I have spoke to trailx, and have gotten the ok to do this. The plan is to start doing fall TECORE in ky this year. If this pans out could be a regular thing. I will get all proposed tracks and campsite rates and what not over the next couple months. Most likely looking into sept-October time frame. If no interest we can squash the idea. The tentative location will be in slade, ky. This will also be available for anyone from stock to built. Depending on group size and builds will determine what trails we run. I am going to do my best to be a good host. If y’all want T-shirt’s or something else please let me know and we can see what can be done, I have an awesome guy that is local to me.

Josh, sounds cool! I imagine some of the midwest/indy guys might be interested. I know the drive all the way out to GWNF is quite long for them.

Depending on what I've got going on that time of year, I'll say my attendance is tentative. Hope you get a good turn out!

Post up a link to your past travels, or at least post a picture or two of some of the trails / views / campsites.

How would you pronounce TKYORE? :zombie:

So are these just legal two tracks and such in a state forest?

Age limit?

Yup, I'm in! Let me know what I can do to help.

Side note, we have a guy here that does shirts. It helps support the site so its a win win.

Side note 2, I suggest we revive the name MORA (Midwest Offroad Adventure). I think we are far enough removed from that fateful 1st trip into banjo country that we can use the name again without striking fear in the minds of the attendee's.

Cp, the pictures shown are county roads in the area. So vehicle needs to be fully licensed and insured. I will have my kids with me me. So no age limit.

Regulator, I will find said person who does the shirts and touch base with them. Just tossing out ideas at the moment, plus have to see costs and what not.

Also regulator, possibly on the name, or just make another event in the area. Which I’m not opposed to

Dang I wish my roads were like that!

Also I mean to attend, as in can I attend as a high school student with parental permission?

For me, if you have a license and insured you can attend. It would probably be best that you have permission and that your parents know where you are. I trust you can make big boy decisions. Cell service is 0 in some areas. Other then that it’s cool with me if you attend. The future of exploring and off-roading is in the younger generations hands. Sound good to you?

Oooh, I forgot about MORA. That would probably get some people's attention.

Caleb, we don't care about your parental permission, but you should. We've had young guys before. Just be prepared, and keep one of their credit cards on hand just incase, hahaha.

Absolutely your call Josh. What's your target market? KY is kinda east coast, and kinda midwest. Grey zone.

TECORE KY sounds a little slippery, name it after, if it rains and everyone is sliding around KY would be a fitting name! Just messing around, whichever seems fine.

After a bit of thinking, we will go with MORA and leave TECORE for the spring event in GWNF.

For those that come with more complex build, there will be areas along the way that have deeper holes and ruts, that us lower guy will bypass. Feel free to take them.

There are spots that will cause you to be off camber and cause you to 3 wheel. There is a bypass to those as well.

If you are stock height, you can make it, just have to chose your lines carefully. I know this as I have done this stock, bypasses and what not become your friend.

For the rigs that are stock you will bottom out be prepared for that. As I think of more I will list more

If you're on the Facebook off-road trailblazer page, you should post a link. If not, Rob can probably do it for you.
