The June newsletter is now online here with writeups from the Safari.

The 2009 Illinois 4x4 Safari was GREAT!
Writeups and photos are here.

Myer's Mayhem has been pretty much redesigned courtesy of Dennis and his buddies. If you haven't been on this trail recently, give it a shot. Here is a video of an unopened section that will be available for the BLAST with the driver coming out sideways! Come join Dennis and his crew for more fun and mayhem!

If you attended the Safari and want more, or if you missed the Safari, now is your chance to register for the 4x4 BLAST, our last public event this year where we run all our trails!

Come to the 2009 4x4 BLAST. Registration is now open!!!
The event will be held August 6, 7, 8.

Last year those who attended had a wonderful time and this year will be just as good!

August 22: Ladies Day on the Trail and Evening at the Movies.
For the last two years this event was a big hit! Join us again for a great time . While we encourage the ladies to drive, guys can also drive if they wish (although the gals may show them a thing or two about driving!) RSVP to Lisa at riddle01@comcast.net or call the club phone if you have no email. We need a count so we know how many to prepare for. Please mention if you are going to the movie or not so sufficient space may be reserved for the club. Meet at the VFW at 7 – 8 AM for breakfast with trails leaving at 9. Meet again at the VFW at 7 PM to caravan out to the drive-in. Check here a few weeks ahead of time for the movies to be shown that night.

2009 Discounts for Two Rivers Members

10% Discount at Pine Lakes Campground
Pine Lakes Campground is offering a 10% discount to Two Rivers Jeep Club members anytime during the season. All you need do when making a reservation or checking in, is to show your membership card. If you don’t have that with you, as long as you are in the club directory, you will receive a 10% discount each stay. (This discount will not apply on top of any other discounts, the Safari, Blast, or on holiday weekends.) Pine Lakes has also been gracious enough to extend the 10% discount to any non-member camper who camps during either the Safari or Blast weekends. Please help support local businesses that help support TRJC!

10% Lodging discounts during Blast
We’ve negotiated a number of lodging discounts for the Blast. Member and non-member registrants will get a 10% discount during the Blast weekend at the following places:

Butler Farms Outdoor Adventures

There are more places being added all the time.

10% Discount at 4WD Hardware
Sign up through TRJC and receive a 10% discount on everything purchased through 4WD Hardware. In addition, TRJC receives a rebate at the end of the year amounting to 3% of all club member’s purchases. This could add up if all members used the program.
