Have to check on when my son's basketball game is that morning. If I can make it there in time we'll bet there.

If we do a run that requires the sticker, it would be in my opinion up to the driver to worry about the sticker or not. We don't check our members for current drivers licesence, registration, or insurance. It's a requirement for the club in writing to aviod the Clubs being liable. We are a very easy going club to belong to. Not too many rules. We don't have 50+ members. It's a small group of family friendly people who go wheeling once a month and help each other fix/build stuff. We also meet once a month for a Meet & greet type thing as well.
I was wondering how you were getting around the sticker. We were going to do a run on our property in MA, but it would require the sticker for non members. Our pres Mike White is among those working to amend the law or find ways to benefit our interests better as off roaders.

Gonna see if I can get this day off from work.

Just to make sure I got it right...the meeting spot is in Somerset to drop off the toys and the trail ride is in Taunton?

I might have a couple of friends that may come along too. This is a great cause.

Man I wish I could go. I gotta break in my wife on this Jeepin stuff. She got pissed that I even asked to go. I'm going away with my buddies for our annual drinking/hunting/shooting weekend next week (the weekend of her birthday) and we have a club run the Saturday after Thanksgiving. She shot down the idea of the T4T run in two seconds flat! Guess I will try again next year. :(

Bring her with on the this run. It's not a crazy day. And you could just show up for the morning festivites at the drop off location maybe. You said it, it's a good cause. Should be easy to swing. It doesn't have to be an all day thing like the Poker run in NH is. You can easily bail out at any time from the fun run too. The 3 roads are not that long with pavement in between.

I'll see if she'll bite. If not I'll send a toy to you or Matt.

Sorry Tex, I have to back out. Turns out we are also doing a toy drive on the same day and will be on our private property so participants need the ORV sticker to run it. At least we are supporting the same cause together!

I was thinking about trying to get a HUGE group together this year. I had already heard of your run at the time. It's all good.
