Team South will meet participants and organizers during the Paiute ATV Roundtable at the Richfield City Park for an inside view of this highly successful collaboration of federal, state, and local agencies with user groups and communities to encourage responsible use of public lands and promote tourism in an economically depressed area of the state. Following the roundtable, Team South will hit the trail for a first hand look at Jamboree participants.

Once the Paiute ATV trail came into existence, it did not take long to become a favorite with folks of the "four wheeler" persuasion. After that, it did not take long to create an event or tow centered on the Trail and make this often neglected part of the state a destination point for ATV enthusiasts.

The Journey, or Trek, involved two groups of travelers: one starting north from the Mexican border and the second headed south from the Canadian. Their route lay entirely on public lands, a feat that has never been accomplished before. The trek began on July 31, 2002 and ended two months later when the two teams met in Wasatch-Cache National Forest near Salt Lake City, Utah on September 27.
