Best places to go offroad in America but are you and your 4-wheeler ready?

This is a great-big, beautiful country and it

would be a shame if you didn't take your
4-wheeler offroad in America to see that
beauty.

America is a large country. A beautiful country. “From sea to shining sea,” it offers an abundance of natural vistas and adventures. And if you like to venture out from McCullom Lake, there are a number of off-road destinations for you to consider.

Here are a few of the most fantastic locations to attract the off-roader inside of you:

Upper Peninsula, Michigan

Upper Peninsula offers a lot. You’ve got hundreds of miles of trails from the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in the South, miles and miles of trails through pines and cedars, beaches on both sides of the peninsula and the Tahquarmenon Water Falls. And you’ve got plenty of places to stop and camp.

Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota

Off-roading in the Black Hills of South Dakota offers an adventure with no end. You’ll find hundreds of miles of landscape to challenge the most ardent lover of the off-road experience. The Black Hills National Forest includes a panorama that spreads out over 13,000 acres. And when you park your 4-wheeler, you can enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities from fishing to hiking and horseback riding, not to mention all the wildlife you’ll see.

Bald Eagle State Forest, Pennsylvania

If you think Black Hills National Forest is immense, check out Bald Eagle State Forest. You’ll find it in five counties of Pennsylvania as it sprawls across nearly 200,000 acres of natural splendor. In the midst of nature’s beauty, you’ll find off-road roads and trails that you can explore for days.

These are just a few of the best spots for off-roaders, whether you’re coming from McCullom Lake or anywhere else America. Of course, there are more – many more. These were found on the holidays.com Website, along with others. But there are other Websites to check out and other adventure spots you can explore.

Of course, there is one common factor wherever you take your 4-wheeler; you’ll want to make sure it’s up to the task.

Some of the spots you’ll find, as gorgeous as they are, can also prove a serious test for your off-road champion. You really want to make sure your 4-wheeler is ready before you dive deep into the wilds of the Black Hills or Bald Eagle.

While making sure that your vehicle is ready, you also want to bring the proper supplies for yourself, such as:

First-Aid Kit
Food and Water
Shovel
Flashlight
Blankets and Extra Clothing
Necessary Tools for Automotive Repairs

Is your antifreeze safe from freezing this Richmond winter

You still have time to have it checked Well, there’s no denying it – winter tends to get chilly here in Richmond. We have to deal with snow and ice on the roads, scraping the same off our windows and windshield, and staying warm while we drive. Of course, you had your antifreeze checked before winter rolled into town. What?! You didn’t have your antifreeze checked before winter clamped down on Richmond? So, how’s your antifreeze doing? If you haven’t had it checked, there’s really no way of knowing, is there? This car has overheated in the middle of a Richmond winter. But, on the other end of the spectrum, the antifreeze can also freeze if it's not up to its job. Hopefully, you haven’t had a serious problem with your antifreeze already. If you did, you’d probably know. When antifreeze fails, it’s a potentially catastrophic condition for your vehicle’s engine. You could have hoses that have burst because of freezing antifreeze. Worse than that, your engine block may have crac...

Blocks of ice falling from cars in McHenry could cause accidents or damage

We’ve all seen those blocks of snow falling from behind the rear tires of a car when the snow rolls into McHenry . Fortunately, they’re just packed snow that will disintegrate under your vehicle’s tires as you simply drive right through them, right? Don’t count on it. Those blocks of snow are often packed so tight, condensed by the thaw-and-freeze cycle, that they’re anything but oversized snowballs . They’re often more like boulders. Hit one of those blocks and the collision between the block and one of your tires could send you careening off the road or into oncoming traffic. In some cases, they’re so solid you could pound them with a sledgehammer with little effect. They truly can represent a serious road hazard. The problem is that it’s difficult to tell how solidly they’re packed when you see them on the road, left their unwittingly by another driver. Either way, your best bet is to try to avoid them. But you want to be careful dodging blocks of ice in the road, too. You need...

October 20 Hootenanny will benefit veterans with PTSD

Been to a Hootenanny lately? When you read that question did you ask, “What?” Well, if you have gone to a Hootenanny in a while, or if you don’t know what a hootenanny is, we have an event for Oct. 20 that will clear up either question. From 6 p.m. to Midnight, Saturday, Oct. 20, MC3, the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce business networking group, is helping to host an inaugural Veterans R&R Wild Horse Hootenanny at Beyond Stable Farm (11129 Rte. 176, Woodstock). The event will benefit Veterans R&R Operation Wild Horse. Operation Wild Horse serves veterans with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Working with the horses has proven to have an incredibly calming effect on the veterans. And, it’s good for the horses, too, rescued wild mustangs. This means that the hootenanny is for a very good cause. But, it’s also a lot of fun. So, what is a hootenanny? According to a Google search, a hootenanny is “an informal gathering with folk music and sometimes dancing.” The V...
