There are a few good trails to the tree stands I've found, lotta holes and nothing too technical. Supposedly down near the campsites theres more, I havn't hit 'em yet though...F Blackstone! I feel you man, that place will suck out your will to live if your stuck there long enough!

Yeah, it's there if you sniff around, theres a bunch of trails, some of which were roads back in the '40s-'50s near the RTI area of of West Parade (?) with some mud holes and there's great trails out off of the range roads, you can access some of them if you come in off of RT 40, but if you have a pal there, maybe you can go in the regular way on post. If you pass the main gate on Rt 40, leaving Blackstone, a few miles down (near the airfield) on the left, there is a pulloff to an open end of post with alot of good trails in the woods that I've taken my Jeep on, some are to tough for my "stocker" ride height though. We've run HMMVW and HMMET (?sp) off road drivers training courses back there, lot's of fun spots to play.
