I had an idea for an event to be held be my club ( not a club in the old fashion sense since there is no elections, but there is only like five of us anyway) the Xtreme Wheelers. We are thinking of holding an Navigation Rally. I just want to see who would be interested in coming to an event like this if we were to hold one.
I have lots of phone calls to make to see if I can do it, but I was thinking of holding it within Montmorency County around and within the Atlanta Trail system. Now I know some of you might be thinking this is a bad idea already, but remember that it is a Navigation Rally, so its about finding the check points with basically a set of coordinates and a map and/or GPS unit. All rules of the trail and rules of the road must followed and so on, lots of rules to make up and there should be no speeding or recklessness. Its about using your head and your navigational skills, not speed, but the best time wins.
I have lots to figure out and things to think about for it, so before you run me down about how I can control the speed thing ( I will have it all figured out and I already have a good start in my head, soon to be on paper) or tell me I am a bad influence for wheeling. This is all about navigation! Not driving like a ?bad word?. Everyone knows Atlanta is an easy, easy trail, and the road surrounding them are not real rough, but the event would be open to all trucks and SUVs that are four wheel drive, teams of two, driver and navigator. (GPS unit highly suggested)
Just think Navigation and Brain Power if you would be interested in doing such an event. Or let me know if you would not be interested in such an event. I want to know if this is something people would be interested in doing or not. I need feed back to determine if I will even have such an event.
Thanks!
