Nevada Off Roadeo

[clmh]

I am signed up for Off Roadeo in Nevada with 3 others. One of us recently injured an ankle and won’t be able to drive but still wants to come along.

So I’m curious how much walking is involved. She has a boot and walking sticks for stability but we want to make sure she can still ride along.

TIA

Not a crazy amount of walking at all unless she has to use the restroom a lot. There is about 3-4 stairs that you will go up and down a few times at base camp for lunch, dinner, etc. just went 2 weeks ago.

Here is a pic of the stairs: (looks like there is a ramp too)

Definitely ask to be the trail leader or close to the front of the group. That will cut down walking big time.

There is a scenic overlook she may not want to walk up to, but everything else is quite a short distance. You park right next to the building for lunch.

She'll be fine, there's very little walking. I remember the overlook and then the initial walk from the introduction area to the Bronco's. There was a guy in my group that had an artificial leg that did fine.

From my experience there is minimal “required” walking. Certainly nothing that can’t be accommodated.

Thanks everyone. She feels much better about it now.

I'll be at the event Monday 4/10. I was just discussing it with a coworker and he advised me to rent a car to get there from Redrock Casino...

I’ve heard that. I’ve got my guests picking me up so all good.

Sometimes cell service isn’t great making Uber a little hard. Agree she’ll be ok walking, although it will be a rough ride at times.

Thank you. I reserved a rental through Priceline for $144 for 3 days...

Update:

We went to Off Roadeo on Monday and had an amazing time. I went with three others thinking we would all drive but ultimately I did most of the driving. I learned so much about the capabilities of the technology in the Bronco as well as some driving techniques for off road driving in general. As a total noob, it was just what I needed to be more confident when I drive off road now that I’m back home. It was a great day and worth every penny.

I do want to add though that there was quite a bit of walking involved as we went through their test course area discussing basic technique. My crew made it through but it was tough on a broken ankle (but she had a great time and came out of it with no further damage done)

The most important thing I learned is to always take a pal with me!

Thank you Hunter for guiding us through!

I'm headed to Nevada Off-Roadeo on 5/6. Anyone have an idea of what the breakdown of vehicle options looks like (e.g., is it mostly SAS or non-SAS? Mostly Badlands or do the trims run the gamut)? In particular, what does the Manual availability look like?

Most are Squatch of the higher trim variety and a couple of non-Squatch BL's. Manual availability is zero. To many burned up clutches at the first few rodeos.

Ah that's a shame--thanks for the response.
