2010 Winter Snow Rides
HV4W members came out of hibernation to play in the snow and ice. We had some beautiful winter scenes, good CB chatter and a whole lot of fun. While it was only 11 degrees outside, we were invited by some nice local folk to warm up by their fireplace. Here are some photos from the three trails we were on.
2009 Food Drive and Toys4Tots Rides

In early December, the Eastern 4 Wheelers and Jeeps & Trucks 4x4 offered Toys-4-Tots rides at two private land trails.
