Jeep Jamboree
are the jeep Jamboree's worth the money? I was thinking about doing one but they are so expensive. especially since I live within 3 hours of most of the events and could do the trails on my own. what do they offer?

In short YES! Everyone should attend at least one for the experience. Incredibly well organized, excellent trails and guides, etc. We went to the Maine one last year and signed up agin for this year. Hope to add VT to next year's agenda.

My wife and I attended the Moab Jeep jamboree last year. Great time. Worth every penny. We have signed up for Ouray, Co and Moab this year. I see the greatest benefit as having a guide who can lead me through an area I have never been to before. A guide who can spot for me and I trust to do the spotting. We will not become lost. We will always get home off the trail since we have others with us. All this makes Good Wife very comfortable with new places which then allows investigating the area later on our own or with others from the group.
The food is good and the commaraderie is great.
A ticket to Circ du Soleil was $100 plus each. Great show but not as good as the Jamboree. Circ was less than 2 hours. Ticket to Universal studios was $100 each. Got to do four rides before the heat got us. That was 4 hours waiting in line for 4 minute rides. If you think the cost of the Jamboree is too high, consider what you spend your disposable cash on and put it in perspective. $500 for 2 full days of good times. That is a bargain in my book.
