Meanwhile, as we
were on our way back to the Discovery center, the other group
was touring the center, learning about the mountains and their
wildlife from the Rangers, and they also received a Honda motorcycle
demonstration as well as a fire demonstration. This kept the
kids happy and entertained until it was their turn in the
Awesome trail rigs! Once the first trail group was back, we
all ate lunch and had a lot of fun visiting with the kids and
each other. After a great lunch, everyone was grouped up to
watch a canine demonstration by one of the local Rangers. This
was very exciting for the kids, and the adults! Talk about
live action. We learned about how the dogs help the Rangers do
their jobs. The kids were in awe! Once finished, the second
group of kids were paired with their drivers for their turn on
the trail. After they finished the trail, all of the boys
thanked the drivers and volunteers for such a great day in the
forest. After goodbyes were said, they sadly started back to
their bus that would take them to their homes down the
mountain. With
day one completed, volunteers rested up for the next day when
the girls would get their turn. The events of the day were the
same, except all of the vehicles were driven by the ladies.
All the girls enjoyed the trip and talking with their female
drivers.
At the end of the long
weekend, the volunteers were exhausted but happy that they
were able to contribute to such a great event. Not only did
the children experience a great learning experience, but all
of the four wheelers were able to contribute in promoting a
very positive image for us all. I would like Thank everyone
involved, as I have kids myself, and my family has
participated in all three events so far. The coordinators did
a wonderful job, and I'm sure next year will be even better.
Also
note: This event is made possible each year by the countless
donations from several companies as well as our supporting
clubs. It's generosity like this that keeps our sport alive
and well, and just goes to show how great the people in the
sport are! Everybody keep up the great work, and I will see
you on the trails! Macgyver.
