has to work this sunday which means i cant make it. I mean i can but whats the point of bringing two boys who will be driving me crazy all day, dad i thought we were going wheeling, this isn\'t wheeling, when are we going to get to the trails? Since we moved here, the majority of our trips have been to go wheeling, so no matter what i tell them, they have come to the conclusion if we are in the jeep for a long drive, there will be wheeling involved. Mike i\'m also in the buffalo area and you are right there isn\'t much in this area. There are a couple of places within a couple of hours and quite a few at the 4 hour range. Drop me a line if you want to know more.

MJTharding...
The ride is open to the public, and will definetly be worth the drive from Buffalo. Even more exciting if you are not from the area. The route we have planned will take advantage of some amazing views of the hills and valleys in the area.

I\'ve lived in the fingerlakes for 21 years and I still love going for drives to see the sights. There always seems to be something I missed the last time .

Jimish...
You need rear TV\'s so the kids can play video games.

Smike... You gonna plate the Buggy? LOL
 Cold ride!
