Unofficial Rivian Day at Holly Oaks ORV Park, Michigan (August 24)

[1stPlace]

SAVE THE DATE: Sunday, August 24 at 10am

Rivian owners meet at Holly Oaks ORV Park in Holly, MI:
https://www.oakgov.com/community/oakland-county-parks/parks-trails/holly-oaks-orv-park

10am meet and prep, 11am enter into park. Last time I was there I had a good time for a few hours. I have Rivian's recovery gear bag and recovery boards. I ride on 22"s and will bring a full size spare. If you haven't done any off-roading before, this park is a good place to get your feet wet. You can choose how much of a challenge you want to have. I don't know if we will all be following the same line or split up and explore independently--possibly both. Anyone that has a set of walkie-talkies and brings them are extra cool in my book.

Items required can be purchased morning of at the park entrance-ORV sticker set, flag mount, and day pass. You do not have to be a Michigan resident. You do not have bring anything else. You do not have to RSVP by any date, though I am hoping everyone interested comments with their plans in this thread below. Attend at your own risk, etc, etc, no organization or person is behind this event.

I’m in! I have been wanting to visit this park. I am near Bundy Hill ORV so I usually frequent that park.

Sorry - I can’t make it.

I'm giving this thread a bump. Come on Michigan people! More attendance is ideal. Please post if you are coming / planning to attend

Last call... 1 week from today for this event, everyone!

 

[DetroitRed]

I still plan to be there!

I'll join you guys.

I plan on joining for the first couple hours. Have recovery boards, off road recovery kit, and a spare should they be needed.

Scratch that, won’t be able to make it.
For anyone who has to buy flags, recommend the front tow hitch universal mount instead of the suction cups. Suction cups like to slide around on the trail.

Planning on being there today. Will have to leave early so might start earlier than the group. Will probably come back shortly after.

We managed to get two Rivian's stuck at the exact same time! Fun! to watch! We had the needed recovery gear, so it was only a few minutes downtime. The vehicles had no faults after this, and so, the adventures continued.

 

[Dark-Fx]

Sorry I had to leave so quickly. We still had fun out there, but I didn't dare drive through the middle of the muddy ponds on my own.

I wanted to come back but my son said he had enough already.

It's kind of funny how much less impressive this is watching it through the dirty fish-eye lens.

Ha, how true. I got a decent picture of @1stPlace doing this going forward.

Side note @Dark-Fx, do you run those KO2s as winter tires on any of your vehicles?
