The idea
An invitation-only group for past Equinox Expeditions guests and Southern Vermont Jeep owners. Members get monthly group runs on routes we do not publish, trail clean-up days, winter recovery clinics, and first access to new experiences before they go on the site. There is no membership fee — you earn your way in by coming on a tour or owning a rig and showing up.
This started as an email thread between a handful of guests who wanted to keep driving together and turned into the best part of the whole operation. Monthly runs go out on routes reserved for members, usually finishing at a brewery or a campfire, and skill levels range from stock rigs on their first dirt road to heavily built trail vehicles.
Members also do the unglamorous work: spring trail clean-ups, maintenance days on routes we all use, and winter recovery clinics where experienced members teach newer ones. New experiences get tested with this group before they go public, which means members ride them first and tell us honestly what is wrong with them.
Highlights
- Routes that never appear on the public schedule
- Campfire and brewery finishes
- Every skill level, from stock to fully built
- A genuine local community, not a mailing list
Good to know
- Past guests are invited automatically after their first tour.
- Local owners: get in touch and come out on a run as a guest first.
- You do not need a modified vehicle. Most members are running stock.
