I'm interested about the new location. A few other guys and I spoke to the TDS crew during the OffRoad Expo and it sounds like they will have an exclusive wheeling course open. This course will have all levels of difficultly and is placed on private land. Remember this is brought to you by the people who built Cross-Over Peak at Truckhaven so I am expecting some great action.

I understand there is also going to be a mud pit.

Normally? Friday some people gets there and pick out our spot and wheel Truckhaven. Saturday morning people run the TDS setup trail or their own trails. In the evening there is a big raffle you must attend to win followed by fireworks. The raffle consists of over 100 prizes worth over $1000 each. Sunday we wheel a bit more, cleanup, and roll out.

This year is different, with the new location, so who knows if we will do the usual routine.

So does that mean we need to drive all the way down there from camp for all the family stuff? I love to be able to go over about a quarter mile for the kids to play in the bouncy house!

The new site ( vendor row kids zone and all has minimal camping there but you can travel all by dirt it's about 5 miles away from the old site AKA truckhaven training facility
Hope this helps. I am sure that is where the majority of people will be camping
