It was another great event in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. This year’s second annual Jeep Jamboree was attended by people representing 13 states and 3 countries including Canada and India that showed up for a weekend of wheeling in Wyoming.

Wheeling in Wyoming has a way of taking a person back in time, being out on the trails….seeing the scenery and wildlife is what many of us grew up with while spending weekends in our parents Jeeps on trips to the mountains for a camping getaway. This event is a way of getting back to the simple roots of what wheeling and weekends used to be in a time gone by, a time when families used to spend weekends camping in tents, fishing in streams and having conversations and laughing around a campfire.

Those that attended this event were treated to the hospitality of the owners and staff at the Bear Lodge Resort http://bearlodgeresort.com/  as well as the scenic setting at elevations between 8,500 and 13,000 feet. The folks at Bear Lodge are used to catering to large groups for events like this and really know how to put on a good feed and keep the participants entertained at the end of the day. The plan for Friday night’s dinner was to be an outdoor BBQ and a bonfire with a local musician playing guitar by the fire but the plans were changed due to weather, even with the last minute changes the staff was right on it and made quick arrangements to get the group fed. Last year’s event had live music as well with 3 bands and a stage with a dance floor…these folks really do go all out to make it a weekend of fun for the Jeep Jamboree participants.

One thing this part of the state and country are known for are the wide open spaces, the wildlife and the beauty of the outdoors. While out on the trails the groups were able to see moose, deer, elk and even wild horses out in Wyoming’s wilderness. Not far from the famed Yellowstone National park this is a great event to tie into that summer vacation for the family to get in some wheeling, camping and one of the country’s best national parks .

This is an event that is growing in popularity because the word is spreading about how well the food, the ambiance and the experience are. Many are amazed at how the mountains seem to go on and on and the trails just seem to wind in and around various lakes, historic spots like Tie Flume which has sat in place for more than 100 years telling its story of an era gone by. The Wyoming event is as much of a vacation destination for many as it is a spot to take in another Jeep Jamboree to see what yet another state and part of the country considers “wheeling”.

If you haven’t been to or are just now hearing about the Jeep Jamboree in Wyoming I would highly suggest you add it to your list of those to attend. It is one that will certainly leave a lasting impression on you!
