California Off-Highway Vehicle Areas List
|
The national forests around Lake Tahoe and the Bureau of Land Management areas east ans south of Carson City offer a multitude of off-roading possibilities. One of the most famous jeep and dune buggy trails in America–the Rubicon trail–extends from Georgetown in the Gold Country foothills west of Tahoe to the very shores of the lake, a distance of 22 miles. The narrow passages, rocky climbs, and occasional mud holes make this rout very difficult.

JEEPERS JAMBOREE
What is a Jeeper?
In this world of turmoil and frustration it is good to know that you can get away once in a while and relax away from it all. there is no better way to get away than in a jeep. This sturdy 4-wheel drive, little mechanical marvel can take you almost anywhere you dare to go. So, why not go? There is something about a jeep that just sets your spirits high when you go for a ride. A smile pops up and your lungs expand with fresh air and the world seems right with you in your neat jeep. It must be the natural "high" that makes jeepers never-ending mutual friends.
There is something that makes brothers out of all jeepers. One jeep in trouble can always count on a passing jeep to stop and lend a friendly hand of help and advice.
Many times I have seen full-grown men get behind the wheel of a jeep and revert to a happy boyhood attitude about life and a carefree spirit emerge. This is something only a jeeping woman can understand and tolerate.
Like brothers who keep an eye on one another, Jeepers are likewise!
