Title: 2016 Overland & 4x4 Adventures / Event ideas!
Post by: ebewley on February 07, 2016, 12:29:46 PM

ZUKIWORLD Enthusiasts - It's time (maybe past time) to get the 2016 adventuring started. We've certainly got some ideas but are wondering what you would like to see/do this year?

Let's hear it. What'd ya got?

What about a "hot springs" tour?  Lots of good rural hot springs in Oregon. 
Maybe something similar with dry lakebeds?  Ghost towns?  Abandoned mines?  Waterfalls?

How about a SWAPPED MEET for anyone who has swapped out part of their Zuk, seats, motors, transmissions, axles, etc., or those who want to.

I just got back from a week running the trails around Moab, Utah.  There's something for everyone there from easy to EXTREMELY difficult. More of a springtime, fall ride though, it gets pretty toasty in the summer.  Some of the most beautiful country you will ever see.

I stumbled across this website the other day, mostly west coast stuff and a few good possibilities in Oregon:

And I found this route that covers from Oregon to British Columbia http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/WABDR (http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/WABDR).  I know some of the areas that this passes through, and it would be easy to modify route to run a trail in Rimrock, or even Moon Rocks areas.  This would have to be more of a summer trip, as snow levels are hard to predict.

ANYONE OUT HERE IN THE MIDWEST ??

For Shits & Giggles, I signed up for the "Jeepblitz" in Bushnell, Illinois April 15-17th, 2016

I promised I would park off in our own area, not next to any Jeeps during the Show & Shine night, LOL

Will be bringing down the JUST finished rebuild of the Timber Cruiser, a 1987Sammy trail rig.
ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED ?????

Jeepblitz, sounds interesting... Will they allow non-Jeeps?

I must confess, I hadn't heard of this event. Has it been around for awhile? Big?

Eric,
This is a First Time event.
I probably got this event info/invite thru my local 4X4 association.
Yes NON J**ps are invited, but I'm sure the usual prejudices will be there
as the main sponsor is a Jeep aftermarket supplier.

I have NO FEAR.....I have showed them up before !!
Kansas Krawl, 2009   22 entries in Trails Class, one of only 7 FINISHERS
Rausch Creek, 2012 Only Non Jeep entered, one of 10 FINISHERS

So any others ?

Look up JeepBlitz online
