I may or may not be able to be a passenger to the first event, depending on if I'm still at this base at the time, and if I have the liberty to go.
but I live north of chicago and don't know how to get there, and dont have a jk. i'd have to be a camera man passenger/ spotter/ winch setter.

I have an open seat if you want to ride with us. I am not far from the Chicago area. I am in NW Indiana. You could ride down with us if you want or just drive to the badlands and then ride with us there on the trails. Just let me know.

I would be sure to bring stuff to keep their attention (books, Ipod, etc.) and snacks, as I found that some of the wait time to check the trails, or help someone thru a tough spot can get "boring" for kids.......

The first time I took my youngest son on a Jeep trip he was 9, we went on an overnight two day run of Land Between the Lakes KY - very beautiful place. Stayed in a cabin, taught him not to try to approach black bear cubs (after he already tried), and he was hooked on offroad from then on. He is now 16 and wants to lift and tire the ZJ so he can "drive" when we go out. I see a future JK owner in the making.

Bring along a camera your boys can use also. Have them take as many pics as they can. That might keep them interested for a while. If they are like my boys were, they'll be fighting over the camera.
