Invite and info on an upcoming event:

Rock Hard Jeep Club will be hosting the 1st Annual Rock Hard Jeep Rally on August 13th (Sat) at Around the Bend Tavern in McCamey Texas. For those that don't know McCamey is located an hour south of Odessa-Midland or about 4 hours from San Antonio off I-10W.

Currently 3 live bands are booked for the day. There will be several events to enter including Jeep Show Contest, the 4th Annual Around the Bend Rib Eye Cookoff, washer tournament, and pool tournament.

Around the Bend Tavern has draft beer, bottle beer, camping, and fishing. Jeeps that can climb over a built up obstacle have access to VIP parking, everyone who can not make it over the obstacle can park in the regular parking lot. There are 3 RV parks in McCamey and 1 hotel. In the event the hotel is fully booked there are hotels in Rankin (15 miles) Crane (20 miles) and Iraan (30 miles)

I will post more events and information when I get it.
Any ideas anyone has for the Jeep Rally will be gladly appriciated!
I will answer any questions anyone may have.

Thanks and hope to see you there,
James Michael

I'm glad you point out Tread Lightly. Out club follows the advice of TreadLightly.org We bring it up in all our club meetings and review it before major trail outings. The pictures above were taken in a dry salt flat just west of McCamey. Wheeling in this area is granted to us by the land owners permission. He and our club know when and were we are allowed to wheel. We have full land owner permission to wheel in the dry salt flat. We are not destroying anything because nothing grows in the dry salt flat. The ruts we leave behind are dissolved back into the salt flat after every rain. The pictures above are in a designated wheeling area. Hopefully everyone who wheels is familiar with treadlightly.org. I recommend you check out the site: Tread Lightly - Home

The flier in the above post has been updated. We now have 5 bands playing and have added several more sponsors. Please take the time to look over the new updates and I encourage everyone to come out and have a good time with us!

We are still welcoming anyone interested in becoming a sponsor, setting up a booth at the event, or becoming a vendor.

Also, we now have access to the McDonald Ranch out by Girvin Texas (Just West of the Jeep Fest Event) This ranch has wheeling terrain from beginner to extreme. However the land owner charges $25.00 per rig. We may get a discount during the Jeep Fest but as of now it sits at $25.00.

We will still have access to the free wheeling area just west of the event and there will be obstacles at the event itself.

That sounds like a heck of a gig! It looks like a good time- lotsa' fun and we appreciate the invite, I won't make the drive from Oregon but if something like that was happenin' up here I would have to check it out!
