July 20, Saturday – Work and Wheel at The Homestead. This member owned Private Property in Hebron, NH is a fantastic property that has awesome 4WD terrain, rich historical significance and fantastic accommodations for camping.  Wheeling here is similar to driving on the moon if it had trees – most of the trails are on solid rock and the potential to develop trails on the property is FANTASTIC. With a couple days of trail work, we can have a very intense days of rock crawling suitable for 33s and a locker or winch or any stock Rubicon or Bronco on 35s.  Camping is allowed on the property to help with the commute – and the camping amenities are awesome, too! There’s a fantastic area to gather, cook and enjoy the evening.  There’s also some very popular sightseeing opportunities and tourism stops!

And bats.  We are able to do local Class VI escapes so we don’t end up IN the witch’s brew, long distant trips to escape the screaming of the lost souls and wheeling on the property to mingle with the vampires.  Decorated rigs and costumes are encouraged!  More information and questionaires will be sent to members.
