I'll add a little more to cody's explanation. Everything he said is correct. Also, there will be 700 vehicles at this years event. They are broken up into groups of 10 by trail difficulty. Each group is lead by a volunteer trail guide that is very familiar with the park. When you register, you'll be prompted to choose a trail guide/trail level. Hardest part is choosing which level is right for your experience, vehicle, and confidence as a driver. Also take into account your distance from home if you're not trailering your rig. Unfortunately, things can break no matter how easy you take it. Running harder trails just increases that risk.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me. I'm local to the park, and this will be my 5th Topless for Tatas event, 3rd as a trail guide.

What setup are you running? Do you have a lot of armor and lockers? Some blacks aren't too bad, but some can get pretty serious. Not all the hard obstacles will have bypasses.

 

Thanks Mike. You fellas have cleared it up for me, it's an 8 hr trek for me so as much as I enjoy a good challenge, I also enjoy making home at the end of the day. Hope to see yall there

 

Good to hear, it's 3-4 hours for me and Andy, and we would prefer to drive back rather than trailer them back so we're sticking to green/blue this go around. Hope to see you there as well

 

Just signed up! Can't wait to go!

 

I think the hardest part is waiting the next few months till it gets here!!!! Anyone wanting green/blue. Mike is an awesome guide!!!

 

I second this, the family run was a great time!

 

Awesome glad you're making it, hopefully in 4WD this time. That was awesome you making it through the day last trip stuck in 2WD. You couldn't have had better weather for it, but hey you made it!

 

Definitely, I forget exactly who was directly behind me on the trail, but they sure had some entertainment lol. What TFT group are you in?

 

That wasn't a bad thing, we thought it was awesome. Unless Cody can remember I'd have to double check our TFT group. I was in panic mode to make sure I got a spot and just picked a group. We'll definitely meet up during the weekend though. I'm trying to camp but convincing the girl to sleep in a roll bar hammock has been a losing battle haha.
