My wife and I are planning on attending this event. It'll be the first time to a CORVA event, so I'm hoping that it is similar to a Cal4Wheel event.

I'm also on planning to attend this event again. And it's pretty similar to the Cal4 events. This one also has the poker run which every few miles you come to the game area and play your hand; alot of fun!
The up side to these events is that they help raise funds to keep public trails open that you and I and everyone else wheels on.

Another Beautiful Day in Truckhaven wheeling

Have to say it was an interesting day, I felt that there could have been a few more difficult runs added. Time wise it worked out to
5 1/2 hrs and half a tank of gas to do the 20 miles.

Attendence approx: 150 jeep, 25 Side x Sides, bunch of ATVs and Motorcycles +/-
Lots of familys with kids.

The Truckhaven Challenge is held in late January each year just west of Salton City, California. The terrain is primarily decomposing, dry mud hills with some sand washes and rocky sections thrown in for good measure. The area is laced with trails ranging from tight and twisty to steep and hairy. In other words, great off-roading!

It is in this ever-changing terrain that we mark an approximately 20 mile course (changing it each year) for the Saturday Poker Run. There will be several checkpoints. At each checkpoint you will draw a card to assemble a poker hand, and also participate in a “game of skill”. The top three winners of both the poker hands and game scores will all win great prizes! There will also be marked “Alternate” routes which will be much more difficult than the main route. These are for those folks really keen on abusing their vehicles! After the run we will have a BBQ dinner prepared by the Trailmasters Four Wheel Drive Club, and a drawing for great prizes donated by the off road industry!

My lonely campsite. Got there late Friday nite and couldn't find anyone I knew.

Safety check and starting line.

Only got a half mile in to the first "Hard Spot" and found this guy broken. Got to use my new winch and drag him out.
