Co-driver: Verne Simons
Trent McGee has many accomplishments under his belt: child actor, magazine editor, automotive TV show host, off-road manufacturer's representative, and, most importantly, experienced Ultimate Adventure participant. Trent was on the very first Ultimate Adventure, and he has participated in every one since. His co-driver, Verne Simmons, was a magazine staffer for a number of years and is an experienced four-wheeler. Both men were a blast to be around this year and will hopefully take part in many UAs to come.
