GENESEE COUNTY -- Forget the roast turkey and pumpkin pie. Come Thanksgiving morning, hundreds of hardcore off-road enthusiasts will be chewing up rocks and spitting out mud at the Mounds ORV Area in the heart of mid-Michigan.

The 370-acre Genesee County Parks facility offers the Lower Peninsula's only public ORV rock crawl, squat in the middle of an off-roader's paradise of wooded trails, mud pits and scramble areas.

The popular playground is open daily and regularly draws off-roaders from across the Great Lakes region.

But Thanksgiving has become its biggest day of the year, drawing a typical crowd of nearly 500 vehicles by early afternoon.

The Thanksgiving event is also home to an annual charity drive for the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, with visitors donating cash and nonperishable food items at a warming tent hosted by the What Lies Beyond Jeep Club.

YAY!!!  ::woot::  ::woot::

Just placed an order for a set of the Treadwright Puma A/T Tires.  They will be for my ZJ.  They are BFG All-Terrain Re-Treads.  

BFG ATs in the same size from Discount Tire's website run $185.00 each, so that's $740 for a set of 4 before shipping (or taxes if in store).  They Puma A/Ts are on sale right now from Treadwright for $77.00 each.  I paid $333.34 shipped to my door.

I can't wait to see how they work out!  Here is a great picture I found of them, as you can tell, they are even branded BFG A/T until you look at the lip.  

I am going to keep track of the mileage I get as far as wear goes and also see how they perform in the rain/snow.

Stay tuned for a review!

Once again, the What Lies Beyond Jeep Club will be set up in the Pavilion at the Mounds on Thanksgiving Day collecting canned food and money to help the Eastern Michigan Food Bank!  


Last year we  collected a whopping 300Lbs of food!  

With each dollar raised, the Eastern Michigan Food Bank can buy $14 worth of food for families in need!  

So if you plan on doing some Thanksgiving Day Wheeling, drop by the Pavilion at the Mounds and help us help families in this desperate time!  

Oh! and we will have hot coffee and coco, as well as some goodies to munch on!





THANK YOU!

Anyone interested I am planning on heading to Silver Lake the 5th - 7th of Aug.  I plan on camping (if I can find a spot my next paycheck).  I will know more about it later this week into next...

Happy Birthday!!

Vote Today! Help Michigan State Parks Earn Free Trees

In the Odwalla juice company's 2010 Plant a Tree campaign, state of Michigan employees helped to push our state into the top spot for the second consecutive year – capturing more than $45,000 worth of free trees that will help repopulate areas of state parks that were hardest hit by invasive species. Our parks need your help – and votes – again in 2011, to make it three in a row!

Odwalla's Plant a Tree program is in its fourth year and will be available in all 50 states. Voting has just gotten under way and time is critical. Last year, states competed for $200,000 in free tree money; this year, that pool is reduced to $100,000. Please visit the website and vote for a tree to be planted in Michigan. One vote equals $1 toward free trees in Michigan state parks. Spread the word to your family, friends, co-workers and anyone who cares about the health and sustainability of Michigan's natural resources.

Please visit http://www.odwalla.com/plantatree today and lend your support to Michigan state parks. Your vote makes all the difference!

Fun idea from another forum...

Add a picture, IN Numerical Order, 1...2...3...etc.

The picture must show the # that is next in line.

I am working on a social network for the off road community, and I think i'm ready for the testing stage. I figure I would post it on the forum, giving users a chance to test it....

If you would be interested in helping me test, check out the link below.

Oh, and I hope no one minds the link to WLB in the information section at the bottom, if so, speak up and I will remove it.


Let me know what you think,

Thanks!
