Maine Mountains Jeep Jamboree 2024


We attended the Maine Mountains Jeep Jamboree this year. It was bitterly cold at registration on Thursday, and it was raining for a time, but then a beautiful rainbow showed over the parking lot full of Jeeps.


Early Friday and Saturday morning, the mornings of the Jamboree, it is fun to see all the Jeeps lined up according to which trail they are heading out on. 



Then you head out towards your trail following your guide. 




There was a lot of mud. We all got stuck several times and needed to be wenched. 


I thought the tires looked exactly like chocolate doughnuts with all the mud caked on. 


We encountered several obstacles and had to spend quite a lot of time in the woods waiting for each Jeep to either make it through the obstacle OR be wenched out to try again. 


But the fall woods were beautiful and there were beautiful views.



We're thinking about which Jamboree to attend next year...
