RENO EXPO TRAIL RIDE A SUCCESS!

RENO EXPO WITH OFF-ROAD TRAIL RIDE

The 2012 Reno Expo (Off Road, ATV, Home and Garden, Pets, Boats and more) is underway in Reno, NV right now from our friend, Al Lockett (Lockett Shows).

Here is Dave Rainey in his awesome and faithful jeep, guiding us around the back roads east of Reno for a ride to benefit BlueRibbon Coalition.  We had 13 rigs with a bunch of great folks having fun.

One of my favorite rigs was this 1980 CJ-5 rigged to the hilt, with everything a wheeler might need, to include the paddles if you get caught up the proverbial creek.  LOL

Marty Galantuomini is the owner and his Detroit set up jeep let no obstacle slow him down.

The trail ride is Tuesday of the Expo week in Reno.,  Then the big show runs from Friday though Sunday.

Next stop: Moab, UT for the Easter Safari.

TDS A HUGE SUCCESS; TAP TOUR III

TIERRA DEL SOL CLUB GETS IT DONE AGAIN

TDS Desert Safari was a huge success again....over 1700 registered vehicles and over $160,000 in raffle prizes, with each prize package worth over $1000.  Thousands of folks were in the raffle audience.  It was amazing.  The weather held out pretty good for the most part.  But it is the desert, so there was a little wind here and there.  On the other hand, we also got sun burnt.  :)

We set up a "landuse compound" not far from the vendor show with United Four Wheel Drive Association, BlueRibbon Coalition, Calif. Assoc. of 4Wheel Drive Clubs and the Access Army all together.  It was a lot of fun with many hours of landuse talks and strategizing.

Stacie found a new "toy" that we brought home -- a 1972 Jeep Commando in marvelous shape, with an AMC V-8 304. Power steering and power brakes too.  Sweet.  It was quite the draw at the booth.

Next up for us is Cabela's Spring show and the Reno Off Road Motorports Expo.

RENO, NV  EXPO AND OFF-ROAD SHOW WITH TRAIL RIDE FOR LANDUSE

This is a fun show in Reno, NV, March 23 -25, with a trail ride on Tuesday March 20th. We did it last year, both the trail ride and the show, and it was a blast with tons of cool things going on.

We set up our BlueRibbon Coalition booth along with several other off-road vendors and enjoyed talking to folks all day long.

The real name of this event is the Reno Off-Road & Motorsports Expo where you'll see the latest and greatest in off-road vehicles, off-road gear, innovative products and the companies from Northern Nevada and Northern California who can provide you with all the essentials for your off-road lifestyle.

The show will provide attendees the opportunity to compare the products of local business owners, as well as, shop for all your off-road recreation needs—all at one great big show, for three great days.

Put it on your calendar and swing by for great fun, great people and an up close and personal look at some great off-road products.
