    What is autism? “Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe”. (from Autism Speaks website)

    Description of Event

    • All participants will be required to sign the AMG “waiver and release agreement”.

    Hey that's great. Someone put in a lot of time to make this possible. Great job. I hope someone will have some pictures they can share with us of the event.

    That is just a hint xjjeepthing. You may have to compete against Hummers so don't hurt their feelings too badly. If you have a H2 Recovery Team sticker make sure it is visible so you can help them get their 40,000 vehicle unstuck.

    Thought I remembered that sticker, thus the mention above of them. You be safe and have fun. This is an excellent cause that gets way to little attention.

    I had a blast today, unbelievable. It was so awesome to see 2 clubs 1 Jeeps and 1 Hummers get together and raise alot of money for a good cause by doing the thing we all love, Wheelin. It wasn't about Jeepers hating Hummers or vise versa. I hate a lot of pics to load. Im exhausted.

    Heres a few pics. Took alot, some turned out well others didn't.
    The Chippewa Offroad Area is first class. All the roads leading to and from trails are paved. Remember this is used for the testing of and teaching offroad techniques to H1,H2,H3 and military Humvees. We got to experience everything. Simple Trail ride,Mud,Water,Rocks,decents,inclines and everything in between.



















    All done.

    Anyone need to be recovered? Hummers included! I saw some relatively stock looking rigs and they seemed to do OK. Did you guys raise much for the charity?
