The driver of the vehicle that wins gets a Eastern Washington Expeditions T-shirt and a small Jeep Trophy that can keep. They also get the club trophy until someone wins again.
THE MAIN TRIP:
We will convoy to Colockum Road to air down near the Naneum State Forest. After airing down we will make our way up to the flat area in the open to start the competition.
