The Carolina Trail Blazers Fun Caravan will be held Saturday September 8th on the Uwharrie Off Road Training Center, UORTC, property directly across highway 109 from the Eldorado Outpost in Uwharrie National Forest.

The morning wil consist of the annual Field Games, a test of your 4wd vehicle's agility and ability and a test of your driving skillz. Featured games are Roll To The Line, Blind Dog Run, Ball & Post, Nudge The Jug and The Balance Beam.

The afternoon will be free time for catching up with old friends, a ride in the Forest or that much needed nap.

Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. catered by Chris Cagle of The Eldorado Outpost. Following dinner our annual fund raiser raffle will be held. Prizes include everything from a winch and mig welder to zip ties and glass cleaner.

Cost is $25 which includes one Field Games entry, one meal, one raffle ticket and primitive camping priviledges. Additional meals are $8. Additional raffle tickets are $1 each. Pre registration assures you a meal, send a message to JC if interested, but on site registration is avaliable Friday from 4pm til 8 pm and Saturday morning from 8 am to 10 am.

Come on out and join us for a fun day of family, friends and four wheeling!
 
FUN CARAVAN 2012
Come one, come all. Bring the whole family, friends, neighbors, you name it. Bring your rig or Mama’s SUV.
Location: Same as last year-UORTC-across from the Eldorado Outpost
This is a large area that has been donated exclusively for our use for the entire weekend by Scott Fields, owner of UORTC, Uwharrie Off Road Training Center .
There are “Johnny “ houses, but no SHOWERS. Showers can be taken at the Arrowhead Campground. There is plenty of room for RV’s or tent camping. As a bonus, provisions are just across the street at the Outpost.
We’ll have food, fun and fellowship, uh… and a little 4-wheeling. Yep, I’m talking about our annual fund raising event called the FUN CARAVAN. If you are not familiar with this event or have been living in a cave for the last several years, then you are in store for a full weekend of activities. Be sure to get your sleep before you come! Friday night we kinda take it easy with camp set-up and fellowship. If you are looking for a night ride, I’m sure you will find a group heading out just after dark. If you are looking to relax, tell stories and sit around the campfire, I’m sure you will find one of those also. Saturday is when we’ll kick it up a notch. Registration and Check-In starts at 8:00 am; The field games will start at approx.10:00 am and run ‘til approx. 2:00 pm.

You can ride the obstacle course on the property, play on the RTI, take a trail ride through the UNF or just hang out and socialize with friends. It’s your call. Do what you want, but be ready to eat dinner at 7 pm. Bring your appetite because Chris Cagle and his crew return this year to provide their delicious Grilled Chicken and fix’ns. At 8:00 pm we will have our CTB meeting, followed by the trophy presentation for the day’s winners and finally, the RAFFLE. For those folks still awake, we will have a night ride at 10:00 pm till….. whenever someone breaks or they can no longer stay awake.

Here’s the deal, belly up and get your money and registration sent in NOW to guarantee a meal for you and your family on Saturday night.
Okay, now for the directions: From Hwy 109 south, go approx. 10 minutes south of Hwy 49, the Eldorado Outpost is on the right, the FUN CARAVAN is located directly across the road on your left, THIS IS NOT at the Uhwarrie Stables.
FINAL NOTE: We will not be collecting trail ride fees. You must purchase these in advance or on the day you plan to ride in the UNF. You can get these at the Eldorado Outpost. The cost is $5.00/day to ride the trails.

My first Fun Caravan was in 2000 in a stock YJ on Pirelli Scorpion A/T tires. This event is for everyone from stock 4x4s to the highly modified stuff. You won't be disappointed!
 
Getting the Jeep ready for the road trip.
Love the Fun Caravan!
