McGrew pre run

2ndGenToyotaFan · 02-18-09, 10:41 AM

It was so much fun last year.....

Also, if we're going to be playing an active role in this years Trail Ride, it would probably be a good idea to get out there and do some planning for the event.

My thought was that 3 weeks before seemed good, but that'd be the 4th of July.... so we'll put it to a vote..... (this should go well...)

You can vote for any/all dates that work for you, if there's enough interest, we may make it an overnight trip....

knoll0351 · 02-18-09, 11:13 AM

I voted for them all simply to make your life a little bit more challenging

RredFJ40 · 02-18-09, 11:48 AM

voted for june 27 as that's during a time that I'll be back from Boise.

gnob · 02-18-09, 11:54 AM

i cant do the july 4th weekend.
wifeys b-day.

2ndGenToyotaFan · 02-18-09, 11:55 AM

And the 27th takes an early lead........

Oh, and thanks Travis.....

Ebag333 · 02-18-09, 01:05 PM

Phew, I voted for the same dates as someone else. Late June and July 4th does NOT work for me.

retrofive · 02-18-09, 01:37 PM

27th is good for us.

TOY350 · 02-18-09, 02:01 PM

June 20-21 is OUT. That is Father's Day weekend when the Jeepers run it and it is crowded.

June 27th is good. I would like it spaced out from the TLCA McGrew run a bit.

I'm turning 30 on the 13th so I'm planning on having my midlife crisis between the 11th-18th. Although I really don't have any plans in particular I'm just planning for the worst.

Great... you'll probably show up in some H2 huh?

jamister1 · 02-18-09, 03:05 PM

Or a UZJ100 on 22's

Go all the way. Get a 200.

2ndGenToyotaFan · 02-18-09, 03:55 PM

I think the 27th (current winner) seems like a good date, plus we can check up on what the Jeepers leave behind, if anything....

Edit, Jesse, you should just go nuts and buy lots of parts for my truck..... Specifically MC Hi-steer..... That'd be a good mid life crisis!

Ebag333 · 02-18-09, 04:33 PM

Guess I'm out then. I'll be in Bend.

Kief · 02-18-09, 07:14 PM

OH, its so much fun to go out and watch the jeepers! Go in early hang out and head out the FS roads!

2ndGenToyotaFan · 02-18-09, 09:05 PM

Kief, do you know how many Jeeps they push through?

TOY350 · 02-18-09, 09:55 PM

I would say upwards of 50 or more? But I haven't witnessed it.

knoll0351 · 02-18-09, 10:20 PM

A whole lot!!!!! I ran into the tail end on year, not realizing the date. I just turned around and went elswhere. Although they do a whole bunch of maintanance down at SD so it's nice to go in after them

Kief · 02-18-09, 10:37 PM

I think at one time they had well over 100 and then a whole bunch of campers that took the main road in, one guy drove the quad cab ford with a long bed towing a trailer for the quads that the kids were riding..... nuts-absolutely nuts. Oh, and don't forget the Cave Junction contingent. It was more like a parade out in a once quiet and peaceful place.. I think if I do go out there during that run it will be on my dual-sport.

Fly Rod · 02-22-09, 06:00 PM

27th if it is not a nut house full of other "clubbers."

2ndGenToyotaFan · 03-03-09, 11:11 PM

Ok people, the 27th it is! Done and done! ...... and in the event calender...

knoll0351 · 03-04-09, 12:44 AM

Speaking of, uh...do we need a new event calender? Or a more well defined sticky...or somethin' so that we can view events without the added discussion about the events? ...not to cause waves but our original event calender has been overwhelmed and has quite a bit of chit chat...

tblume · 03-04-09, 05:10 PM

guilty sir.

knoll0351 · 03-05-09, 11:31 AM

It's all good, no worries. I think it just kinda snow balled from explenations of runs...

So plans have changed (rats!) and I'll be able to attend.

Try and hold your disappointment in.

Anyone going out Friday? I will need to leave Sunday to head up to Bend.

Do believe we are running the trail on Saturday, some might go down and camp then come back to run it but not sure.

Ebag333 · 05-11-09, 01:59 AM

I vote for camping.

We going to do the whole thing, or just the second half?

Fly Rod · 05-11-09, 09:56 AM

I need to get ahold of Al to get some paperwork done then the JSC portable headquarters will be ready to rock. It will be there Friday. Would we want to stay in O'Brian or elsewhere?

TOY350 · 05-11-09, 10:49 AM

I figured we were running the whole thing to make sure there wasn't any trash left over from the j**pers run the previous weekend. I thought we were camping over Saturday night.

Not to try and change the plans or anything but we could run down Friday and then run the whole trail backwards and be out on Saturday. I could probably go either way.

2ndGenToyotaFan · 05-11-09, 11:12 AM

Aside from a date, I don't think there were plans....
