“You can watch as much as you want on YouTube or anywhere else, but actually doing it and having experienced professionals walk you through things is where you learn so much more. It was an awesome venue with varied terrain. I was shocked at what my truck could do (only to find out these were the easy trails). Whether you are renting one of their rigs or bringing your own, you’ll learn a lot. The bug has bitten me (not the ones from the woods which bit me too) and I can’t wait to get offroad again. Go get your 4×4 dirty, highly recommended.” – Quest, May 2025
