Oct 9th and 10th
This run will start on the side of Mnt. Bachelor. The trail is difficult with lots of rocks and other obsticles. We will camp next to one of the several lakes we will be passing, {If we do the snow run} so bring your gear and camera and join us. $25 A vehicle. Run Shirts will be $12 each, Please order yours ahead of time. White or Grey shirts. Hurry only 25 vehicles allowed.

Pine and David just pre-ran a ton of trails to find out what this run was about. To start with, We have 2 runs Planned, a Snow run if we get 10 inches or more, or if it stays dry a serious Trail run- For SMALL rigs. NO full size-
1- NO full size rigs, if the snow doesn't fall- - -SORRY
2- Working CB's
3- Spare parts -Axles. U-joints, Tyerods, tires
4- WARM camping stuff, we will be camping at 6700ft. Its COLD....
5- Tarps
6- Cook ware-propane stove, ext.
7- Food for lunch- dinner- breakfast- lunch- snack

Trail Run
We have a couple of different trails we may take depending on weather.
One trail is a tight rocky trail that takes you on a wild ride up ,down and through rocks, trees and dirt,, This trail will put your wheeling ability to the test. This trail has a width limit of 77 inches.
The other trail we have is not quite as NASTY, but does have lots of fun stuff to do on the way, Rutts, Rocks and other obsticles. Both runs have places to leave your trailors in a snow park parking lot. 1 Locker and at least 33" tires are required for this run.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SNOW RUN,
If we get snow we will be doing a Snow run at 6683'. We will from Todd Lakes to Three creeks Lake. We will be camping in the snow so Bring WARM stuff. THINK COLD, could get down to the teens. We have a killer camp site picked out where we can all camp togther. There are bathrooms at the camp ground and you will be asked to pay the camping fee to stay there. The sceinery in breath taking, and the snow run will be a blast. All 4x4s welcome, lockers or not. We will make several trips out from camp after setting up. Bring a little extra fuel.

If your wondering what the weather is doing in Bend, check the Mnt. Batchelor Ski area snow report.

---------------------------UPDATE---------------------
After talking more with the Forest Service, we may not be running the 22 mile loop we had planned. If we dont, there are several other areas near there with lots of Rocky areas, and big nice Lava flows to play on. We still plan on camping at a warming cabin Saturday night  and meeting at Tumalo park Friday. There is no size limit now, but we would still reccommend 1 locker and at least 33" tires.
