« on: April 17, 2005, 01:51:10 PM »

Join in on the final leg of this trail that spans from the California Border to Washington State. This last leg promises some of the best scenery and camping in North East Oregon. Three years ago we embarked on the OBDCR journey and now we'd like to finish. Join us for the conclusion of this 700+ mile trail. This will be a 'Wagon Train' type adventure.

Eric, is this a suzuki only run. I really want to go due to the fact is is so close to home(John Day).My samurai is more of a offroad only rig but I also have a lexus LX450(Landcruiser FZJ80) that is my expedition vehicle and was wondering if I could take it. It has ARB's front and rear, 35"toyo open countrys, ect. I have met you in John Day a few years back while you were on this trip and it seemed like you had some jeeps with you.

Hey Howdy Hi!

Um, I'm sorry but I don't remember meeting you but that's par for the course with my memory. Why wouldn't you want to take your Samurai? I've done that whole route and plan to finish it with my Red Samurai, "Wedgee".



If you still don't want to take your Samurai, PM me and we can talk.

Starting to put the trip together. I will post information as it develops. New stuff:

We'll meet in John Day, Friday the 2nd, 2:00 PM (place TBD) and head into the bush. Camp on the trail Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Head Home Monday 5th.

This time schedule shortens the trip one day and should make it easier to attend.

Route will include many, many sites to see.

Ok,

I know not all the info is in yet but there's enough for a good idea. Please reply to this thread with your name and a percentage of how likely you are to go. Also, if you have a buddy who wants to go but is not online. Please include them.

For example, me:

Thank you, Eric
