This past week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ted Wiborn and his Adventure Abound team on their multi-month 25,000 mile journey to enjoy our great country. While I have had a number of Wranglers and other capable vehicles over the last 40 years this was my first visit to an ORV park. Hidden Falls Adventure Park delivered a wonderful opportunity for drivers of varied skill and willingness to push their rigs.
Coming to trail running having used our vehicles not for trail running, but for boondocking and backpacking I must admit I was a bit anxious. Most folks I know who trail run or rock crawl seem to have pride in how much abuse their rigs can stand. Knowing my views Ted guided my essentially stock JKUR on 33's in challenging ways successfully through obstacles I expected to leave part of the Jeep on. He showed the lines, explained why we were lining up and other than hitting my steps a time or two we left none of my Jeep at the park.
I cannot thank Ted enough for his patience and that of his awesome compatriots: Karla, Angie, Gary, and Bill for showing me how to properly use my tools to enjoy the technical challenges while respecting the outdoors in a way that left my vehicle ready for the road home after a day of ledges, creek beds, and rocky off camber climbs and descents.
If you haven't started to follow So It Begins: Michigan to the Mexico Border to Alaska and Back, Three JLUR and Campers you may want to. It is a great thread and they are Adventure Abound.
