I wasn't impressed this year. Again, they lacked organization. The people running the event acted like they did not want the jeeps there, same with the local pd, and mostly had no idea what they were doing. Idiots at the front gate at the fairgrounds kept trying to direct us to the spectators parking lot when we told them we were there to participate... Idiots, we had a cj10 on 38s, and a Jk and tj on 35s!

Trail rides were a joke. Took less than five minutes to make it through the hardest trail there, and didn't even spin a tire. Playground was ok, but mainly based for those who enjoy mud. The rocks were ok, but again, didn't even get hung up once or spin a tire, just walked right over them. I personally would have like to see something more challenging, especially considering how many advanced builds there were there that needed something harder.

Only good thing about it was the vendors, and even that wasn't much to write home about, aside from Mopar Underground being there. Best part about it for me was getting second place, seeing my Jk score an 888 on the rti ramp, and scoring some flat fenders on the ridiculous cheap, like about 80% off.

This event is good for people who are either just getting into jeeps, enjoy scavenger hunts, or love mud, which to me I do not see the draw of blasting through a mud hole with a solid bottom, only to ruin your jeep. If it had a challenge to it, like perhaps a soft bottom, it might have been interesting, but it was just lame and not worth the cleaning or possible damage. Bt hey, to each their own, as I'm sure there are those that do not understand people like me and the desire to drive over very large rocks.

Our 4 jeeps will not be going back next year. Just a waste of a weekend, and too far to drive to sit and do nothing the whole time. maybe one day when they get their act together and get organized.

Maybe I'll volunteer next year since most volunteers looked like they didn't want to be there.
