BROWN'S CAMP, OR - A
large group of Suzuki enthusiasts descended upon the Tillamook State
Forest to once again celebrate their unrivaled passion for Suzuki vehicles
and their 4x4 sport. Followers came from as far away as Canada to enjoy
the camaraderie, liquid sunshine (rain), and trails that this part of
Oregon has to offer during this time of the year. The day started off with
a good showing of enthusiasts getting their bearings and grouping up in
the Brown's Camp day use staging area. There were to be three groups this
day but due to an unfortunate circumstance many participants broke off
into several smaller groups and set out on their own to enjoy the OHV
area.
Several enjoyed the difficult
terrain that is know as the "Crushers" trail; made all the more
difficult due to the rain that was falling. Vehicle carnage was evident
even on the less difficult trails as some tested their mettle on trails
like Archer's and Hog's Back. There were several new faces this year which
was very nice to see, some rookies to the sport and some old hats that
have just joined us for the first time.
| During the course of the
day memories were forged and experiences were had of joyous times
with friend and family. The trails have been very well managed so
we could focus on the other details that make trail riding fun.
Like lighthearted heckling and poking fun that always endears
people to each other and helps to build the bonds that last a
lifetime.
In the afternoon, the groups that
could made it back for a steak dinner that we hosted for the
participants. Stories of good "wheelin' fun" wafted in
the air as all enjoyed their dinner, recalled the day's
activities, and planned for next year's gathering.
