i'm not wheeling with these people, but just seeing what goes on during and after their events. there is also a Big Dogs event held at this location a few times a year. it's not a Jeep only event, but 80%+ Jeeps. more of the same. excessively loud music, beer cans wall to wall and lots of trail trash afterwards.
this location is at The Cove located in Gore, VA. it's a great site and beautiful property, but it is pretty clear the owners don't have much respect for the land. the large roll back dumpster is always overflowing with trash and never have i seen anyone doing trail clean up duty. not even any of the clubs. so i don't think they lead by example very well and it only lends itself to other people treating it the same way.
again i am not saying all Jeep owners have this mentality, but from what i have observed first hand they are far from reponsible. i've never seen ANY rover event come close to any of the shit these people do. maybe it's isolated to just this area, maybe it's not. regardless they represent their community in a poor way.
when we went to MAR for the cleanup there was really nothing to clean up. i mean i don't think i saw a bottle or can the whole time i was there.
The Cove is just littered with shit all over the trails.........once the summer hits most of it won't be visible.
