Where:
When
it came time to choose a location for the Anniversary, consideration
was given in to what location would offer the most to our
enthusiasts.
Wellsville
Ohio, Attica Indiana and Harlan Kentucky were all considered. The
problem was that there is nothing else there. They would be good
trail ride areas, but nothing to do in the evenings and nothing for
our users who don't go off-road. We don't want this to be looked at
as just a trail ride.
After
careful consideration, Pigeon Forge Tennessee was chosen. This
area is a major vacation destination and numerous car & truck
clubs and event organizers have chosen it in the past for shows and
club gatherings.
If
you're going to be traveling, and for some this may be their
vacation, this is a great area to go both for things to do and see.

Will Be Happening:
Thursday
& Friday Trail Rides at the Coal Creek (Windrock) 72,000 acre
OHV area.
