[QUOTE="DirtMonkey, post: 623091, member: 2435"] I should have posted some pics sooner…I’m still recovering from the first inaugural Trail Hero event and it was great. There were so many events and different activities going on, it was difficult to do and see everything. There was a large contingency of buggies present, definitely out numbering the full bodied crowd. I definitely noticed there were much less participants present than published estimates. I would say 300 participants tops, if I had to guess…An event of this magnitude is hard to organize and for the first one, I’d say it was a success. The 2 biggest issues were lack of information as far as times and location of events. Unfortunately one of the biggest issues we saw was the trail leaders on the trail rides not finishing what they started. All 3 days we signed up for, and on each run, the leader took off and left the back of the group to find their way on their own. We assisted on each and made a recovery and helped some folks get off the trail that had never been there. This is a peeve of mine anyway. People show up to run trails you know and you take a half assed stab at something you committed to do. Not cool. Each time there were people in minimally equipped rigs who were not seasoned veterans to hard off-road trails left to figure it out on their own. This can ruin your whole initial off road experience. I won’t harp on this, but trail leaders should take that responsibility seriously. End of rant--- Anyway, if you ever get the chance, this is a trail system you need to check out whether on your own, another Trail Hero event or the Winter 4x4 Jamboree. The trails are amazing, as are the sand dunes. Everything is close together with amazing scenery in all directions. Here’s some pics from the trail runs..
