It's official...Interim webmistress Bling has been super helpful but is still working out a few kinks. We've got a flier now and a registration form.

A rough break out of events is as follows:
Friday:
Check in/tech inspection
Fireworks at dark hosted by Hannibal City on the Hannibal river front.
Saturday:
Driver’s meeting for guided trails
Shotgun start for on site wheeling
Hog Roast Dinner & Raffle
Movies at the "Hannibal Drive In" aka "Outdoor Movie Theater"
Sunday:
Shotgun start for on site wheeling
Open trail riding on site for remainder of day
Pricing is VERY reasonable compared to some of the other weekend MWJT events but doesn't include much more than a piece of dirt to put up a tent and access to the trails. This event is designed to cater to the cheap SOB's like myself that like to/need to pinch a penny.
For those of you that prefer a bit more luxury, Hannibal has a number of quality hotels to chose from. Further, the Injun Joe's Campground is literally right next door and boasts full hook ups and a pool for the kiddos. We'll probably be spending the nights there.
All your food is BYO except for a legendary RORP hog roast Saturday night.
We'll soon be recruiting trail guides to come to Hannibal to learn the off-site trails. Tom has offered us access to the Hopewell trails that triple the size of the park providing a phenomenal opportunity to see some of the fantastic views that are rarely seen from the MO side of the river. We'll need volunteer guides to come learn those trails ahead of time so you're up and ready come the day of the event.
Finally, spread the word. This event is in no way shape or form Jeep exclusive. Let's get all the local, regional and national boards aware and get the hype going. I hope to see a lot of happy faces that weekend.
