Mark your calendars for the FOOD DRIVE in North Adams.

EC4WDA Four Wheel Food Drive, Saturday November 1st.
Meeting place: National Guard Armory, Ashland St, North Adams, Ma
Meeting time is 9am, departing to the trails by 11am.

On Saturday, November 1st, 2008, the Berkshire4Wheelers and East Coast 4 Wheel Drive Association, Northeast Region, will be holding their annual Four Wheel Food Drive food collection and off-road trail ride to benefit the Northern Berkshire Community Action Coalition food pantry. Attendees will donate non-perishable food items in the morning and then head out into the Berkshire hills for guided trail rides.. Coffee and donuts will be provided as well.
Supermarket gift cards for Big Y and Stop & Shop will be accepted as well.

Please be ready for technical/equipment inspections. Nothing beyond the basics required on any organized trail ride. Take a look at your straps and recovery points BEFORE you show up with defective sub-par equipment please.
There will be different levels of trail difficulty available for all comers, however our emphasis is on attendance and giving. Be reasonable about how difficult your rig can handle. As you arrive you will be parked with a group for EASY, MODERATE or DIFFICULT… not by what trail you feel like doing. I expect 40+ rigs and 100+ people to attend. So the more cooperation we get the better it will come off..
Please make a point to attend, or give a donation to your buddy who is going.
This is one staple event that keeps us in a good relationship with the towns up there and we kick-ass every year.. lets make it another great season-closer!!

please pass this on to all your members and post on any appropriate sites/forums that it's not on yet.
all are welcome to attend this event regardless of membership or affiliation.
thanks and we'll see you there!!

EDIT:  Right now, I am planning on attending.  For those leaving from the Groton area, we will most likely meet at the Groton Town House around 6 am on Saturday.  At least that's about when I'll be leaving.   ::)

rocket:
Any idea of when it will be over?

Axle:
I would expect the trail rides will last a couple of hours, barring any problems.  Then you add on the 2 hour drive home.  So you could possibly be home by 1700ish.

smaug1911:

But teh estimated time is closer to 2hrs 45min from my house.
