Northeast Runners Meetup

[Annoyed]

No, Paragon is closed. There was a pretty big effort to keep the place running but there was too much money and highly corrupt politics on the side that shut them down.

The pic in my avatar was taken at Paragon.

Bummer. I understand the reasons, though. The Northeast part of the U.S. has a very heavily liberal/blue state mentality, and as such, government policies are heavily influenced by the environmental whack jobs. As such, it's damned tough to find any legal place to do off-roading.

Back around 2000, when I had purchased a Tacoma, I looked into trying to find some places like Pismo or other OR areas in this part of the country, but no luck. There actually used to be a NY chapter of TTORA (Toyota Territory Off-Roader's Association) but it collapsed. No doubt the lack of places to actually go off-road legally around here was a contributing factor.
