Derick
Wiaderski, President of Ocean State Jeepsters, states
“The Nature of our Hobby, which uses undeveloped and non-maintained
roads at typically very low speeds (less than 10 mph), this enables us to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. Unlike
the motorized sports illustrated by the media, OHRV use is a hobby of skill and strategy rather than speed. Our excursions
have opened up the regions natural artistry to many that would otherwise be unable to access the “back woods”,
This event is one of our ways to give back to the community and to help keep these areas open for others to enjoy”.
