Altho it's been rather unseasonably warm lately, it's time to start thinking about getting your Christmas tree! It's always fun to get out in the woods, even when there's snow and ice on the grounds. We've many different sized vehicles join us on this free adventure, however something with adequate ground clearance and seasonal equipped tires are a must! We plan on visiting a local tree farm to legally acquire our Christmas tree's.
For your comfort and safety, this free ride is limited to only 10 trucks (not including Chris & Jareb in their Toyota's). This is a first come, first serve ride. If you're definitely going, just post up saying so! If you're not sure yet, you're not on the list til you're 100% positive. Thanks for understanding
