OCC's primary activities are safe and prepared OHV driving, trail maintenance, helping each other build our OHV rigs, socializing, camping, and fighting the OHV road closures. OCC is a close-knit group of people who enjoy the company of friends. Members and guests are always encouraged to bring their families to club events, "Wrench-a-thons" to repair or modify your rig, or to just learn by helping out others to get together when you can't make it to the trail.
Founded in Jan 1997, The Off-Camber Crawlers, Inc. (OCC) is a group of professional individuals, mostly from Washington, DC and its surrounding areas, who are interested in off-road driving and enjoying the great outdoors with friends.
We meet once a month at 6:30pm typically on the second Sunday of the month. Check our calendar for the next meeting or trail ride. We meet at Kilroy's in Springfield.
Monthly meetings are held at Kilroy's in Springfield, VA (5250 Port Royal Rd, Springfield, VA 22151). The meetings are on the enclosed deck in the rear of the restaurant. Most folks drive around and park behind the shopping center and enter the deck from the back of the building. The meetings are typically held on the second Sunday of the month at 6:30pm, but we do move them around for holidays or venue conflicts, so be sure to check the calendar.
First of all, this weekend had a wrench thrown into it as the week started when we found out that we would not be working, but fortunately almost everyone that had signed up still made the trip out and I believe that everyone still had fun in the snow.
Saturday morning came pretty early, and before Suzzy was able to get the YJ completely off the trailer, we were reminded about a failure from the last time we were out. Thankfully Charles was able to re weld my shock mount before beginning the day. By the time we were ready to go everyone had arrived and was almost ready to go.
The OCC Email Forum/List is truly the central vein of OCC. A substantial portion of the OCC community is our mailing list. This is where we meet and greet everyone. Questions are posted, answers are given. Trips are setup, meetings times coordinated. Technical questions are posted by newcomers and the old-timers provide years of experience.
Everyone is welcome, so please feel free to post any questions or responses on our list. This is an email list for the Off-Camber Crawlers off road club, you will be a guest for 6 months. Please use that time to decide if this club is right for you. At the end of the 6 months we hope you will have joined or declared your intention to join. If your 6 months pass and you have not made an attempt to join you will be removed from the list.
It is an open event. You can be a prospective member and attend. Family is welcome of course.
The club provides you the main portion of lunch- dogs, burgers, other meats, buns, and condiments. If you are leaning towards healthy conscious choices or other dietary needs, you are welcome to bring those as you choose. We'll even grill it for you, if you don't mind the intermingling with other foods. There will be basic drinks- water, Gatorade, soda, and juice boxes which is especially for the kids.
