The 2003 Two Rivers Jeep Club 4x4 Blast was another great success. Pittsfield, Illinois once again played gracious host to this event. As usual, Pittsfield was covered with "Welcome Jeepers" signs!

The sun was high for the event, and the temperatures warm. This good weather ensured that plenty of trail was run, including portions of the trail which are dry-weather only.

Many old friends returned and ran with us on both Friday and Saturday. Steve returned and ran the trail with his older Willy's Jeep, Doug & Gretchen returned, sans their Scout, in a Jeep Cherokee. Norm and Debbie drove their White Cherokee, but unfortunately didn't have a chance to try out the winch they won at the Spring Safari! The West's joined us again, and all had a good run on the trail. New friends learned that while Ridge Ramble is only rated 1+, it has challanging sections, is very scenic, and covers alot of ground.

 

I hope you enjoy the selection of pictures below...and join us next year at either the Safari or Blast!

Until the Next Event....
