The wife and I are planning on going this fall, well, if Ford can manage to confirm our order in the Off Roadeo site.

I am scheduled for Sept. 6. I booked a room at Silverton and an Uber from there is about $35-40. Cheap car rental was $110 so I went with that!
Will Uber take you in there?

I heard it wouldn't go on the gravel roads.

Highly doubtful, plus there is no coverage at the site so you wouldn't have anyway to call for the return trip. You might be able to catch a ride with someone, but wouldn't bank on it...

The road is used quiet often with campers, home owners and church retreats any Uber vehicle can make it to Off-rodeo. The location is a few miles up the mountain from the turn off.

None of the Broncos appear to be registered, no plates. Doubt anyone's auto insurance would cover unregistered vehicle on private trails in a driving event...

It would be a strange claim for damage, could be more for personal injury? Either way there must be a huge blanket policy over the operation.

you can enter the address on the app and schedule a ride to or from. I am not aware of any reason they would not travel on a dirt road

Uber will be $50 each way. Then you have to follow the guide to the parking lot on-site. Then they shuttle you to the main area. They have WiFi and I had coverage on site so you will be able to request an Uber from there. But when I used to do Uber I don’t think I’d go up there. Pretty sketch for an Uber driver.
personally I’d rent a cheap car for the day. And you want to be there at 730 and you have to stand around and wait for them unto open the gate. Anywhere from 730-745. Then they lead you all to the parking area.

Just got back from the Mt. Potosi Off Rodeo event today. All told, I think I had about 4 hours behind the wheel of a Wildtrak. It was a great tIme and have three observations. First and most important, a big shout out to Anthony who was our guide/instructor. Can’t say enough positive things about him. He was friendly, patient, and an overall good guy. He answered a lot of Bronco related questions I had. Ford is lucky to have someone like him on their payroll. He has the perfect personality for this job. Second, I never in my life thought I would drive some of the trails that he took us through. I’ve done light wheeling, dirt roads, and so forth. But these trails had a little bit of everything and really highlighted the off road proficiency of Broncos. Third, it’s a first class event. They feed you two good meals and have plenty of snacks and breaks in-between. It’s very well organized.

If your momentum has stalled a bit for getting a Bronco, I suggest you do one of these. It has really renewed my excitement for all things Bronco related.

Hey I know you 😁. Soo much fun running with you today. I have about 75 photos so I will dump them when I get a chance. All the 3 wheeling you did today rocked 🤘. Doug who followed you all day

I'm jazzed the F up! Can't wait to go in November! Hopefully Anthony is still there when I go. Thanks for posting!
