This week we're sharing Trail 16 with two more Badge of Honor trails coming (along with a special wheeling video outside of the park). Check it out and let us know what you think!

First on our list of trails from Nomad Offroad's trip to Windrock ORV Park is Trail 16. Windrock was an amazing trip for everybody on the Nomad crew and it w...

Whether in Texas or beyond, we are so thankful for our Nomad family. Over the last year, our members have become a little more spread out with some traveling the country and others finding new opportunities. We've lost a dear friend, grieved for him, and carried on as we know he would have wanted. We've grown as individuals, as a family, and as a group.

Thank you all for joining us on the first leg of our Grand Nomad Adventure. Thank you for supporting our group and the people within it. Thank you for helping make this year much brighter than we could have expected.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Some really amazing builds at the Ultimate Adventure this year. Four Wheeler did a really interesting breakdown on each of them and it's definitely worth the read if you're looking for ideas of what to do next.

Ultimate Adventure 2021 is ongoing and the Motortrend guys have written up their thoughts on wheeling in our neck of the woods. Would have been amazing to be out there with them, but maybe we can be in the future.

Nomad camp at Windrock was the place to be! We can't wait to get together and do this again.

Mason has shared his take on another National Park to our blog. This time, he's giving everyone the rundown on Rocky Mountain National Park. Check it out and let us know what you think!

John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" has a special place in my heart. I feel a certain kinship with the protagonist of its narrative and, by extension, Denver himself. Having grown up a "flatlander", my closest exposure to mountainous terrain was the Ozarks. While they have their own beauty that begs...

Thank you to the guys at Carlton Customs for keeping us trail ready, even 1000 miles from home. See y'all at King of the Hammers!

In the mean time, Gulches ORV and Uwharrie National Forest here we come!

Hey, guess what? 100 days until Hammertown opens (Jan 27, 2022)

This is a long one, but valuable info to all Jeepers who plan to go to either Stoney Lonesome OHV in Alabama or Windrock Park in Tennessee. We went to both parks this week to get all 6 Badges of Honor at the two parks. We had an interesting experience, and want to share our take on each park.

Windrock:
The park has 300 miles of trails. We drove through much of the park and quickly realized that at least 200 miles of trails are basically dirt roads. Everything rated "Easy" is a dirt road. Everything rated "Moderate" is a dirt road with a few rocks. Only when you get to the "Difficult" trails do you begin to find obstacles. We did have some minor damage on one difficult trail due to the slippery mud, but everything else was pretty simple. We tried to find "Extreme" trails we could do on the map, but almost every trail with this rating said no Jeeps.
Additionally, Windrock is FULL of side-by-sides. We saw about a dozen Jeeps the entire time we were there. We believe this park was created for SXS and that is why it is rated the way it is. However, the RV campground connected to the park is one of the nicest we've stayed at. If it wasn't for the incredibly loud SXS driving through during the night, it would get a 10 out of 10.

Stoney Lonesome OHV:
This is a very very small park. Also seemingly built for SXS, but with the opposite problem that Windrock has. Two of the Jeep BOH trails here are virtually impassable in Jeeps. The park says they have recently been washed out, but they require serious mods and recovery gear to complete. The moderate trails (labeled "Advanced" at this park) were fun and a good Sunday drive. For comparison, the access roads at this park were more difficult than most of the Moderate trails at Windrock. This park is so small, a person could complete every passable trail in two days at this park.
The RV park, was also fine here. Smaller, and not as luxurious, but also not as packed, so a lot quieter.

For reference, every Jeep in our group was sitting on a minimum 4-inch lift with 37-inch tires and lockers, among other mods.

We are aware that not everyone will have the same experience we did, but we were just not that impressed with either park. Our favorite park remains Hot Springs ORV park by a significant margin.

Proof that Ramchargers can do more than break down at the trailhead. We hope to see Ragnarok out at Moab one day, too.

People have been asking for more about Mason and Amanda's life as Nomads, particularly what the camper looks like. Here's what home looks like for a full time Nomad, and where we all stay on wheeling trips! Can you believe this thing holds ten of us?!

In case you haven't seen it, there was another horrific accident on Black Bear Pass in Colorado. Having seen this trail first hand (and having been part of a very close call recovery) we know the trail is no joke. Be careful out there and remember than an easy trail can sometimes have expert level consequences. We're glad everyone survived this, especially the poor doggo.

Currently, the automotive industry is all the rage about crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. There are many reasons for the craze, but some owners praise them for the added safety. Although, they can also only do so much...

Looks like the Mint 400 is moving to March - one month after King of the Hammers wraps up. Would be really cool if we had some folks on the West Coast to get footage of both races. 😉

They call it, unofficially, the Great American Off-Road Race, but the stage name for it is Mint 400. We’re talking about a competition for some of the world’s most rugged vehicles, taking place in Nevada ever since 1968.

We have a blog, y'all! Mason and Amanda have begun writing about their Grand Nomad Adventure, providing insights into their experiences. Today, Mason shared his thoughts (and some really neat photos) on Yellowstone National Park. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Hi, y'all. Mason here to start a new series of blog posts where I share my opinions about the National Parks we're seeing on our grand nomad adventure. I want to kick this off with a controversial one, because there's a seeming lack of honesty out there about these places. Considering Yellowstone is...

This is why we send the most built Jeep first.

How do we prep to hit the trails? Camera equipment, recovery gear, mud boots, sunglasses, and of course, a trail snack. Not pictured: the cooler full of the good stuff. Redbird State Recreation Area here we come!

It was a good summer for us!
