What got you into Off-Roading?
My uncle got me into wheeling when I was around 10 years old. He had my grandfather's '46 Willys Jeep with 33” MTs and we used to just hit all the trails around the township I lived in as a kid. I’ve loved it ever since.
Most frequent off-road park you go to?
Since I got this buggy, we mainly go to Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park in Harrison, Michigan. They have a lot of great trails from mild to wild along with camping and a food truck. Everything needed for a fun weekend of wheeling.
Favorite place to wheel?
My favorite place to wheel so far is Rocks and Valleys. So far I haven’t been to that many parks since I got this buggy, but we are going to Windrock off-road in March. I think that might be my new favorite place from the videos I’ve seen. It will be our first time going there.
Bucket list place to visit and wheel?
When asked what trail he dreams of hitting, Drew didn’t hesitate: Moab, Utah
