Check-In & First Day Of ‘Wheeling’ – Part One of Ultimate Adventure 2015!

Posted by

Whether Cro-Magnon Man or four-wheeling fiend, humans have, since the dawn of time searched out adventure to test their fortitude and endurance. Our near constant search for extreme 4×4 based adventure is what inspired Petersen’s 4 Wheel & Off-Road’s yearly summer gathering known as the Ultimate Adventure. This trip of epic proportions has led readers, aftermarket advertisers, a support crew of cronies and the magazine staff to off-road venues around the country for the past 16 years and is the pinnacle of off-road road-trips. This expedition combines long-distance road driving, hard-core wheeling, camping, exploring, comradery, vehicular failure and trailside repair, plus new for 2015, canoeing!?. This year’s UA had a summer camp (for adults) vibe and all campers were happy despite a few late nights and daily heavy rain.(it rained A LOT!) In the past we’ve waited months to show you a limited number of photos of the fun and action we have had on the UA in our monthly publication. Today will start in the beginning with shots of the check in and safety inspection and then our first off-road day of UA 2015 where we tore up the trails at Powerline Park in St. Clairsville, Ohio.

We hosted a contest where Roadkill fans sent us videos to convince us that they should be among the eight winners who would be flown on an all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles to visit the Roadkill headquarters, hang out with Roadkill hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan, and race against them in brand-new, 707-horsepower, Dodge SRT Hellcat-powered Chargers and Challengers as well as 645-horsepower Dodge Viper SRT supercars. The fun competition is a battle to win the Mike Finnegan-built titanium trophies as the fans are paired into teams for the figure 8 in Hellcat Chargers, the dragstrip in Hellcat Challengers, and the autocross in Viper SRTs. In the end, it’s really about the tire smoke. And don’t worry, there are still 12 episodes of regular Roadkill this season…the Roadkill Nation show is an extra, 13th episode for 2015. ...
