Default Jeep Jamboree

What are your thoughts on the 2014 Jeep Jamboree? Thinking about doing the Texas Spur in March. Have not had a lot of crawling experience and thought this would be a good chance with some good guides. Little pricey though.

Wich one in KY? I have been to both. The same trail guides run both. Gateway to the Cumberlands, in Williamsburg, is the best one, as far as I am concerned.

The Land Between The Lakes, to be fair, it rained one inch per hour when I was there. The food was very good though.

Jeep Jamborees are fun if you get with the right group.

The Cumberlands trip is nice for a beginner. I went last year with my wife. It's a good, safe, learning environment. An experienced jeeper may find it too tame or expensive. Many of the east coast jamborees are in parks that are accessible anytime for considerably less money.

Land Between the Lakes makes more sense from a timing perspective. I'm in OH and my son is leaving for the military in June and I was looking for something for the two of us to do together before he ships out.
