BTB.E. is going on its first ever spring run! Since the club’s 2019 inception, we’ve only done late fall events with the tops up and lots of mud. This time around we plan on having the tops down with some dry land to conquer under the sun!

Plan:

Good idea to gas up the Jeeps and check all fluids/systems the night prior. The park has a walk-up diner with tons of options ~ pulled pork, chicken wraps, burgers, and something called the infamous Sasquatch Burger! Ordered a burger on the way out after the last trip and it was surprisingly pretty solid.

6:30 AM meet at Mariano’s ~ Northfield. It’s a 2.5 hour drive to the park in Attica, IN with a 1-hour time change into EST. If we leave at 6:45 AM with one stop along the way, we’ll arrive @ 10:30 AM EST, which gives us 8.5 hours of potential trail time.
