Oh for sure....plenty to see and do without participating. Lots of vendors, food and exhibits for everyone. A must go to event for all Jeepers. And very well organized I might add. No need to pre-register unless you plan to participate, just pay admission fee at gate.

Thanks guys, we will take a ride up on Saturday and roam around. Oh and axendo, we may bring one or two of our huskies too... weather permitting of course. Riding home with wet, muddy stinking huskies isn't fun.

Unfortunately, I don't have my husky anymore. But you have my full sympathy for riding around with one after they get wet. Good luck getting the smell and hair out.

So Bantam is like a mall?

Larry, what do you mean you were out there last week and it was free? The festival is in June, and there is a lit more to do than walk around. And its at the mall.

Going to the mall was free.

These gatherings are money grubbing events. For that kind of money you can get a hotel at the Comfort Inn near Rausch Creek ($75), and pay for 2 days of fun on miles of trails. And the trails at Rausch would give you so much more fun. I've done these festival events in the past, they get old pretty quick. I think that they are awesome for the people that don't really go offroad and have basic Jeeps and want to go see what kind of things they can do. For people that frequently go into the wild, we know already.

I guess I just don't dig the atmosphere, and that does not intend to imply that no one does. Have fun. I'll see you at Wellsville, Rausch Creek or Colorado/Utah some time.

But isn't that like saying why pay to wheel in a park when there are miles upon miles of free terrain to play in...especially in Pa. I am certainly not against Rausch Creek,Wellsville or any other wheel park... Ben there, done that.... Just sayin'...
