I hope that we can plan events so all of you can join.
Even though I live in CA I think we can plan some good events that many of the Raptor family can join:
* Well planned + advance notice
* Sightseeing + family friendly pit stops (Vegas, beaches, group camping)
* Vendors / Off road shops participation-- mods, products and knowledgeable peers
* Three to four day event
* Organizing co-drivers + convoys from major cities
* Ridealongs and demos for beginners
* Free stuff -- stickers, shirts, sponsored drinks or food
* Off-road trail riding expeditions -- during the days of the events and with different experience levels
Seems like there are a few runs that are ongoing in 2014 that might fit some of these requirements but there is always room to add to them ( and I'd be more than willing to help organize/get events together)
If you're like me....this would be a family vacation worth spending timexmoneyxeffort on.
