Crawlorado Jeepers Meet n Greet - Colorado Springs

Today, several of the CFW rigs rolled out to the Crawlorado Jeepers meet n greet up at BJ's Brewhouse on N. Nevada! 

Our very own R&R Offroad sponsored raffle prizes and brought out the RTI ramp which was hugely popular. Chris Denton and Dan Weischedel spotted vehicles and measured how far different rigs got up the ramp. They asked for $1 per rig to go toward Christmas For Kids! I don't know how much they brought in, but there was a decent amount! 

The guys who sponsored the event from Crawlorado, Gabe and Nathan, were great, and I think it is safe to say that everyone had a good time! To learn more about Crawlorado Jeepers, you can find them on Facebook! They mentioned that they plan to continue to have meet ups around the state! This meet up broughtin over 200 vehicles. The guys with Crawlorado gave half of their proceeds to a raffle winner. That person left with something like $477!!

Stay the Trail also had their trailer out, which was cool. 
These are just some of the pics we took, but if you want to see more, check out the Craworado Jeepers Facebook page.

China Wall Night Run / After Christmas Party 1/10/15

Trip report and pics from the China Wall night run after the christmas party 1/10/15. 

James and Chrystie Marden led the trip. We left Southside Johnny's around 8:30PM after the Club Christmas Party. We all met up at the turn off to CR77 where the group aired down. We started the trip with 4 members and 5 guests. During the trip to the trail one of the guest rigs lost fuel pressure so we were able to get him off to the side of the road and he jumped in another rig for the trail run. We entered China Wall through the first entrance and followed the trail through the rock gardens and then turned around at the last big single rock obsticale. We made our way back to the trail split and took the trail down through box canyon and out the third entrance. Daniel and Robert left the group at the trail split to meet Chris with the car trailer to recover Robert's rig. We could not have asked for a better night for the run. We had clear skies, 21 degree temps with no wind. The trail was in great shape with a couple of inches of snow which made it even more challenging. Huge thanks to Daniel Weischedel, Chris Denton, and James and Chrystie Marden for loading up and getting Robert's rig back to town. James and Chrystie opened up RnR Offroad shop on Sunday so Robert could replace his failed fuel pump!! Another great Colorado Four Wheelers Trail run!!!
