ABOUT:

Two Rivers Jeep Club (TRJC) is located in Pittsfield, Illinois, 60 miles west of the state capital of Springfield. Current membership is 250 (from 10 states) and is always full with a waiting list. In fact, it is probably the largest all-Jeep Club in the United States that maintains its own trails. But that wasn't always so. In 1991, TRJC was founded by Tom Wombles and five other Pike County residents. It was formed for recreation and to help provide trails and guides for the first of the Land of Lincoln Jeep Jamborees. By 1992 membership stood at 25 and it has grown ever since. Membership, however, is limited to protect the trails from overuse.

River

What makes Two Rivers unique is that it operates on 100% private land. Trails range from scenic and easy to darn near impossible, especially when wet! The wide range of trails, and the number of them (usually 15 or so) has made it a favorite for those attending the annual Land of Lincoln Jeep Jamborees. There have been so many requests for trail riding, that TRJC now sponsors their own national event, the 4X4 Blast.

MEMBERSHIP:

In addition to the club runs, the cost of the membership also includes 3-4 catered meals for you and your family each year.  12 or so member only events are held each year so it averages out to about $5 per event , plus the free meals! A newsletter is published ever other month and TRJC members also get advance registration information and a discount to the Safari and Blast.
