JeepFest 2013 Appreciation
« on: September 08, 2013, 06:43:35 PM »
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you all how much we appreciated all of our amazing volunteers that helped make JeepFest 2013 a reality. There were so many of you who gave up their weekends to brave the chiggers in the woods and work in the rain and heat. Others really stepped up to help man the tent, supervise on the trail, and just in general do whatever was needed for the weekend. Each of you that contributed are what makes GATR the great organization that it is. I'm just always proud to be associated with you all and really appreciate all you do.

Nice job taking the leadership role, Bobby. It was a fun event, and I'm sure they'll be talking about El Presidente until next year's Jeepfest!

It was a group effort. It wasn't easy clearing that trail in basically 3 days. An the recovery's and winching were not easy at all. Once again its the Club. A lot of guys drove many miles to come help.

I hope so! I honestly think we didn't have a good turn out due to the way people signed up for our trail. I think it was to unclear. There were plenty of capable rigs on site

Can't say enough about this club. You guys are great, have a fun weekend, and even more fun at the campsite where White Wes, Blue Wes, and some others made it a blast.  Can't believe all of the carnage from El Presidente. Maybe next year, if GATR sponsors the extreme trail again, we can add a bounty if its as extreme as this year. Something to think about. All in all, you all made it happen. I just can't wait till the next get together with this group.
So new to this that I don't even know what to ask!!!!

It was my pleasure to be there but THIS club made me proud to be there.
I wish I could have helped out more then I did, but my life really got in the way this year and not in a good way.

Just an FYI, while on the "Intermediate trail" Saturday AM there was a club from Columbus that had already heard how BA El Presidente was. They were thinking it wasn't all that until I explained it sucked up 40's for breakfast.

Had a blast guys, really happy to be part of GATR, I can say things are run better than many workplaces!  The tent was a great place to chill and talk with GATR members and newcomers and the extreme trail was crazy but still a safe ride.  Riding out with the crew to El Presidente was more fun than my early trail rides.

I wish I could have done more to help you guys. Jeepfest was an extremely busy event for us. I dont think I even seen the outside of our trailer all day. This club has always made me proud to be a part of it. To watch it develop and evolve from the beginning has been an amazing experience for me. We have a great group of guys now and I think this is still just the beginning of something much bigger.
