I ran across a link to this event on Facebook. No affiliation, but sharing the info here in case anyone is interested. I signed up to go.

Here's the description from their Eventbrite page:

The Overland Emergency Response Network has teamed up with Blue Ridge Expeditions to offer attendees a workshop that will focus on vehicle recovery. Attendance will be limited to 48 people who will then be broken into 4 groups of 12 that will rotate between 4 stations whose focus is outlined below. Arrival will be on Friday after 3pm, Saturday will involve a full day of training, and Sunday will involve a debrief and departure. Camping will be included in the price along with a raffle ticket.

• Winching 101
• Hi Lift Intro
• Vehicle Recovery
• Ham Radio Introduction

I've heard that the flats is an awesome park. Wish I could make this.

Just got an email from the event coordinators saying that they're rescheduling the event, likely to sometime late next March.
