Did you know? There’s some excellent tent camping just over the NY border…
12th Killington Jeep Jamboree
156 jeeps arrived in Killington, Vermont with more than 350 drivers and riders ready to hit the trails. Alison took the wheel so I got to enjoy the ride and admire the views. The pictures say it all.
And as with every Jamboree, it’s the PEOPLE that make it AMAZING!
Back Country Camping
Time for a little local back-country camping with my best buddy.
Mama Gertie’s Hideaway
Have you ever wondered what the perfect campground is like? Until this week, I thought there was only one. Lucky for us there’s another, and it’s in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
And there are even opportunities for Jeeping nearby! Can you believe it?!?
Perfect. (Except that you generally need reservations a year in advance…)
It’s official: we’re an all Jeep family!
24th Gateway to the Cumberlands Jeep Jamboree
Every year Jeepers from around the country gather for a weekend of off-road adventure in the Cumberland Gap region. Like last year in Maine, Ruby Jean wanted to join them. Of course, I camped in my new (and constantly improving!) rig.
In this overhead drone shot, you can see the tiny bright orange tent peeking through the morning fog (second from the bathhouse).
The night before we hit the first trails, more than 300(!) Jeeps took over the little town of Williamsburg, Kentucky. Some were stock, others heavily modified. All were unstoppable.
Paul and Dawn were first to arrive, so we lined up early for inspection.
Once Kris, Mary Jo, Jim, and John rolled in, it was time for our final trail selection.
Trail Day One
Trail Day Two
As with every Jamboree, it’s the PEOPLE that make it AMAZING. What an incredible trip!
