Here is the full info on the March Windrock event:
We are headed back to one of our favorite venues with 300+ miles of off-road trails on 72,000 acres in the beautiful Tennessee Mountains. The park has plenty of different trails for all types of vehicles and adrenaline levels, plus beautiful mountain scenery around every corner. This event is all about the trails, off-roading, and Camaraderie. We will be kicking up mud and crawling over rocks. For this specific March event there is also going to be a bonus off road day offered on March 23rd to Royal Blue OHV Sand Mines. This is a different offroad park than Windrock. If you are interested in getting another day of wheeling in, make sure to be at the hotel early in the morning on the 23rd or arrive the previous day on March 22nd. If you have any questions about the Sand Mines, contact Mike Owens and he can help you out.
Park Info:
We recommend buying park permit prior to the event because the Windrock General Store can get very busy most mornings and just delay our heading to the trails. You can pay for your park permit and learn more about the park by visiting Windrock’s website:

Guests:
Club members are always allowed to bring guests that are not club members as passengers in their Hummer. For this event, club members will also be allowed to sponsor one guest that is not a club member that can drive a Hummer or non-Hummer 4x4 vehicle. This driver and vehicle must remain in the same group as the sponsoring club member who will be responsible for their conduct. This guest and vehicle must follow the same rules as club members. Please note, that members can sponsor only one extra driver and vehicle.
Important Notes:
* Drivers meeting each morning in the parking lot of the hotel.
* All trucks should be fueled and prepared to leave for the trails without having to make any extra stops.
* Be sure to pack lunch and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. Some extra snacks and a lawn chair for sitting when we lunch on the trail would be a plus.
* A CB for communication is required – and makes the event more fun and easier. Inform your trail leader if you do not have CB communication.
* Be certain that your truck is well maintained and that it is in good operational condition. Bring likely spare parts and tools if you have them.
* Be prepared for long trail days (food, water, fuel, clothing), you never know what might happen.
