7:30 AM
Meet the Ford Off-Road team, (last year we did this at a local Ford Dealership) undergo a quick vehicle and equipment review checklist. Team guides will host a short session outlining the program flow, safety protocol, and upcoming activities, and answer any questions guests may have.
8:30 AM
Depart and drive a quick 25 minute west on I-80 before leaving the highway to begin the day's adventure, where attendees will hit the dirt and make scenic stops dictated by the interests and timing of the group. The day’s excursions will see the group led to a variety of stops and experiences along the way, including Antelope Springs, Rabbit Hole Springs, and the world-famous Black Rock Desert (home of the annual Burning Man festival). Throughout the day, the guides will take opportunities to highlight the features of the Ford vehicles at appropriate obstacles, scenic outlooks, and as participants encounter challenges and questions. Lunch will be held along the route giving participants time to talk to guides about their vehicle experiences and share their learnings and tips with their fellow Ford Owners.
4:00 PM
Bronco Owners will arrive at Black Rock Springs, the overnight destination and begin to set up camp. Our team will be on-hand to assist as needed, however participants will be encouraged to take ownership of their equipment and setup, while encouraged to trade tips and help the group. After camp set up is complete, everyone can enjoy the natural hot springs nearby for an overlanding ‘spa’ experience.
6:30 PM
Participants will get their first taste of overlanding as they gather for dinner as a group and get to know their fellow Ford Owners. After dinner everyone will enjoy an evening around the campfire complete with s’mores.
