Question- b/c I snagged a VA4WD Fall Run ticket (just in case) and probably would have to pick between doing GER with you guys or doing Fall Run the next weekend (its 15-16th?): is Fall Run basically like dozens of vehicles all abilities / traffic jam doing one trail (jeep jamboree style)? In the OCC club someone described it sort of that way. I usually like smaller groups with mostly people who know what they’re doing. I can always sell the ticket.

Yep I believe it def can be a long line of rigs, occasional traffic jams, etc. depends on the trail guide sometimes but depends on a lot of factors. The spring event is better, good raffle, both more of an “event” than a wheeling day. Not many rocks…

I’m in for both GER 9/8-10 and Oakridge on 9/15-17.
I think VA4WDA’s September run is better because they have 100% control on the groups and trails compared to the Spring run which is shared with Wheelin4Hope.
With that said, there will be backups if any of the line leaders make a mistake on the trail, but VA4WDA had received alot of negative feedback on delays and have done a lot of training and comms improvements to minimize issues.
The raffle on Saturday night is awesome, with 3-5 sets of tires (35" and 37"), around 10 Warn winches, a couple of ARB fridges, and many other items.
They only have a few hard obsticles, but there are 5 nice water crossing and the trails are nice.
This is one of my favorite trail therapy trips!

I’d like to do both too but I think the big boss will deny that request.

@club_members This ride is cancelled at least for GER on this date. Management called and advised a horse event will have horses all over the trails and it will Not be enjoyable. Let’s head somewhere else, standby for now.
