Same here! I’d be curious as well. Just got an email today for one near Park City.

I went to the 1st one last year in NY. They did have terrible rain and it was a muddy mess. I spent the weekend kinetic recovering a bunch of vehicles. It was still a very good time. JLR learned a lot from that event I bet. This year will be much bigger and better, supposedly. It will also be combined with Trophy and Trek somehow. Lots of activities. Don't expect a whole lot of actual trail riding. They will have the experience guys out there on a controlled course. You should be able to drive it with your defender. Here are some pics of last year. Hope to see you there

I also went to the first one. We caravaned from JLR headquarters in NJ. It was a muddy event !! But also fun. Not sure it would be worth a very long drive to attend though.

We’re going with our new 130, towing our Airstream and camping for the weekend. The venue looks very nice.

No idea what to expect once we get there, but the Jeep events were always a good time.

Was starting to plan a similar trip but learned that your trailer can't be more than 20'. That nixed the plans.

Ours is a 23, but Airstreams are always smaller because they base that measurement on true tongue to bumper length. In reality the shell is 20. We’re hoping they’re not going to be **** about it.
