Triple Canopy Ranch "Bog for Tots Toy Drive"

Triple Canopy Ranch’s “Boggin for Tots” Christmas event was a huge success, we had a blast as well as thousands of offroad and boggin fans!

Seriously, the TCR Dec. 11-13 weekend kicked mud! We pulled up Friday afternoon to see “Big Nasty,” winner of our first “Baddest Truck Showdown,” from Georgia owning the dual mud drags on either side of a road set through TCR’s mammoth mud pits.

Then, the mud-slinging roars of multiple 2-1/2 ton trucks came charging through the same stretches with TGW film crews hot on their tails. At the same time, TCR’s promo girls were on the prowl (dressed in Santa suits!) helping collect toys and selling raffle tickets.

We knew, right there on Friday afternoon, this was going to be good! In addition to the dual mud strips, TCR served up acres of tire-spinning and mud-slinging in their massive mud pits. TCR also built a monster hill, with room for plenty of spectators, just off the main mud pits, providing a better angle for crowds to soak in all the action.

After weeks of preparation, these mega-sized mud pits were primed and ready for folks to come out and play. Oh boy! Did they ever come out to play! By mid-morning Saturday, the placed was packed! The South’s biggest, baddest trucks and buggies showed up and truly gave absolutely everything they had – tearing it up across the deep, black mud pits the park has cooked up.

These mud pits were lined with spectators early, piled on huge rigs to 1/2-ton stock trucks, all eager to not just watch, but to have their chance at tearing it up and diggin’ in the vast mud holes.

The crowd was killer on Saturday too, further fueling the mud-slinging, rooster-tail-shooting action being filmed by Trucks Gone Wild. If it was on wheels, it hit the mud Saturday – cargo vans on 2-1/2-ton setups, “built-to-the-hilt” mega trucks, monster Jeeps, ATVs and unreal buggies. Wow! The swamp buggies that turned out at TCR were “bad to the bone!”

The TCR girls made the rounds on one of those swamp buggies, passing out goodies, looking good and having fun. The girls also made it to the party Saturday night in hopes of taming the mechanical bull.

Oh yeah, there was a party, bull riding and a DJ too! DJ Brownie helped me and “The Crew” from Superior Style and Sound (www.superior4x4.com) set up a bit of a Christmas party. It was really fun to have our fellow boggers hanging out, bull riding and dancing on trucks and buggies ‘till 2 am. We hope you had fun.

 

But, TCR’s holiday event was more than just a Christmas mud bog and party. It was also a toy drive for the “Toys for Tots” organization. The thousands of boggers and off-road fans that showed up managed to fill half of a semi truck trailer full of toys by Saturday!

That’s no easy task. There were piles of toys donated by all who came out. That shows the spirit of our boggin’ community – to not only make the trip, but to also make a contribution. Times are tough, and to come through for a good cause like this says something about the people who make up our sport.

The “Boggin for Tots” event was great. Thanks to all who came out. Without you, none of these events are possible.
