On the Rocks: Off-roading on The Outdoor Channel

A new television show about 4-wheeling, On the Rocks is airing on The Outdoor Channel Monday nights, prime-time. This weekly 30 minute reality-based program introduces viewers to the sport of off-road driving through a combination of challenging four-wheeling feats and picturesque trails of the back roads throughout America.

Each show follows members of the “Dirty Thirty,” a family-friendly group of Jeep and truck enthusiasts that share a love of the outdoors, as they lead viewers into river-carved canyons and over enormous boulders, all in the name of adventure and preservation.

Show host, Dave Ihrig, a relative newcomer to the sport of 4-wheel driving, provides humorous interaction with the “Dirty Thirty” that makes On the Rocks a truly entertaining and one-of-a-kind reality TV program; not only is it funny, but it is also informative.

Trail boss, Rick Russell, a well respected and long-time advocate of off-road driving, hosts weekly technical segments that demonstrate and explain such topics as choosing the best tire size and how to use a winch. Meanwhile, Brad "Cookie" Lark keeps the hungry wheelers happy with his three BBQs.

Last but not least on the cast is Del Albright – the singing cowboy and BlueRibbon Coalition Ambassador who is one of America’s top trail advocates and a contributing writer to Low-RANGE Magazine. Del has been battling to keep trails open for over twenty-five years. Four-wheeling is more than just a passion for him, it’s a way of preserving nature’s beauty for future generations. Look for Del's article in the next issue of Low-RANGE.

GUEST CONTRIBUTOR — Del Albright
“Go Green”
with Your Outdoor Recreation

Ok, don’t shoot me, but I want to suggest a type of “Go Green” for four-wheeling and other types of motorized recreation. If you’re a regular reader of Del Albright, you know I’m not anything related to a “greenie” or anti-access radical protectionist – in fact, I’m the opposite. But something has come over me lately. It’s similar to nausea, but there may be something here worth suffering for.

Everywhere I look I see this “Go Green” stuff. Businesses, advertisements, magazines, TV commercials and our esteemed government agencies are constantly getting all warm and fuzzy with this trendy stuff. Heck, if I believed all the brainwashing we’re being lambasted with today, I might just fit in better with the trendy crowd. But I don’t! And, I’m not sure I want to.

I drive an off-road rig that loves to spank rocks. Yeah, for sure I stay on the trail and wheel conscientiously; but I’m not about to convert to some ultra radical type dude that claims to be saving the world when in fact they usually do more harm than good. I am an outdoor motorized recreationist who is responsible and ethical.
