Two years ago I offered a free 4 wheeling basics class at Prairie City OHV park.

The only cost was the $5 bucks or so to get in.

The class includes:

A walkthrough of what I carry in my jeep when I wheel and why.
A discussion on upgrades, what I did and why.
We will then head over to the 4WD area and run the easiest of the man-made hills.
We will then discuss spotting, why a driver chooses certain lines when rocks are in front them.
We will discuss winching, cable vs. rope, and when to winch and when to strap.

The group will then get to practice much of this on the harder hills in the area.
We will then have some open exploration time.

All the while participants can ask any questions they have, and myself or my volunteer friends will try to get them answered.

Any thoughts on this? Some volunteers would be a great help too!

We will be there also due to the chainsaw class being cancelled.  I can help Brad in whipping all ya'll into shape with my cheerleading megaphone and Guy can learn.  clown

Brad, I had mentioned that I would do the food for the gang, but it looks like I might be off the hook.  Dave - if you do bring the main course, let us know and we all chip in for sides and drinks!!

Now will Prairie City have a mall obstacle setup so Greg can teach everyone how to pick lines or parking spaces? And how to avoid curbs and pedestrians. Maybe even traffic jam recovery techniques!!

Hey everyone Dave and I will be doing our BBQ together on Saturday to fulfill our membership status. We have decided to do Burgers and Hot Dogs for the main dish. We will be providing:

  • burger patties
  • hot dogs
  • buns
  • ketchup
  • mayo
  • mustard
  • relish
  • sauerkraut
  • tomato
  • onion
  • lettuce
  • cheese

If we could get a head count on who will be attending and what potluck items they will bring that would be great.

Hope to see you guys there.
