Trail days:  September 19th through the 21st.

Event coordinator:  Dave Breggin, BlueHummer@earthlink.net

Members just can’t get enough of Durango!

In Durango we will be running Northern New Mexico trails like Grim Reaper and Secret! If you haven’t run either of these trails,  you have missed out on some of the best Hummer wheeling there is. Your truck will do things you didn’t know it could! If you have been on these trails, then you probably can’t wait to get to back to them and have another go!   

Self-guided trips are also available to some breathtaking high-alpine passes, ghost towns and historic trails near Ouray & Telluride, Colorado.  

Some Notable Information:

1.              Driver’s meeting each morning at the departure point (TBA). Be fueled up and have a lunch packed each trail day. Bring extra water and snacks.  Be prepared for long trail days.

2.              Trail communication:  Instead of CB Radios, we will be using FRS radios for this event.  These radios are inexpensive, have similar range and better clarity than CB, and no license is required.  (They are compatible with GMRS radios, for those that have them.)  If you do not have an FRS radio, we will loan you one for the event.
