Wife and I did it last year and had an absolute blast. Met so many great Bronco owners during the day’s adventures.

Same - my wife and I did it this time last year and we had an awesome time. She was too spooked to drive but she enjoyed seeing what the Bronco can do. Guides are fantastic, trails are nice, people were great, all around good time.

I also had a blast learning about the G6's, their capabilities while on trails. Y I u learn a lot in a beautiful off road setting.

Same here. My wife and I did it last summer. Tremendous time. Highly recommend you stay at the RT Lodge. Great location, and the restaurant and bar are awesome.

I went in Sept 25 - it was a great experience. I took some time to drive up and down the Tail of The Dragon. Spent some time on the 'easy' trail at Windrock. I have a stock outer banks so Windrock was very challenging. Lots of rocks and clearance needed - but I survived with only a couple of loud scrapes. Next time i visit i'll rent a SxS or upgrade my Bronco.

While the New Hampshire Off-Roadeo is just a few hours from home, last October I drove my Bronco to Tennessee. (Just like @Fastmc25 , my wife has no interest in off roading.) I wanted to see the Smokey Mountains but still learn techniques on terrain similar to my area (mountains, rocks, trees, streams, and mud).

All their Broncos are automatics -- and mostly 4-doors. It took me a few minutes to get used to the auto-driver's "left footed brake" technique, but I was lucky to get the one 2-door in our group. I wanted to understand navigating tight spaces with the shorter wheel base.

I know you guys will have a great time. I had a blast with lots of fun people and excellent instructors. I am not an experienced off roader, but I learned from this. Just a few weeks later, I was at Armor Ditch (in NH) with other Bronco6G forum members doing what I was just taught in Tennessee.

Good time with the spousal unit, we went last July. Do IT!!!
We stayed at the Dancing Bear, they have nice cabins and a super nice restaurant.
The meal was pricey, but so worth it.
It is near Pigeon Forge, so you can make a full trip out of it.

It's been so dry, that the rain is much needed. Less of a dust bowl if you are in the middle/end of the caravan.

Food for thought:
Do you ever wonder what your wife's reaction would've been if it was you who didn't come out of the mud hole running?
We're doing the TN BOFR Saturday May 2nd.
55% chance of rain.
I'm wondering if my wife will want to drive.
