Vegas is the closest location to me so I will be going to this one. I do, however, have some concerns and just want to make sure I won't be an undue burden to the guides/my guide.
I have anxiety and a lot of it is around driving. I do a little better as a driver than I do as a passenger. Things that make me the most anxious are drop offs/plunges where it's several hundred feet down, especially when it's also curvy. I have never had to "tap out" from driving on them but honestly they freak me out. If you want an example of the two that were the worst, driving up to Ice House campgrounds (the climb up the mountain) and the Los Angeles National Forest Highway (parts not all). I was white knuckled on LA National Forest Highway but I made it through. I do NOT want to be a burden or stress to my guide. I really want to go. I have never been in an accident that was caused by my anxiety and I do not panic in a way that makes me do stupid things with the vehicle. I can keep my cool even if I'm mid panic because anything other than calm is a danger to both myself and the drives/etc around me. I just don't want to be an emotional burden to my guide, if that makes sense. Are there other anxious people who have gone to Off-Roadeo and if yes how was that experience? I find that doing "the scary thing" often makes it a lot less scary in the future which is why I want to go do "the scary thing", my anxiousness in driving has vastly improved over the last several years as I continue to push myself to drive the "scary" roads.
The other question I have is if there's any designated smoking areas?
