About the Event
Winter Wonderland @ Windrock 2023!!!!!!
*********************REGISTRATION IS CLOSED SORRY WE WILL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE!!!
Venture Unknown is heading back to offroad Disneyland!!! We welcome everyone to join us for our 3rd annual Winter Wonderland @ Windrock! aka #www2023!
This event will be full of fun for everyone brave enough to weather the cold! This is how we find out just how crazy our members are!
There will be a lot of info in these details so READ CAREFULLY
The plan......
#explore This event is about hitting the trails! Like last time we will have experienced team captains and co captains to lead teams no bigger than 10 through out this 73,000 acre park. We will break these teams up and accommodate 3 different build levels. Mild built 4x4 (no lift, no armor, 31s) , moderately built 4x4 (2in lift, some armor, 33s) and then there's the ones looking for a challenge (3" lift, armor/sliders, winch, 33s-35s. This is NOT 2wd territory! We typically stay off the black diamond trails and will only create that team per request. Last year this was a big success in handling 150+ rigs that showed up! Trail traffic...... Shoot we had the whole park to ourselves and everyone had room to spread out. This is the event where EVERYONE is invited! No max rig count, no tiny campsites, we have a 20 acre field to ourselves! Our own lil pop up Venture Unknown city!
There will be a raffle thanks to the generosity of many sponsors. We will announce those sponsors as they roll in. Last year we gave away tons of Warn products, a set of BFG tires, Morimoto lights, gift certificates from LFD Offroad, Midland radios, swag bags from our neighboring groups, and much more!
#educate We plan to bring in people who are knowledgeable in their field to share their skills with us all in scheduled workshops! Everything from recovery, first aid, 12 volt, meal prep, BFG Q&A, GAIA, Communications (GMRS) and more
Hungry?? We are bringing back the chili war..... I mean cook off!
We will be serenade by Philip Pielow in the evening. More musical acts are being sought after too! Let us know if you have talent.
Venture Unknown swag bags for everyone who registers!
