Norm:

We have indeed opened up the event to all vehicle makes.

We would love to see some Hummers at our event.

We will ensure that we groom the trails appropriately for the Hummer's width.

Regards,

Sue and I had a great weekend wheeling with the London & Area Jeep Owner's Club.  Thanks to Derrick, the land owner, the guides and all of the jeep participants that supported and cheered us on.  This was our first time out off-roading and we had a great time.  We're looking forward to much more next year.

We had all 3 models represented; Austin in the H1, us in the H2 and Rob in the H3.
