This year’s SCARR (South Central Area Rover Rally), held from April 15-18, provided further proof—if any was needed—of Texas hospitality. Our driving instructions pointed us in a new direction, the Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, TX, but the old tradition of a warm reception for organizers and attendees alike, still felt firmly intact. After a long drive from Vermont in a Defender, that reception meant a great deal to us. In the frigid north, we’re used to receiving grunts and nods at Land Rover events; when we come to SCARR, we’re overwhelmed by the warm greetings. Believe me, we never tire of meeting fans of Rovers North!
