I'd like to hold it sometime this summer, but the date is fluid at this point until we find what works for the most people. A day trip is probably easiest to plan but we could do an overnighter if folks want to camp.
This event is designed for stock or mildly lifted TrailVoys. We'll be running green(easy) and maybe a few blue(moderate) trails. We'll work within everyone's comfort level. TSF is great in that most trails have bypass roads that you can drive down if you don't want to run a certain trail. We can also watch some of the built rigs up there take on the more challenging obstacles. (Lots of fun actually.)
A good meeting place would be at Coleman's Restaurant on Highway 6 just outside of the forest. We could meet at 8 or 9am, have breakfast, then go wheel all day until people need to go. There is a Shell station nearby for topping off tanks and buying OHV permits.
Things participants will need to have:
- A TrailVoy in good mechanical condition. 4WD is a must. G80/locker optional.
- A valid Oregon OHV permit (costs $10, can be gotten from several places).
- At least All-Terrain tires. Street tires will load up with mud quickly and you'll be going nowhere.
- A full sized spare in working order.
- Recovery points. Rear hitch is fine. Front tow hooks highly recommended.
- NO RUNNING BOARDS. You'll get stuck and they'll get ruined. We can help folks take them off beforehand if need be.
- An air compressor is desirable. My OBA system is down currently and sharing one compressor between a lot of trucks is a pain.
- A CB is also very desirable. We can make due if some folks don't have them, but we need to have at least 2 in the group. (I have 1.)
- Warm clothing. Rain gear is a plus in case we get rained on.
- Sack lunches/drinks for all people brought along. Beers are fine too but we will not be drinking on the trails.
- A garbage bag so we can pick up any trash we may find/produce.
This list will probably grow as I think of more things.
Post up if you have ideas or would like to come along. Let's find a date that works for people.
