A reminder about our annual Newbie / Ball & Chain run;

Where? = Hungry Valley OHV Park, Gorman California. The Aliklik Campground
When? = March 19-20 2016
Who is invited? = anyone with a 4x4 and a good attitude!
Cost? = $5.00 gate fee !!! This is not an event, but a run with a lot of people out to have a good time.

This is one of IOR's biggest runs of the year. The Newbie / Ball & Chain run is an opportunity for new 4-wheelers and the wives (or hubbies) of experienced 4-wheelers to learn the ropes and have fun in a safe and easy environment. There is an obstacle park at Aliklik campground that has something for everyone; from easy hill climbs and small rocks, to huge boulders and an artificial waterfall that will test the best rig and most experienced drivers. And the beauty of it all, is that it is all within walking distance of camp! There will be lots of very experienced and knowledgeable off-roaders willing to help and spot inexperienced drivers. This is all about bringing new folks into the hobby and to give the more experienced folks a chance to pass on what they know!

The campground itself has clean pit toilets and is an easy drive for any size RV. It is all dirt, so you can tent camp anywhere. You need to bring your own food and drinks. Some campsites will be wild and crazy after-hours, but there will be plenty of quiet areas to camp away from the crazy folks.

Lots of good quality pictures and video will be taken, which you can download for free from the Infectious Off-road Website or Facebook page.

So bring out the newbs and take the ball & chain out for a weekend of fun with Infectious Off-Road.

I'll be putting in my days off this week. I have many fond memories of this run.

It has been said that I once did a swan dive out of a tent trailer on my way to give back all of the booze I had consumed. I can't confirm the story but it sounds about right because I was SHITTERFACED!
