Rally
New England Forest Rally is no more. The Errol Northwoods Rally will hopefully replace it some year. For now there is STPR, headquartered in Wellsboro, PA and Gravel Trial events at the Team O'Neil Driving School in Dalton, NH for events in the northeast that need ham radio and other volunteers. Click here for the Gravel Trial event dates and links to volunteer at the bottom of the pages for each event.
