AOAA/Rauch Creek Part 1 Spring Camping & Wheeling

This event will be suitable for Green, Blue, Black and Red equipped vehicles.

It’s time for our annual Spring PA Wheeling/Camping trip.  Hopefully, with enough interest, we will be able to hit both locations like we have in the past. Whether we hit AOAA or Rausch, they are professional off road parks and offer trails for any level rig or wheeler. We will split up into groups based on trail difficulty. The itinerary for the event will be travel on Thursday followed by set up and a group social fire, weather permitting, and wheeling on Friday and Saturday. If you haven’t had enough you can wheel on Sunday.

Most of us will be staying at our favorite campground, Camp-A-While. They have been our go to spot for years and they have always been amazing to us. The offered amenities are hot showers, swimming pool, bathrooms, a little store, fire rings at each site. There can be truck traffic on the parallel road so if you need ear plugs may be handy. http://campawhilepa.com/ If you wish to camp or need an RV site at Camp-A-While you will need to make a reservation with Camp-A-While. Call or email Michelle directly. In the past they have blocked a group of sites for us and when they are open for the season I will be contacting them to do so.  http://campawhilepa.com/home/contact-us/

Please let us know if you are staying elsewhere from camp awhile so we can keep in contact before heading to the riding.

POT LUCK BBQ

We will be booking the pavilion so that we can have our pot luck bbq with the culinary stylings of Jay Anderson .  CDJW will be buying Hotdogs, burgers, and chips.  Feel free to come hangout, bring a plate to share (or dont, cool either way), and most importantly bond with fellow members!
