13 Groups went out to tackle the trails at Paragon. Kyle Knosp, General Manager, orchestrated trail routes & guides so there were no traffic jams and folks experienced the park like if their group was the only one in the park (a job well done).

At 7:30 AM, Grizz, with other volunteers, collected donations & waivers while Kyle and his crew were lining up the rigs. Suzie was serving breakfast and of course raffle tickets were being sold.

The raffle table was soo impressive, it looked like a 4-wheeler's dream. 4WheelDrive Hardware, Quadratec, Sun Performance Parts & Ok 4 Wheel Drive went all out.

After the raffle, the groups headed to the trails. Group after group left the staging area. Everyone was well into the park when the first snow drops of the seasons started to fall.

Around 12:30, you could hear horns saluting America after reports were heard on radio that the Coalition had begun bombing in Afghanistan. Over 268 rigs came together to show their support while the official war started. It was an uncanny event.

Offroading in an event that was providing monetary support to a Relief Fund from terroristic attacks, while following initial retaliatory attacks from our side heard on the radio from the trails at Paragon, was a real American experience.

Around 4:30, groups headed out of the park. Some went home and others headed to Ridge Ridge Campground for a home style BBQ hosted by 4x4wire.com.

October 7th will be a day to remember.
