Recommendations for a Jamboree?
Hi folks, though it's still 2003 I'm already planning my '04 vacation and my
first chance to play in my new TJ. I'm looking over the map of the '04 Jeep
Jamborees...
http://www.jeepjamboreeusa.com/schedule-2004.htm
....and while I live on the East Coast, I'm leaning towards Jamboree in
Ouray, Colorado (nothing like a great road trip).
Anybody been to any of the Jamboree's out that way (or this way) and got any
recommendations? With only 2 weeks of vacation I probably couldn't push any
further west than Utah or Arizona.
Input would be much appreciated.

Last time I went out West it took about 3 days to reach the Rockies.
That was a long hard and fast trip using my GC to pull a travel
trailer. Are you sure you want to take the TJ that far as it could be
hard on your butt?
I'd suggest that you consider Jamborees in Maine #25, Western MA #30,
Eastern PA #17 as they are all run by local clubs that know the area
and are very helpful (especially if this will be one of your first day
long runs or you want to hit some very hard trails). The better the
club the more organized the run, and better time you will have. If
you want trees, rocks and mud then PA, MA and ME are your targets. If
you want water and sand then consider the NJ Pinelands #9.
I have been on each of these runs and they were well run.
While your Jeep is a rugged vehicle there is always a chance you might
need repairs before going home. If you only have two weeks and need 8
days in transit, well ... The trail guides will never leave you on a
trail and Jeep supports each run (or used to) with parts at the local
dealer, you still might want to consider a closer location or more
time. And remember that you also might want to spend time in CO and
you only have about four days slack. You shouldn't miss Rocky Mt.
Natl. Park

Re: Recommendations for a Jamboree?
CO is just too far from the east coast for a two week driving vacation. See
if you can get another week, or fly to Montrose and rent a Jeep there or in
Ouray. They may even have Rubicons. RMNP is for hikers and souvenir
shoppers who can't or won't walk more than 50 feet from where the Lexus is
parked. There isn't much there that would be interesting to a Jeep owner,
although Fall River Road was fun in my two wheel drive Dodge A100 twenty
years ago. ;o)

Re: Recommendations for a Jamboree?
Hi John,
About eight years ago I took my wife and two girls out to the Rocky Mountain
National Park. We did it in a 79 CJ7. We now have a 2001 TJ and in January
my wife and I are meeting up with a friend in Las Vegas and going to Death
Valley and Titus Valley. We are taking the TJ.
With all that said, it is a long trip and unless you enjoy long drives,
well. But if you do go for it. Remember if you break something!!
I live in KY and there are several super Jamborees here. #9 is great and
the place where it is held is top notch. #11 is real nice and great rock
formations. #27 is great scenery. #30 is a hoot only if your Jeep is
built. Stock - you can go and it will test your skills and rub your skid
plates.
I am going to #9 in May. Come on down for a blast!
I am a OTR truck driver, semi retired. That may be why I can drive long
distance and think nothing of it. LOL

About eight years ago I took my wife and two girls out to the Rocky Mountain
National Park. We did it in a 79 CJ7. We now have a 2001 TJ and in January
my wife and I are meeting up with a friend in Las Vegas and going to Death
Valley and Titus Valley. We are taking the TJ.
With all that said, it is a long trip and unless you enjoy long drives,
well. But if you do go for it. Remember if you break something!!
I live in KY and there are several super Jamborees here. #9 is great and
the place where it is held is top notch. #11 is real nice and great rock
formations. #27 is great scenery. #30 is a hoot only if your Jeep is
built. Stock - you can go and it will test your skills and rub your skid
plates.
I am going to #9 in May. Come on down for a blast!
I am a OTR truck driver, semi retired. That may be why I can drive long
distance and think nothing of it. LOL
