Nevada Backroaders

I know its a long shot but in may of 96 my family was on a run with another club ( vegas valley 4 wheelers ) and i think it was a poker run. My dad rolled his bronco on the back side of sunrise mt. Does anyone have any recall of this? his name is Joe we were on the run with grizz who drove a old white suburban and jack who drove a black jeep. along with others i was just a kid when this happened. Any info would be awesome thank you.

The only one I recognize is probably jack Ross. I think his old cj was black. He's still around and we'll mention it to him when we see him again.

Yes jack was there I rember after the run everyone went to his house for a BBQ and after my dad and brother ( they were the only two that were in the bronco ) went to the hospital to get checked out we went there to and the club members were very helpful and they even put the bronco on a trailer and took it to our house. All the neibors honestly though we didn't survive the bronco only had the stock roll bar which of course didn't hold up and the bronco crushed like a can

Hi Joe,

I've been off and on with vegas valley since 1988 when I used to drive a ramcharger, so I'm sure we've done some runs together. I remember quite a few of the names you mentioned. I've been a member of Nevada Backroaders since 2003 when I went with Mickey on one of their runs. I used to work on a ranch in Cuyama which isn't too far from you now but that was back in the 60's. Learned to drive a stick on an old Willys station wagon while I was there. Let me know when you're in town again. We probably will recognize each other.
