Ok Guys I got permission to allow overnight camping for the rally, so if you are interested in staying overnight please message me directly so I have a general head count.

Also I am working on putting together about a 2 hour trail ride that we could try to do, start at the brewery around 11:30am and return around 1:30pm. Once i have the details I will post them.

Thanks for putting this together. Would I be ok for the ride in a stock 2018 JLU Sahara?

I am trying to get one of the local jeep groups to put the ride together. I would yes. There really aren't too many bad trails, the worst thing we have are deep puddles and in most cases you can get around them.

No worries, Maybe you could take the trail down to here it actually only runs a few miles from the brewery. I am trying to get permission to allow overnight camping from the airport and take the trail back the next day. I completely understand, this is the first time we are trying to do something like this. Got to start somewhere.

Yeah I know where the trail runs, I created it. Lol. I’m out for overnight camping.
 
I’ll be there tomorrow. I’ll have a brand new in the box, never opened CampChef Rainier stove with me for sale if anyone is interested. I’ll take $80 for it, it’s originally $110-$120 brand new online. I decided to go a different route for my camp kitchen.

Depends on when you arrived. That storm came in quickly. Almost got caught out in a trail during it. The trail ride before was nice, dusty af, but nice.

Found some good side trails that were spurs off the main ride in the morning that a few of use went back to. Got into some pretty good mud and some decent water.

Thanks to @PGSIMMONS2 for putting this together.

Got there at 2. There was a few jeeps and nobody else really.
 
At about 2:30pm, when we got back from the trail run, the parking lot was pretty full. The BBQ guy had a non-stop line of customers for about an hour. Fun time. Tasty food. Nice folks. Thanks to Paul for organizing this.

I saw your rig pulling in as I was leaving, but it was later than 2:30..
 
@PGSIMMONS2 ... Thank you for offering up you're locale & putting this together. It was a pleasure to shake your hand & I wish you the best!
The event was not a bust, I feel it was well attended & yes, it was heavy on the Jeep side, let's remember we're all brothers & sisters, no matter what we drive. We're all for safe & responsible stewards for open access to our open spaces. Its great that we could gather as like minded individuals to achieve a common goal!

@PGSIMMONS2 Thanks for putting this together and it was great meeting you and everyone else for the first time yesterday! It was awesome to see ppl w/ different 4x4s get together and hang and go for a ride. The different setups were inspiring and now have lots of ideas for the Jeep haha.

I recorded the route we took in the AM on runkeeper here, and the .gpx tracks can be downloaded from this saved route.
I also have gopro dashcam from our ride and sweet footage of a silver Jeep w/ NY plate in front of me (3rd from last, I was 2nd from last) playing in the mud that I'll put together soon.
