What: New England Overland Outfitters 2016 Toys for Tots Drive – Overland Style!

When: 9:30am on Sunday – December 11, 2016

Where: Western Mass

Meeting Location: Lowe’s - 282 Russell St, Hadley, MA 01035

What to bring: Your street legal 4x4 vehicle of choice, a good attitude and most importantly a new, unwrapped toy or two!

Required Equipment:
- Spare tire & tools to change a flat (full-size spare)
- Front and rear tow points
- 31” or larger tires recommended
- Respect for the trails and others abilities

Recommended Equipment (in addition to the required list):
- Tire repair kit, and/or compressor
- Winch or come-along
- Vehicle specific parts + tools
- Warm clothing
- CB radio
- First aid kit, Fire extinguisher
- Hi-Lift, straps (no hooks on the straps!)
- Basic tool kit for your vehicle

What to Expect: We will be traveling on a mix of pavement and unmaintained town roads over the course of about 15-20 miles from start to finish. 4WD is required, bring something with modified ground clearance. Some of the roads are very flat and others are fairly rocky and washed out. This is considered a beginner style adventure but will offer fun for all degrees of built up rigs. Minor, if any, body damage is possible (Mostly due to woods pin-striping due to the roads being overgrown).

Agenda: We will be meeting at Lowe’s in Hadley, Ma at 9:30am Sunday morning and leaving there at 10am SHARP. We will head to our first road and into the woods to begin the adventure. We will traverse up some hills, down into some valleys and along streams as well as up a nice sections of a washed out unmaintained town road. We will conclude our trip at Element Brewing located at 16 Bridge St, Millers Falls, MA 01349.

We want to thank everyone who made it out to our first annual Toys for Tots Overland Style run today! We had over 40 toys donated, all going to an awesome cause.

We really appreciate those that just stopped by to drop toys off in the morning as well as those that participated in the adventure! We met a lot of new people and got to see some old ones.

PS: Post up any pictures from the run. I'll get mine up this evening.
