The Texas Rovers club held their annual SCARR event -- South Central Event Rover Rally -- from April 11-14, 2019. The event was held at its traditional home of Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area, and is designed to serve as a home event for Land Rover owners in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma to start off the spring events season.
SCARR is well known as a well-run, fun event, and it draws attendees from far wider than those four states. The core, as with any Land Rover event, is off-road trail runs in the Recreation Area. With 1,850 acres to roam across, there's trails for everyone. But SCARR isn't just the off-roading. There's off-road training sessions, movie nights, dinners, raffles, and lots of runs and sessions to support beginning off roaders -- a special focus on those getting started in this hobby.
There's also the Barbara Toy Tribute Run, a women-only trail run. It's named after Barbara Toy, the adventuress whose Land Rover expeditions in the 1950s and 1960s broke barriers far beyond gender.
Overall, SCARR was another resounding success, and next year's event in April 2020 should be just as fun if you can make it to Texas for it.
