Details

Two day event Saturday and Sunday

Meet at the center of the parking lot, nearest to the Park office by 9 AM both days.

In our own tradition we will meet at Rausch Creek again and have what I hope is lots of fun. Weather permitting; we will drive in caravan style on Saturday morning, meeting at Tom's gas station at or near 6 to 6:30 AM. We will top off fuel, arrange for a quick coffee and depart by 6:30 AM. If anyone misses the departure time just keep driving north on 83 and you should catch up to us. All levels Green, Blue and Black/Red (subject to participants).

If you plan to make it for both days make your reservation early at the Comfort Inn, don't wait until it's too late. I also would appreciate a head count of members participating on this run, both on this site and the forum, thank you.

Fees associated with these event are $30 per day at the park, if new an extra $10, and passangers $5.00. You may want to check into the 5 for 4 pass or the annual passes, you will safe some money. Saturday night dinner at the Gooseberry Restaurant by 6:00 to 6:30 PM, or O'Niel's Pub-Restaurant. Camping sites and other hotelsi n the area should you need a room. check out the RC site.

Sorry I will not be with you for this trip in person, but I will be there in Spirit.

    "The Saturday trip for my guest and I...was OUTSTANDING...only three trucks, but was able to learn a plethora of knowledge about my jeep and it's capabilities, as well as how to traverse over ROCKS. Thanks goes out to Greg for a great time. Can't wait to do it again.....and thanks for those flares.......Cole, it was cool meeting you as well, I'll probably be visiting your shop real soon...lol"

    "Paul S. did a great job of getting people throught the trails"

    "One more for the record books, what a great day, a little cool but the sun was shining. Nine rigs pulled out on Sunday morning from the Rauch Creek staging area, before most people we know had even woke up out of their warm and cozy beds. Climbing rocks the size of cars and breaking ice in the streams like an Alaskan Trawler. From CV trail to trail 4 then on to Black 8 over to a loop on 5 and then a relaxing romp on blue #2, Crawler ridge, down H to S onto Boot Hill, heading back in via 1a ,a couple of bowls with downhill slides, near roll-overs and multiple wrench cable applications. What a fantastic day. Quote of the day. ? I don?t want to wheel with a bunch of rednecks? My reply ?Have you looked in the mirror lately?"
