We just returned from an epic trip to Amarillo, Texas to attend the Palo Duro Jeep Jamboree.  This event was our 8th Jamboree.  What is a Jeep Jamboree?  Good question!  It's an off-roading event specifically for Jeeps.  Other makes and models are not allowed to attend, you must have a Jeep.  Where are the Jeep Jamborees?  All over the world!  Jeep Jamboree just added events in Iceland, Swiss Alps and Portugal this year.  There are several events throughout the United States.  The eight that we have attended have been in seven different states.  Here is the list of the places we have been with the Jeep Jamboree:

  • Drummond Island, Michigan (twice)   
  • Ozark, Arkansas
  • Lewisburg, West Virginia
  • Seymour, Missouri
  • Deadwood, South Dakota
  • Mole Lake, Wisconsin
  • Amarillo, Texas
These events have all sorts of different trails, difficulties and great comradery amongst the fellow trail riders.  When you arrive at a Jeep Jamboree, the first thing you do is have your vehicle inspected by the trail guides and pick your trail group for the weekend.  The trail guides help you decide which group will best suit your and your Jeep's abilities.  Its all about having fun, being challenged and being safe at the end of the day.

Jeep Jamboree's start with an early morning breakfast, plenty of coffee in hand and a safety meeting.  Then we all head off to our designated trails for the day.  Lunch is usually trailside and it's a good idea to pack plenty of water and snacks in your Jeep before you head out for the day.  Everyone gets back to the trailhead/camp area for dinner at the end of the day.  Then it's time to make any fixes, repack the snacks, clean up from the trails, and get some rest to do it all over again the next day.  After day 2 on the trails, an end of the weekend banquet/meeting will take place to thank everyone for attending, hand out some prizes and wish everyone safe travels home.


A Jeep Jamboree is a great way to off-road with experienced trail guides, meet some new people, and possibly off-road in some areas otherwise closed to the public. 

Where will your next adventure lead you?

Midwest Ride-in at ERX Motorpark

By
  We had a great time over the weekend checking out the Midwest Ride-in @erxmotorpark in Elk River, Mn. The Midwest Ride-in is a vintage snowmobile show like no other snowmobile show. Participants ride to the show, trailer to the show, and ride all around during the event. And it's not limited to just vintage sleds. ERX Motorpark has a vast trail system that all the snowmobiles were able to check out and enjoy. One of our AMSOIL Dealers, @_aplusoils was at the show all three days representing AMSOIL, selling products to participants and meeting some really cool folks. (We'll share more about that) This was a great fun FAMILY event. Our daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids all had a great time. Our grandson even got to drive his Kitty Cat snowmobile. #familytime #snowmobile #vintagesnowmobile #selfemployed #husbandandwife #husbandandwifeteam #supportsmallbusiness #selfemployedlife #amsoildealerstyle #beyourownboss #amsoilambassador #amsoil #enthusiast Follow u...

Prepping for Texas

By
 April 8, 2024 Written by Mike and Linda Ford  Our next big adventure is a trip to the Palo Duro Jeep Jamboree at Figure 3 Ranch near Amarillo, Texas.   This will be the 9th Jamboree that we have attended and our first time in Texas. Saharacon, our 7-year-old Jeep Wrangler JKU, needed some maintenance this year before she's ready for the trails.  She had a bent rear control arm, all four doors were seized on, the control arm bushings were worn, and she had a leaking front axle.   We also installed a new Stinger infotainment system with cameras on the front and back of the Jeep.  We can't wait to see how it performs on the trail. Working on the doors - AMSOIL MP Metal Protector came through and all the doors were able to be removed, lubed up and put back into place for the season.  We usually leave the doors on all the time, but it doesn't hurt to make sure all the areas are free moving. Next up to get ready is the Ram 3500 Dually and the Lanc...
