As some of you may know, a local boy, Lance, has started a non-profit called www.DisabledExplorers.com to aid the disabled in getting outdoors and offroad.

On July 4th, he sets out on a Continental Divide Expedition, the first ever to be completed by a disabled person.

Upon Lance's return to Phx on Sunday, July 27th, there will be a HUGE gathering of vehicles from all over the 4 corner states and Cali to caravan home. This will be covered by local media channels and I would like to invite any of you that are available and interested to please join in on the fun!

Hopefully this will raise awareness for any disabled persons who would like to explore the outdoors as well as show how many responsible, tread lightly people we have on the trails.

Exact meeting location and time to follow as the time gets closer!

Thanks everyone
