A MESSAGE FROM YOUR COORDINATOR The Uwharrie National Forest and surrounding areas were favorite stomping grounds of Native Americans for at least five thousand years and possibly longer. Their legacy and artifacts to future generations include, but aren't limited to: arrowheads, spearheads, pottery fragments, ancient campsites, and fish-traps. Right below the Uwharrie National Forest is one of the historic Mississippian culture's east coast ceremonial centers called Town Creek Indian Mound. The archaeology on the mound began in the 1930s and some amazing discoveries have been made there over the years. It's well worth anyone interested and unfamiliar with the area to visit. HOW DO I GET THERE? Uwharrie Outdoor Events Center (UEOC), 4026 NC Highway 109 North, Uwharrie, NC 27371. Travel south on North Carolina Highway 109 from Thomasville, NC approximately 35 minutes.

Trail Descriptions- CB Base Station-also Channel 27 Busted Yoke Trail JJUSA Group 1 Color: Black CB: 27 Trail Rating 7-8 (Uwharrie National Forest) You will be put to the test on this trail made famous by all of the most difficult obstacles (Gatekeeper, the Ledges, Three Path Hill, and Slick Rock to name a few) located on the Daniel, Dickie Bell, and if time permits, Dutch John trails that make up a part of the Uwharrie National Forest OHV area. The Broken Yoke trail includes several rock ledges, and numerous boulder/rock fields, and hill climbs that will require precise tire placement and the proper momentum to successfully work your way through. Most of the bolder/rock fields, and hill climbs have multiple routes, but even the easier routes will test your driving skill and your Jeep s capabilities. You will find very little mud on this trail, but add a little precipitation and the some of the easier hill climbs, off camber sections, and tight areas around the boulders and trees will become much more interesting. The trail is not for the faint of heart, but when completed you will have some great memories, photos and more to share with your friends and family. (One locker and 33 inch tires with a couple of inches of lift are a minimum requirement for this trail) These are the most difficult public off road trails in the state of North Carolina. When you look up Uwharrie National forest on YouTube you will find dozens of videos of obstacles on these trails. We will start on Dickey Bell with a scenic trail ride to our first obstacle, the Little Daniel Hill Climb. This climb is steep with large holes, big rocks and limited traction if you take the most difficult route. The alternate route is just as steep and still has a fair number of holes and boulders. We will continue on Dickey Bell with plenty of opportunities to take in the beauty of the National Forest, while giving your Jeep an opportunity to stretch its legs. After a quick pit stop, we will head to the beginning of Daniel where we will begin with the ledges, also known as the "The Gatekeeper," since there is not an easy button (no bypass) to get over this obstacle. A short distance up the trail is the 3 Path Hill Climb; Hard, Harder and Hardest depending on the path you choose. You may get a little HMMWV on your tires! You ll get the full story on that one when we get there. After a short downhill that will test your hill descent abilities over obstacle we will come to Slick Rock Slabs which is a nice place for a group photo and an opportunity for your Jeep to play. Time permitting we will travel to Poser Rock for some additional photo opportunities. (One locker and 33 inch tires with a couple of inches of lift are a minimum requirement for this trail) Tour de Forest Group 2 Color: Blue CB: 15 Trail Rating: 3-4 (Uwharrie National Forest) Take in the beauty of the Uwharrie National Forest as you spend the day navigating several of the OHV trails. This trail ride is the best way to see Uwharrie National Forest with easier trails. Enjoy the fall colors as you encounter hill ascents and descents along with some rocks and off-camber obstacles. After lunch you and your Jeep will conquer a challenging entrenched hill climb with rocks to contend with near the top. Time permitting the group will stop for photos at Poser Rock. These trails are the easiest of the ones in the Forest. 4 Lo and all terrain tires will be needed. (JEEP LIBERTY, CHEROKEE, COMPASS, PATRIOT, GRAND CHEROKEE and COMMANDER may have clearance challenges and aftermarket allterrain tires are recommended) Sherwood Forest Trail Group 4 Color: Green CB: 25 Trail Rating 4-5 (BIG CREEK) Join us in a ride through Big Creek, where the scenery and experience brings thoughts of Sherwood from the Robinhood stories. With a picturesque wood setting, Sherwood has everything the Uwharrie National Forest has to offer, from ascents and descents, to off camber and rock gardens and leisurely, but very tight, technical trails in between. This trail was rated a 4-5 so not extreme, but a little challenging at times. There are "Winch" hill climbs at Sherwood that are very challenging and if you so choose to attempt them you must have a winch (hence the moniker). There are also some large rocks and rock gardens. We suggest that you have "Rock Sliders" or even good Nerf Bars. Plastic stock step rails stand a chance of being damaged. These are not required, but recommended. There are some obstacles that offer us a chance to get out and enjoy viewing challenging attempts if you would like to watch or take pics. We look forward to The Dirty D's! Group 3 Color: Red CB: 20 Trail Rating: 7-8 (Uwharrie National Forest) spending the day with you exploring and traversing Sherwood! We aim to show you a fun, challenging,

and memorable experience that. Our crew of I4WDTA instructors is some of the most knowledgeable guys in the business. Guides have many years of experience in the trail system. More personal hands on coaching and spotting will be provided with this group. Thank you for joining us! (4 Lo and 31 All Terrain Tires are a minimum requirement) Roshambo Trail Group 5 Color: Purple CB: 30 Trail Rating 7-8 (BIG CREEK) We invite you to experience Big Creek Advanced Training Grounds run by Uwharrie Off-Road Training Center. Big Creek offers tight wooded trails with beautiful scenery in every direction, but don t let the beauty fool you. With trails named Rattlesnake, Boulder, Sluice, and Bucket List this trail system can bite back!!! Natural rock obstacles will require precise tire placement to pick the perfect line and keep your rig moving forward. Intense hill climbs will require forethought and proper driving techniques and could still leave you winching to make the top. Tight wooded turns and off camber trails will be abundant throughout this property keeping drivers on their toes. One of UORTC s certified I4WDTA instructors will be available for spotting and guidance during the trail ride. (Due to the intense nature of this trail system the following vehicle requirements are a must: 33 tires, moderate lift, and a winch. One locker is also advisable!) Warrior s Playground Group 6 Color: Brown CB: 35 Trail Rating 5-6 (Grand Overland District) Located on a privately owned piece of property close to the Uwharrie National Forest and utilized to train some of this country s most elite Special Forces in the skills of off-road driving and recovery. The trails include hill climbs, boulders and man-made obstacles. You will test the flexibility of your suspension because of the strategic placement of the obstacles. If it is wet, the challenges get even greater due to the slick nature of the red clay predominate in the area. You might find a mud hole or two, even if it is dry. This trail is rated at 5-6, but that is in good weather. The property does boast some beautiful scenery. Trees are sparse, and shade is hard to find, but that opens up the views. You will be riding amongst scrub brush, saplings, soybean fields and some really nasty blackberry bushes. You will visit Ledger Rock, a wonderfully picturesque picnic area on the property gold prospecting hole on the property. (33 tires, a mild lift and at least one limited slip differential is required to play where the warriors play) Haunted Trails Group 7 Color: Orange CB: 40 Trail Rating 3-4 (Grand Overland District) Located on a privately owned piece of property close to the Uwharrie National Forest known as Grand Overland District, used for beginner training classes for civilian and military groups. Trails here provide moderate hill climbs, slight off camber trails, and uneven trail crossings that can easily be accomplished in stock vehicles. Beautiful scenic views will greet you throughout the trail system and provide great picturesque settings for family photos or group photos. Lunch will be taken on the beautiful ledger rock where a rock outcropping extends into the river. An I4WDTA instructor will be on hand to provide assistance when needed.(4 Lo and all-terrain tires are mandatory) Lake View Trail Tour Group 8 Color: White CB: 33 Trail Rating 1-2 (Uwharrie National Forest) This is a great way to see what the Badin Lake Recreation Area has to offer! From the campgrounds, to water access to rough Forest Service gravel roads. Come check out the Deep Water Trail. Drive fairly steep downhill to the gorgeous reservoir between the dams. Also see the beautiful King s Mountain Point and have lunch next to the pristine Badin Lake. Learn about the B25 Mitchell in the bottom of the lake and check out the views! View the beautiful Haltiwanger Retreat and Maple Lodges on Lake Tillery. Enjoy the slow, easier drive and come back refreshed! where you can walk out into the Uwharrie River on natural rock formations. There is even an abandoned

TRAIL USAGE AND INFORMATION WATER CROSSINGS Some Jamborees may have water crossings and water holes. Many of these crossings and holes offer a bypass, if you decide to go around. It is very important to watch and listen to your trail guide.. When driving in deep water, GO VERY SLOW! If your engine gets wet and stalls, DO NOT try to start it as you may cause serious engine damage. For additional tips on water crossings, please refer to your copy of Mark A. Smith s Guide to Safe, Common Sense Off-Road Driving, which is available for download on our website. A NOTE ON LAND USAGE Many Jeep Jamboree USA events are held on private lands with the consent of landowners, or on public lands through special use permits. In some cases, Jamboree trail groups are granted access to trail areas, which are closed to all other vehicular access during the year. Please be aware that access to these trail areas is allowed only by guided JJUSA groups during the scheduled Jeep Jamboree trail rides. Individual Jamboree guests returning later to drive in these areas on their own do so in violation of JJUSA s land use agreements and endanger future Jamboree usage of these restricted trails as well as being removed from the Jamboree without a refund. Thank you for your cooperation in assuring Jamboree access to some of America s most spectacular backcountry. Also, please note that while we trim back as much brush as possible, we are limited by Federal, Tribal and Private landowners to the amount acceptable by each entity. PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY! Travel responsibly on designated roads and trails or in permitted areas. Respect the rights of others including private property owners and all recreational trail users, campers and others to allow them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Educate yourself by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, planning for your trip, taking recreation skills classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment safely. Avoid sensitive areas such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitat and sensitive soils from damage. Do your part by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.

TRAIL RATING SYSTEM Every Jamboree trail is rated from 1 (easiest) to 10 (the most difficult). These ratings are based on the over trail, not just on one or two tough spots. Rain can increase ratings by one or two points. Please remember, all vehicles are subject to vehicle check prior to trail departure. Numerically higher rated Jamborees are more likely to result in vehicular damage. 1-2 Obstacles and terrain are relatively easy to navigate. In optimum weather conditions, some trails may not require continual use of four-wheel drive (4WD). 3-5 Moderately demanding. Challenge for novice drivers. Obstacles may include: mud holes, boulders, and streams. Requires 4WD with 4-LO. 6-7 Demanding. Challenge for most skill levels. Mud holes get deeper, boulders get larger, and climbs get steeper. Requires 4WD with 4-LO. 8-9 Very demanding. Likelihood of getting stuck is high. Mud holes may be deep and rock climbing is more arduous. Lifts and lockers are helpful. Requires 4WD with 4-LO. 10 Extremely demanding. Reserved for the toughest off-road trip in the U.S.A. the Rubicon Trail. Requires 4WD with 4-LO, front and rear lockers, skid plates, rock rails and an aftermarket rear differential cover. Rubicon Trail Jeep Jamboree is limited to YJ s, TJ s and JK models only. Jeep Renegade, Patriot, Compass, Liberty, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, or Commanders are not allowed. During registration participants will have the opportunity to discuss the trails, their driving experience and vehicle capabilities with the trail guides. Guides will work with participants for trail placement. RAIN MAY INCREASE TRAIL RATINGS 1 OR 2 POINTS, ESPECIALLY WITH STREET TIRES. FRIENDLY REMINDERS Before and During Your Trip BEFORE YOU LEAVE Waivers will be collected at the Jamboree during registration. Please read, sign and bring the completed waiver with you. All passengers in your Jeep vehicle must sign and date this waiver. A waiver for participants under the age of 18 years old must be signed and dated by a parent or the minor s legal guardian. REGISTRATIONS, ADDING, DELETING, OR CHANGING OF PASSENGERS In order to give accurate counts to our caterer for the meals, pay for land use and permit fees, all new registrations of vehicles, adding, deleting or changing of passengers must be completed (2) two weeks prior to the Jamboree date. We will no longer be able to accommodate any onsite registrations. This is for both adding of Jeeps or passengers. Please note that registration prices are per person, not per Jeep vehicle. Event T-Shirts are included in your registration fee. You must pre-order event T-Shirts at the time of your online or phone registration. Pre-ordered shirts will be given to you during onsite registration. GET CONNECTED Join the discussion group for just one or multiple Jeep Jamborees on Facebook. This is a great way to start conversing with fellow participants and trail guides before you even get to the Jamboree. Ask questions, share information and photos before, during and after your great adventure. Click on discussion groups on the Jeep Jamboree USA homepage and join for FREE. WHILE YOU ARE THERE Name Badges and Wristbands When you register on-site, you will be given one nametag and a wristband per participant. Please wear both of these while at the event. They are verification of registration. Those without a wristband will not be served meals or allowed on the trails. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHO CAN I BRING? Whoever you want! As long as they each have a required seat belt in your Jeep 4 4. Bringing pets is strongly discouraged. If your pet must attend, you must submit a pet waiver during registration. WHERE DO I SLEEP ON A JEEP JAMBOREE? Participants are responsible for arranging their own lodging. Included in this event itinerary is a list of accommodations. Be sure to mention you re attending a Jeep Jamboree when making your reservation. WHAT DOES THE JAMBOREE FEE COVER? Your fee covers all necessary permits, land-use fees, experienced guides for the entire trip, an event T-shirt and three meals on both Friday and Saturday ( Select adventurers include evening meals only). NOTE: Meals vary. Regretfully, no accommodations can be made for special diets or dietary restrictions.
