There's nothing more exciting than taking your 4x4 vehicle off-roading and seeing what it can really do. Picture this - You're hitting the trails and climbing over rocks, wading through mud, and navigating tight, wooded paths. Sounds like a ton of fun, right? But for people who have never gone off-roading before, it can be rather stressful taking their shiny new (and expensive) ride off the beaten path.

Earlier this year I attended the Midwest Travel Network in Shipshewana, Indiana and it was an interesting experience. I've driven past this area dozens of times over the past 20 years since it is right off of the Indiana Turnpike between South Bend and Toledo but despite seeing the billboards I'd never thought of it as a place that guys might want to visit for a guys weekend ... much less a bachelor party. I was wrong though! This town actually has a lot going for it when it comes to guys looking for an easy-to-get-to destination and especially for those that don't need alcohol to have a great time, it also presents a unique bachelor party destination. Known for its Amish culture, excellent food, and fun attractions, Shipshewana is a fantastic place to gather with friends for a memorable, wholesome experience and I can't wait to go back again with some of my friends for a longer trip.
