makes it?, How much did it cost?, What modifications did you have to make to get it to fit your truck?. How hard was it to install? What problems did you
encounter? etc, etc...)

I'm from Portland, right outside middletown. There's some pretty good trails out by me. Nothing that your truck would get stuck in most likely, though

We go out in Portland fairgrounds, its the only place my truck's been offroad but there's some sick sh*t out there. We've seen a lot of extractions out there, worst stuck I ever saw was an f1 with 36's. He went out with 5 or so friends and every one either waterlogged or broke an axle (they didn't have a dodge). But my dakota makes it out there pretty good. Some good mud in the summertime, especially after a heavy rain.

A bunch of guys on Dodge Truck World are trying to get a trip together to Paragon over Memorial Day weekend. They’ve extended an open invitation to anyone who would like to go. Any takers?

Your truck would be OK. Just need to make sure you have a few things as required by Paragon. Fornt and rear tow hooks. Full size spare, pull strap, etc. Here is the link to the thread on DTW with more details. http://tinyurl.com/3qt6j
Monday May 30th in Memorial Day and I'll be there definitely. I drove up to Salem NH today and met up with a few of the guys from the MA Chapter of Dodge Truck World. Looks like were going to have a pretty decent size group for Paragon from the response we’ve been getting. I think 25-30 trucks will not be difficult to achieve. Most look fairly stock, so if anyone is concerned about Trail difficulty, it looks like the majority of the guys will be running easier to moderate trails. Plus with that many people, if anyone gets stuck, there will be plenty of people to help you out so don’t be to concerned. Just one thing...don't come unprepared... EVERYONE needs tow hooks front AND rear. For a rear hook, if you have a hitch look into either a hook or a D ring mount (d-ring is preferable). Also...NO ONE bring a tow strap with hooks or a chain. Only bring tow straps with sewn in LOOPS on BOTH ends. A strap and hooks are minimum requirements for Paragon’s equipment check at the gate.
At the moment the plan is it arrive early enough to be at Paragon first thing Saturday morning. That will give us two full days in the park with Monday to deal with any problems if any should arise. Many of us are planning on heading down on Friday and camping out @ Mt. Pocono Campground http://www.mtpoconocampground.com, so that will be an option if anyone wants to join us. But I know some wont be able to head out on Friday. If not, you can meet us at the park either or both days. Just let us know if your coming/not coming so we can wait accordingly. We should be able to give more details of the GTG come mid-late April There are also hotel accommodations in the area, the Paragon website has a partial list of what’s available in the area. You’ll be on your own to arrange a hotel it that your preference.

Thanks Walt. I will definately try to make it. Always wanted to go there and this seems like a great chance. By the way are theyre any good trails out your way? My father and I have a foundation bissness and we did a couple of house's out your way ( East Granby and West Hartland) and it looked like theres lots of potential out that way.Theres some pretty good trais over here in Unoinville.
