The 101-201 is filling up!
This is a great set of classes for the new to off-road crowd all the way up to those with lots of experience.
Off-Camber Crawlers does not charge for the class, however The Cove does charge camping/land use fees.
Sign up for a full weekend of learning and wheeling!

Less then a month away
SOme of the GUys from MPJAI are headed up there this weekend to get with John Hunt and getting the Trail marking project underway. MPJAI has a plan to make and mount trail signs that name the trail and its difficulty.
AT the MOR we had some ppl take a lvl 10 trail down which quickly got them in trouble
Luckily the only damage was some steering and a wheel bead. I was shaking for a good 20minutes afterwards
