Lol. Making it is an art I have never delved in but I do enjoy a snort now and then.

The weather is looking good for next weekend. Highs in the low 80s, lows in the mid 50s. Winds will be around 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Sunshine all day.

I will be heading over next Tuesday to try and grab the two group campsites. Anyone else planning on arriving early?

There is a fire ban on all BLM and forest service managed lands in Oregon including in campground fire rings. Does anyone have a propane fire pit they can bring?

Looking forward to meeting all of you. Hope you all have safe and uneventful travels.

I plan on arriving Friday or Thursday evening. I’m driving from Boise ID on Thursday. It depends on the gravel road conditions.

We're planning on rolling in late afternoon Thursday.

Thinking of changing up plans and riding my bike over so I can shoot over to Wamic and check on Mom. As some of you know my rig is down and being Godzilla swapped as I type. Let the black ktm 950 through the checkpoint.

Great riding conditions... see you there.

Thanks to Vandiesel, 7Oaks, BrianJ, Queen, Russell, 4x4BoogieVan, 03SMBOR, Vindisl, Dokaman, JoefromSF, Berta, doublevan2, ArcticTraveler, AntManBee, BigRiver, and Floydo for making it a great Meet and Greet. We all had fun inspecting each others vans and getting to know each other.

Russell came all the way from Georgia and gets the notoriety of coming the furthest distance.

AntManBee had the coolest van. His 900 was solar system allowed him to run his mini split air conditioner to stay cool.

Happy trails everyone.

Well... THAT was fun! Great to meet all y'all and what a beautiful hang. A confirmation of the great community we have going here. Thanks to Ron for setting it up and Larrie for pulling it off. It was a gas!
