WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT AOAA:
You will drive past the entrance to the pavilion area to the overflow parking lot at the back of the parking lot. Upon entering the overflow area someone from J.E.E.P. will be checking you in. Please arrive with a full tank of gas and bring your own packed lunch and non-alcoholic beverages for the day.

CHECK IN 8:30am-9:30am:
We will check you in right in your Jeep, no need to go to the trailhead. If you arrive early and we are not there, please wait outside the overflow area. We will verify everyone in your Jeep has signed a waiver. Please have everyone, including all passengers, sign the waiver no later than 3 days before the event as we verify the list before the event. If everyone in your Jeep does not have a signed waiver before that date this will delay the check in process. We will then verify the driver's and all the passengers' registration with first and last names, and the group you signed up for. Once you are checked in, we will show you where to line up. You will drive around the back of the event field and line up directly behind your guide. Please be sure to arrive before 9:30am, check in will end at 9:30am sharp.

PREPARE YOUR JEEP 8:30am-9:30am:
Once you are parked in your group, please immediately prepare your Jeep for the day by putting your Jeep in 4WD Low, airing down your tires, disconnecting sway bars, etc. If you have any questions on how to get ready for the day, please ask your guide, they are there to help.

GUIDE MEETING 9:30am-9:45am:
All guides will meet together for a quick meeting.

DRIVER MEETING 9:45am-10:00am:
We will have a short drivers meeting to go over a few details for the day.

COOLER CHECK 10:00am-10:15am:
After the drivers meeting please return to your Jeep and place your cooler open next to your Jeep so the AOAA staff can inspect it for alcohol. Alcohol is strictly prohibited on the AOAA property. This will save us from having to go through the cattle shoot and get us on the trails faster.

HIT THE TRAILS 10:15am-4:00pm(ish):
Your guide will go over some important need to know information for the day and you will hit the trails!

TRAIL COMMUNICATION:
GMRS is the preferred form of communication for all trail guides. It is highly recommended to have a GMRS radio to be able to communicate with others in your group while on the ride. It is strongly recommended to have a radio, but it is not required. What is GMRS? The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed radio service for short-distance, two-way voice communications using hand-held radios & mobile radios.
