Same issue with side by sides out west, spend a few years working for the US Forest service. Definitely ready to get back up after mud season, learned my lesson last spring going out some trails in May and almost sinking immediately to the frame.Yes, Monson Abbot, & Moosehead have all been bought up by people "from away"! They are turning it into an artsy, fartsy, treehugging commune and posting everything up. The side by sides have become such a nuisance that they changed the laws banning the use of them in alot of areas. They are also allowing Jeeps back on the "jeep trails" that the atvs took over. If ever in Monson' Spring Street Barbecue is an absolute must stop. Geez you can smell it for miles and it is delicious!
