After a disappointing turnout at the Truck Haven run (25 showed out of 43 sign ups). I decided to implement a new policy for all runs which are set up as "Serious Explorations" runs. Including the upcoming Arizona run and the Moab run.
Here it is... There will be a $20 registration fee for the run which will be refundable in full when you show up. If you don't show up you forfeit the fee and it will go to the site and or the organizer of the event. If you must cancel you have 30 days to do so before the event. You can get your money back up until then.
If you show up to the event without registering don't expect a place at the table when we go out for a group dinner or have any other "special" events such as the pot luck.
We have the registration forms there for a reason. We need to know how many vehicles of what caliber will be there so we know what trails we can run, how many seperate runs per day and how many leaders are needed.
If this doesn't work out I'm perfectly willing to drop the whole organized event thing.
Sorry to be so harsh, but last year we had about 50 sign up and 25 arrived. We attributed it to the rain which was forcast last year, but this year that wasn't an excuse. The weather was as good as it gets for desert wheelin'.

Due to a discussion in the moderator forum it was decided in order to protect from liability all of those who help organize the runs we need to prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from attending the runs unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
The reason for this is twofold. 1. To keep the organizers from being held liable for damage to vehicles and personal injury. 2. If injurys are sustained to a minor hospitals cannot administer services without parental consent unless the injuries are life threatening. That means you could be sitting in a Moab hospital with broken leg until they could get consent from your parents to set it!
The good samaritan laws were mentioned, but that would only apply to first responders and not to medical personel at a hospital.
Sorry for the hassle, but it goes along with the crazy times we're living in.
