San Diego, CA – As we speed towards October, Operation Desert Fun 5, a desert adventure to benefit the Cal-Diego Paralyzed Veterans Association and Cal 4 Wheel, is gaining support and a truck-load of awesome raffle prizes! Operation Desert Fun 5 will be held at the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area, Ocotillo Wells, CA (35 miles east of Julian) and will include runs for all SUV’s, 4x4’s, Motorcycles and ATV’s.
Come out Friday night to try your luck on the Fun Poker Run. All vehicles are welcome to try for the best poker hand and vote on their favorite poker stop. On Saturday Morning we offer something for everyone. For the SUV owner who wants to learn more about 4 wheeling and safety, we offer an SUV run. For the rock crawlers, we have several metal-bending runs to challenge the hard-core wheeler. But if you like your paint job, don’t worry. We have runs in between easy and body-damage-likely!
We will also be hosting a Powder Puff Run, with a twist: to drive you either have to be a woman or DRESS LIKE ONE!!! Bring your cameras… For the motorcycles and ATV’s we will have long runs, short runs, and runs for every skill level. This year we are introducing something new – An RC Truck Challenge! Many off-road enthusiasts are also RC car buffs, so we decided to bring all of you out of the woodwork for a bit of friendly competition. Stay tuned for more details.
On Saturday night we will have two separate raffles – one for the kids, and one for the adults. The adults’ raffle will feature donations for every OHV’er. As the donations pour in, we can guarantee a raffle to remember! Any individual or business wishing to donate to either raffle can contact Angela Cook. All proceeds from both raffles go directly to the Cal-Diego PVA, and are TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
Registration for multi-seat vehicles is $35 (if pre-registered by October 7th), single seat vehicles $15, single-seat vehicles for kids 17 and under (accompanied by a parent or legal guardian). Cal 4 Wheel will be receiving the proceeds from registration to cover the cost of the event, and to help in the fight to keep public land open and accessible to all of us.
