      Early Bronco Registry - Road Rules

    Control

    Our Wagon Master leads the run! A single voice reduces confusion, especially in an emergency. His or her instructions are to make your day a better one. 

    The Wagon Master may call for drivers' meeting at any time. This is to get input or to let you know about something important - be there or be square!

    We use CB channel 8, unless the Wagon Master specifies an alternate. It is not mandatory for anyone to have a CB, but it makes life simpler if you do. You'll enjoy the trip more as well. Be sure it's in good working order BEFORE the run!

    [If you are a licensed Ham operator, we often use 146.460 simplex or local repeaters for expanded run communications.]

    The last vehicle becomes "Tail End Charlie". This vehicle must always have a CB or Ham radio and know the group's destination. A winch is recommended. Tail End Charlie should immediately report any problems slowing or stopping the group.

    Safety


    If you're uncomfortable, ask for help!  Contrary to the "macho" image, we happily have experienced members walk or talk drivers through the tough spots. Just ask! 

    You may be assigned a guide even when you don't ask because someone outside your vehicle can see obstacles you can't. Please respect your guide's opinions. If in doubt - wait for help!

    Without radio's, you MUST maintain visual contact with the vehicle directly behind you. If you can't see it, stop! If everyone follows this rule, any stopped vehicle will halt the entire group without further instructions.  Maintaining contact via radio instead of visual contact allows the group to keep a greater (dust free) separation. If you have a radio and can maintain communications with the vehicle behind you, this is an acceptable alternative to visual contact. (NOTE: We still want you stop at all trail junctions until the following vehicle can see you and the trail choice you made!)

    Drunk driving is absolutely forbidden!
    You will be asked to leave this run, and may be excluded from future runs.


    Stopping

    If you have to stop or leave the run, let the Wagon Master know!

    When stopping, leave the trail passable for other travelers by parking to one side whenever possible.

    Potty stops - normally its boys to the left, girls to the right. Radio for a break anytime you need one. It's not good to fool Mother Nature.

    Manners

    Don't litter! Carry out your drink cans, food wrappers, cigarette butts, broken parts . . . everything!

    Keep your dog on a leash. This rule is lax - UNLESS your dog becomes a nuisance. (This rule also applies to kids . . . no, forget that . . .)

    In light of extreme - sometimes insane - environmental pressure for land closures, it is particularly important not to be destructive when off-roading. Stay on the trails! Be friendly and courteous to any folks you meet. Suggest to others that they should do the same.

    When encountering horseback riders, pull over and stop your engine.

    Trail repairs and road crews - Many hands make the work easier, so if the Wagon Master calls for a road crew, lend a hand.

    Quiet time is from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.!

    TRAIL RATINGS

    1. SCENIC - Two wheel drive OK, but needs ground clearance (not for passenger cars).

    2. EASY - 4WD may be required on occasions. Suitable for stock Early Broncos.

    3. MEDIUM - Significant 4WD content. Marginal for stock Early Broncos.
      Might be some risk of scratches or dents.

    4. ROUGH - Larger tires, suspension lift, low gears highly recommended.
      Not a run for novices!

    5. EXTREME - Well modified one or two lockers necessary.  Highly experienced driver essential!  If you don't already know what it takes, don't try this run.
      Moderate to guaranteed risk of some body damage.
