Please Note:  Club trips are designed for licensed vehicles and often enter and exit at different locations. Trailered unlicensed off road vehicles could therefore violate motor vehicle laws when returning to the start. Be sure to consider this if you intend to drive an unlicensed off road vehicle. Official Club Radios are GRMS channel 19 for travel to-from an event and 5 for during an event. NOTE, subject to change by event leader.

Club Meeting

Wednesday October 8th, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Moose Lodge #1548, 2200 Pratt Street, Longmont, CO 80501
Open to all members and guests.

The lodge is one street west of main, between 21st and 23rd on Pratt Street. We'll be in the middle hall. Folks who arrive early will need to enter at the main entrance. In the lobby the rear left double door is the middle hall. The front door is a key card door but there is a button for the bar tenders to open the door. Those that arrive early can prop the door open on east side of the middle hall so folks can park on the east side of the building and enter through that door.

  • Trivia was done by Gordon H. Jeep introduced the CJ5 with a set of luxury and styling features aimed at making the rugged Jeep more appealing for daily city use. This package was called the Tuxedo Park. It featured significant chrome trim, unique interior materials like calf-grain vinyl, and a column-mounted shifter. Over the years Jeep introduced a Tuxedo Park Mark I, II, III and IV. Question: Which U.S. president’s inaugural parade included 20 red, 20 white, and 20 blue Jeep Tuxedo Parks pulling floats?
    Answer: Lyndon Baines Johnson on January 20, 1965. Mark G was the first to get the correct answer.Jeep 1
