On March 30, the Illiana Hummer Club will be hosting it's first off-roading event of the season. The event is scheduled to run from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and is sure to provide a great time. We all know that you've been sitting around this winter with the itch to go wheeling, well now is your chance... All are welcome, regardless of experience and the truck you drive. We welcome anyone and everyone with a passion for the awesome machine that you drive and a curiosity of what your vehicle is capable of. The trails will also be Hummer friendly as a few of us will be going on the 17th to re-groom the trails we'll be on. I hope to see a few new faces!

I THINK I'll becaravanning up there with Mike, but I don't know if I'm going to actually go off-roading. I'll probably ride along in his truck. My wife's only day off of work is on Sunday so you can imagine it's going to be a little difficult. I've already talked to him about it. There are a few members on here who don't post that want to go.

FYI, we MIGHT be getting our own IHC thread/channel on this forum, but we are still talking about that.

 

Sounds great, it'll be nice to see some new faces. An IHC forum would be awesome!

 

Just got an H3 Alpha a month ago. I would love to take it offroad. Not a club member.... Yet.... I'll half to check calender.

 

Quick question.... My dad has a Jeep Wrangler and might be interested. Will this be a Jeep friendly event?

 

Quag, you and your father are both welcome to join the event. We've wheeled with Jeeps in the past before so I don't think that would be a problem, I'm sure the other guys would feel the same. As for yourself, being a club member is not a requirement, you would fall under the potential club member category I suppose lol. Congrats on your purchase and keep your eyes open in the next week or so for the official announcement with times and everything. Where are you located?

Chicago Noth Side.... Dad and the Jeep can't go, so It'll be me and maybe one of my buds riding shotgun.

 

I'm not sure if I'm in or out yet. Sunday is the only day I have to spend with my wife and I'm still working on convincing her we should go. We've been a little burned out lately and I have to work on Saturday, so it's going to be a little tight.

 

The weekends weather for Attica is 60% chance of rain for Sunday. Never been there. How bad would this make the trails?

 

Well, for somebody that hasn't off-roaded before, it may be a little tricky. I've only gone in dry weather. I'll see if HummerMike can hop on here and answer some questions. He's the president of the club. I'm still not sure if I'm going until tomorrow.
