2011 East Coast 4Runner Jamboree - June 24-26, 2011



Events calender only goes up to 2010. Already posted in the feedback section. Anyway.....

I am gonna organize the Yotatech event this year again to coincide with the EC4RJ once again at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park.

PM's will be taken to collect phone numbers/CB handles closer to the date of the event. And unless anyone objects will be shared with the rest of the group. Please RSVP to this using the forums to make it easier on myself to send out pm's so I don't miss anybody.

Ya all got 4 months to get your junk in working order.
Lumpy ya might wanna tow your rig there this year.

Please make sure you meet the rules and regulations of the park. If you don't it will look bad on our group. Last year we had one guy not have a tow strap and only chains with hooks. Must have tow rope with loops and not hooks. The rest of the park rules are listed below.

Drinking on the trails of anything other than non-alcohol will not be tolerated nor will drug use. Alcohol at the end of the day while camping is ok. But under no circumstances will I tolerate drug use. As well as mandatory seat belt usage while on the trails. This means driver and passengers. I had several problems with one of the members last year and I will not allow the to be a part of our our group this year.

Group Name for event will once again be YOTATECH.
And all makes and models will be welcome. Non-Toyota guys just be ready for some talking.

I will be at the park early Friday Night for camping at the park. And barring any catastrophic failure of my truck will also be wheeling on Sunday again. If they do the free 1/2 day wheeling/trail cutting on Sunday, I will be doing that as well. Anyone in the groups is welcome to join me to help the park out for half the day and then wheel for free the second half.

Tentative CB channel will be channel 34 at the park. I will be traveling down there on 19 though. My handle will be EXTREME.

Rausch Creek Membership

Rausch Creek Off Road Park is a membership-based facility. There are no pre-requisites or waiting lists. All drivers and passengers must sign a membership application & liability waiver. Drivers and passengers age 16 and up are required to become members of the park which costs $15 per year and is good for one year from the date you join. Membership cards are given out when you join.

Children age 15 and younger are free, however, we require a parental waiver. All members under the age of 18 also require a parental waiver.

The daily entrance fee is $35.00 for the vehicle and driver. Passengers age 16 and up are $7.00 each (When a passenger joins the park, the $5.00 fee is waived that day). We offer free primitive camping for our members.
To speed up your registration and sign-in, please download the documents, fill them out, and bring them with you when you visit our facility. You'll get to go wheeln' sooner! The form requires the following info from BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS: Name, address, phone number, emergency contact info, driver's license number, vehicle description and license plate. Also, initial (do not check) the four individual waiver paragraphs. We need this information from passengers too.
