Yep, I agree. RG is fairly easy, tho' I did have a Ford ride-along dude telling me what to do....MUCH different than Byron, which really worked my knees!

And much much smaller.

Watching that vid, didn't have that deep of mudholes when I was there, tho' it was quite wet and muddy. Frankly, I wouldn't go into some of those considering some folks' alternator issues and fuel pump starvations....

It's a great park. My first bronco drive was there. Ford rented the park for the day. Bronco did what I didn't know that I could do.

@Headsong are you coming to Broncopalooza?

Hey everyone I know alot of you are not on Facebook but check out the attached fliers for what is looking to be one of the largest Bronco events in the Midwest! Chicagoland Bronco's and Hamblock Ford are hosting Broncopalooza 2023! 2-5 at Hamblock Ford 1800 N State St Belvidere IL 61008 on 7/29. Tons of Giveaways, Vendors DJ, Foodtrucks ect and afterwards heading to Rocky Glen Offroad park for some wheelin'! Let us know if you have any questions hope to see you here! @Bird Dog Off Road @EvanPeterson

Asking here since it isn't clear to me from the flyers . . . have to be somewhere else that evening but the vendor meet n greet is of interest. Is that something open to attend and then leave or is it $50 all-in whether one is going on to Rocky Glen or not? Thanks.

lol oh hey… that’s me on the thumbnail

This is going to be my first time trying out your old Bilstein suspension off road!

Are flags required at the park?

Sounds like the 50 is only for the park.

Karl the Hamblock Ford portion is 100% free unless you want to buy food, stuff from vendors, or extra raffle tickets. The $50 is for Rocky Glenn and you pay at the gate

Thanks, that's what I was figuring but better to ask first vs assuming and making the drive only to be surprised.

I left the Northwest suburbs (Bartlett) 5 years ago for Florida. Reading this thread does bring back memories of places in Illinois. My son still lives up there (Aurora).

LUCKY YOU!! I'm hoping to retire soon and move somewhere warm in a couple of years!! The summers are too short, so the top/doors go on soon! Florida is my choice (Keys & Disney & closer to Cancun), but my wife wants Arizona. In Feb my son and I visited Mesa for the Cactus League and I loved it (Palm trees & mountains), so it's going to be hard to decide, but it'll be a warmer location for sure!! I grew up in Aurora and currently live next door to the town, so small world! I work for Kane County, and a portion of Kane buts-up to Bartlett, near Rt 25 & Middle (South Elgin) & Black Jacks, a business on Rt. 25 near Dunham & Stearns!

[Headsong]
