On the way out of the park we stopped to
assist a couple guys with a blown out front tire on a
quad.
Mike's Jeep as well as My Yellow CJ-7 are equipped
with onboard air. Mike has both a York compressor
conversion and the ARB Air Locker Electric
compressor. I have the York Conversion as well.

It had a cracked rim and a good pinch cut
in the tire. We aired it up the best we could after
whacking the hell out of the rim with a hammer to get it
to seat the bead. Then they were on their way, at
least for a few more hundred feet of so. We offered
to follow and air them up until they got out but they
declined. Oh well, whatever...

The last stop before calling it a day
was Rubicon Lake and what's called the Play Area.
The Play Area is the bed of an old strip mine. This is a great place to have fun if you like wide open
spaces and the freedom to move around and do what you
want. There are tons of features in the
area to navigate and explore. Everything from
washed out trenches to hill climbs to an area to drop it
in 2WD and do a few donuts. There's even a few
places to get muddy if that's your thing. Just
stay out of Rubicon Lake. Its off limits and for
good reason. It'll eat your vehicle. the
water's edge drops off and you can't see the bottom even
at a few feet of water near the edge. Otherwise
the rest of the area is open season. This area is
a great place to regroup or wind down before heading
back to the staging area. Paragon Park is
fast becoming one of the best, well known Off Road destinations
in the Northeast U.S. They offer everything from
the mild to the wild for stockers to the Super modified
Rock Machines. If your considering a trip here,
visit their website
for more information about what they have to offer as
well as the rules of the park. |
