Thanks for requesting how to write 4WD Trail Reports for Off-road.com. The following information should be in your report:

 

  1. Give your name, where you are starting from, the name of the trail and its general location.

  2. Give directions to the trail?s starting point, from the nearest city or town that can be found on a road atlas.

  3. Your directions should give mile markers for turn-offs and mileage to forks in the trail.

  4. Anything interesting about the trail ? tough obstacles, spectacular views, particularly good places to stop, etc.

  5. Dates you made your run, and note whether the trail is open year round or seasonal, and whether snow, heat, etc might be problems at other times of the year.

  6. Keep it short, and edit it ? remember that your report will be read online, and online readers tend to want pictures with a summary and will bypass long articles.

  7. Include photos! Send us two or three, or more if you like. Show your rig in action, and let us see some of the scenery. If you include people in your pictures, tell us who they are. Send them to me (the Trails editor) for scanning (be sure to include a return envelope and postage if you want them back). If you can scan them in yourself, great; just remember to reduce the size and resolution so the file size is small. Check out www.photonet.com for ways to get your photos on your computer. Email travels@Off-Road.com if you need help getting the photos scanned.

  8. If you are with a club or an association, tell us about them if you like.

  9. If you are willing to answer questions, include your E-mail address.

  10. E-mail your story to travels@Off-Road.com in either Windows Word or plain *.txt format with notes indicating where the pictures go.

 

We?re really looking forward to reading your report. Remember that it may be edited for space and other considerations.

 

Thanks,
