Gittin' After It

Just imagine that every year there is a huge off-road event held in your local ’wheeling spot. By huge we mean too big, and by that we mean that there will be way too many vehicles to shove down the trail. Now these trails that you know like the back of your hand are gonna be so congested that what once was a fun ’wheeling spot, will now be backed up worse than the toilets in the Civic Center after a week-long expo on high-fiber foods. What do you do? Well, some would say you should start an anti-establishment type of event like a Woodstock for Jeeps, minus the hallucinogens and flower people named Rainbow, of course. But you could start an event where only a few of your best ’wheeling buddies are invited to camp out on your grandmother’s back field to do some ’wheeling during the day and have a cook-out over a camp fire at night. It would be fun, and hopefully you may get the point across that big events are good, but sometimes limits have to be set. This is just about exactly what happened in Cowan, Tennessee, this past Memorial Day weekend, and after having such a good time out there last winter we decided that we could not resist a chance to go and see some more heavy throttle-footed ’wheeling action.
