Welcome to SWMO! Welcome to the board, and welcome to the wonderful world of Jeeps!
There are several wonderful choices for wheelin in the area, most within about an hours drive from Springfield. The Southern missouri offroad ranch is the best place to go, but there are also some very good trails in the Mark twain natinal forest. Chadwick has some easy trails, near Cassville/Roaring river there are several gret trails, and even more in the glad top area. Flat and nasty offroad park is not to far away, and Disney OK is just a few short hours from here.
Tell us a little about your rig, and what kind of wheeling you like, and we will see you on the trails!
