Also interested in a get together. Definitely looking for a regular place to go - I've been up to the Pipeline a few times (Nicolet National Forest, about 3 hrs north of Madison, WI), but last year they shut off a section, because the 'actual' gas pipeline surfaced due to erosion. Also, a friend of mine was up there a couple months ago, and he said it looks like other sections are being shut off. Bummer... I just rebuilt the winch on my LR3, and need to get it stuck! Email is rovernev@gmail.com

The Pipeline and surrounding area is pretty much a total bust now. Was up there in February for some winter wheeling and it turned into the Tour of Fences. There were about 4-5 of the regular fun spots/trails that had been fenced off with chain link. Until they get that park opened in Forest Co I don't see much reason to go in that area.

There is a Midwest Rover Rally in Indiana this May.
Details here:

Yeah, pretty bummed about the Pipeline getting shut down - This was my first experience off-roading, and the stock Range Rover HSE with standard tires did an amazing job, according to those with vehicles that were more 'modified' for that terrain. I will never forget the good (and scary) times I had up there.

I found out about the Midwest Rover Rally a week or so ago - There's a good chance I will be going. I actually need to be near Cincinnati, Ohio, during that week, and the event is basically half way home (Madison, WI).

I will make a decision within the next week or so.

Sorry Everybody.

I'm not going to be able to make it next weekend... I was away all of last week, away again this week, and away next week...

Please keep me in mind if you're planning trip in June or July - I will happily travel about 4hrs from Madison, WI, and I'm happy in any terrain (water, mud, sand, rocks, or a combo).

Also good with tent camping if we need to get off the grid.
