What's New With M.O.R.R.!
The trails are back open!!!
As of 4/15/18, El Dorado National Forest and other surrounding forests have lifted the seasonal closures on off road trails! However, please please PLEASE still be careful as there is still snow and snowmelt runoff out there. Wheel responsibly, and avoid spinning out in the mud. This is a good time to practice treading lightly!
Now that seasonal closures are lifted, trail maintenance is going to continue on Strawberry Pass! We should see this trail get re-opened this year!! Please get in contact with the Gold Hills Posse 4x4 Club if you would like to help them with the last push to try and get the trail opened before summer!
As for us at My Off Road Radio! We have been far too busy this past month! We installed new headlights on the #RunnerCrawler (watch for the article to go live in the next few days!). We did some ham radio videos with Jimmy at Snail Trail 4x4, and will be continuing a ham radio series with him. And perhaps, most annoying of all, we have been battling a Japanese intrusion on our website server! If anyone has been trying to access the website in the past week, we apologize. Everything should be back to normal now! So check out the below articles and see the fun we have been up to!
Happy wheeling everyone!
