Wheelers for the Wounded Ride-Along, Saturday May 16, 2009



Join us for a fun spring time ride-along event as we play host to the Arizona stop on the Wheelers for the Wounded 2009 tour!

Saturday May 16th, 9am
Seven Springs trail to Seven Springs Group Campground

We will be hosting a group of wounded veterans and other disabled folks from around the valley for a day of fun on the trail, ending at the group campground in beautiful Seven Springs with a BBQ!

So how can you help?  We need volunteer drivers! This is a scenic and not highly difficult trail located north of the Cave Creek/Carefree area.  However, we ask that in order to volunteer you must:

Have a 4wd vehicle w/recovery gear and in sound mechanical working order.
Have at minimum a CB radio for communication.
Current drivers license and vehicle insurance.
Able to commit to the entire day.
Follow a no alcohol on the trail rule.
Dogs ok but MUST be on a leash at all times.
Have a good attitude!

The ride along event will officially end around 1pm Saturday, but all volunteers are welcome to stay overnight with us at the Seven Springs campground which we have reserved until noon Sunday.  If you plan on staying over night, please:

Bring some firewood
Prepare appropriately for the weekend weather
You are responsible for your own dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning.  Only lunch on Saturday will be provided.

If you are interested in being a volunteer driver for this event please contact corbin8or@cox.net, or 602-770-4110.  You will be placed on a volunteer list and matched up with a participant, so please do not just show up at the event! We are asking all volunteer drivers to donate $10 to cover the cost of a Tonto Pass and event fees.

If you know of a disabled Vet who would like to participate in the ride-along please have them contact Corbin.  We are limiting this event to 20 participants!!

This is great Heidi, thanks for posting up!  I might be able to make this but need to wait to hear if other plans are going to fall into place first.

Just so everyone knows, if you have not been on this "trail", it is very doable with any stock Nissan 4x4.

Thanks Laurence I hope you can make it out!  And the rest of you too!!

I've just updated the first post to reflect the contact information for Corbin.  If any of you know a disabled vet who would like to participate in this event please have them contact Corbin asap!!

Ok I've updated the first post to reflect what is now happening!  Sorry for any confusion, but as some of you know there have been some issues with Disabled Explorers lately...this event is now being hosted by Zebra Sports and Sierra Expeditions!

Thanks for the update Heidi!

I have "stuff" going on that evening so I am not going to be able to make it. Lots of great people will be attending this event who I am friends with. It should be a cool weekend and lots of fun. I would highly recommend attending for those who have the time.
