Listen Later

In this episode, JD, Randi, and The Pope™ sit down with Jeff Bieber, Lorey Beard, and Tim Nelson from the Desert Roads and Trails Society (DRATS) to talk about the Winter 4x4 Jamboree in Sand Hollow, Utah. They share the story of how the event grew from humble beginnings into one of the most respected offroad gatherings in the region, raising over $800,000 for trail conservation. The conversation drives into the challenges and rewards of organizing such a significant event, the unique experience of wheeling through snow-covered red rocks, and volunteers' critical role in keeping trails open and accessible. With personal stories from the trails, insights on balancing fun with stewardship, and a look at what’s next for the event, this episode captures the heart of the off-roading community and why Winter 4x4 remains a can’t-miss experience for off-roaders of all levels.
