Here is few maps. One is in GPX format, easily uploaded to you GPS. The second is just Google Earth map. The GPX map needs to have the file extension renamed to .GPX instead of .PDF.

There is a little more info here starting on post 63.

Thanks, but I don't have GPS and the Google Earth isn't much help. I can't seem to get any good maps from the mud post either.

I'll be @ O'Brien around noon...anyone running to fire roads to SD around that time?

Ah, sorry. So we ran the Fire road a few weeks ago and marked the path or at least the couple turns. Its pretty easy. I wasn't paying attention to what color the markers were tho :(. Knolly0351 or Toy350 will know.

Im going in on Fri am.

Lucy_FJ55 · 07-21-09, 10:50 AM

I'll probably be in OBrien by about 3:00 pm Friday afternoon, and I plan to hang for a little bit and then drive into SD early Friday evening... anybody planning on driving out from SD Sat. morning back to the OBrien store?

I am looking for a ride back to the store to catch a ride in on the trail with some folks. Let me know if anyone is driving out Sat. morn. and has a seat for me. Thanks and cheers, Carlos.

Not sure how these PDF will print or if they have enough detail, but here they are anyway.

Sorry they should have been renamed to Fire Rd or something

Great thanks! Looks similar to the one Garret posted except a bit larger.

Everybody have a good trip, I'll be living threw the pictures you all take.

Lucy_FJ55 · 07-21-09, 11:40 AM

Yo Tim, I will be driving into SD Friday afternoon/early evening. If you are still around we can certainly caravan in. I think I know the way.

I'm hoping to head out to SD early afternoon and be back @ O'Brien around 6pm. If ours times meet, that would be great!

K2KK · 07-21-09, 01:07 PM

So I am having a hard time finding a lockout for my FF on my 40. I have posted in the WTB section and no responses. I am looking for a dana 60, 30 spline warn hub. I broke one at Rubithon and I should either match it up with another premium warn lockout and use the one I have currently for a spare or just to have one as a spare. I will probably go with some drive flanges soon just not in the budjet yet. Does anyone going this weekend have one they don't need? And could bring? I'm reaching for straws here...

If anyone does PM me or post up and let me know... Thanks...Keith

Paul's place is still at least an hour to Crescent City, and then at least another 45 min to 1 hour out to O'Brien. So you'll need to leave Trinidad early!

Ross & Paul,

Plan for 3 hours from your place in Trinidad to O'Brien store ...

Tim,

Check your e-mail ... I sent you two different maps that I can't post up here.

Ranger Jeff · 07-22-09, 12:30 AM

Update:

Everyone that I had an e-mail for should have recieved run info (check your in-boxes). Everyone else I've contacted by phone to confirm details. If you haven't been communicated with by either method and crave information, PM or e-mail me. Otherwise, I'll see you in O'Brien, OR, by Saturday morning @ 8 AM.

The official registered rigs number is topping our record, w/several rumored to show up at last minute that, if comes true, will exceed our previous years. I'm withholding the final count 'till afterwards, but my gut tells me we will set a record.

If the run Graphic for this year is as good on the shirts as it is on the computer, be sure to thank Kief for his artistic skills.

Looking forward to a great run!

Gottem'..Thanks. Blew one up to about 1.5' x 3' and highlighted both routes, so should be good to go.

If anyone wants to Caravan down from the Portland area...we'll be heading out around 6am Friday. Or, if anyone wants to head to SD from O'Brien, we should be there around noon'ish. PM me.

TOY350 · 07-22-09, 11:08 AM

Last call for those running Friday:

Dinner at Wild River in Grants Pass Thursday night at 7 just for fun.

Meeting at O'Brien store Friday morning at 9 and on the trail by 9:30.

Make sure your rig is washed and the fender wells are clean.

Caravan out of Grants Pass (my house) at 8 AM Friday to the O'Brien store if anyone wants to join.

Make sure to bring your swimming mask and sunblock!

retrofive · 07-22-09, 04:01 PM

If anyone has a spare seat driving out back to O'Brien Saturday morning my friend would like a ride out. He was thinking of joining us (riding in with me) Fri. and camping, but can't stay through Sund.

Let me know. thanks.

I am hoping that is for me Jeff. I am bad at navigating this site. And couldn't find ...visitor mail... and no PM's received.

retrofive · 07-22-09, 07:04 PM

Got it Thanks for all your work

Kief · 07-23-09, 11:29 PM

Friday guys... I may need someone to haul a box of goodies back out to Jeff B. Saturday AM.. Post up here or in the JSC forum and I will check it in the AM, TIA, Kief.

Lucy_FJ55 · 07-24-09, 12:05 AM

Ginger-Sesame Tri-Tip Kabobs comin' atcha!

Just about done packing, hope to get to O'Brien by 2:00 pm'ish. We are going to drive into SD Friday night, come out Sat. morning to hook up with the run... See everyone soon.

Cheers, Carlos

Russ in California · 07-24-09, 06:23 AM

Don't know when we'll be rollin' into O'brien but we'll be rollin'.
Just don't make a big fuss over my idler pulley noise when I start the old beast up in the morn. It's not that bad but you can hear it or them.
Sooo...should have the oysters delivered right after work. They'll have been harvested just prior so these puppies will be fresh.
Don't have much in the way of "sauce" for the bivalves, maybe some lemon or something so if you're going to indulge you might bring your favorite sauce.
And no margarita mix this time.
Bringing 10 dozen. Don't know just how many will make it to camp(consumption not spoilage) but there should be plenty. Hope some of you are up to some shuckin'.
Off I go...

TOY350 · 07-24-09, 08:13 AM

See you all down there, we hitting the road soon!

TRT2 · 07-24-09, 11:06 AM

leaving shortly too... well, OK, around noon when its as hot as freaking possible.

Have a Q, raffle fodder, tix, marg makings and a big cast iron pot. Oh, and a hot gal riding with me. Insurance forms, insurance cert thanks to Timm B, and what ever else looks appealing like a hi lift, tire repair kit and CO2.

Glad Russ can make it as he'll need to escort the CA group out. I'll be running back to O'Brien for the 1st time.

Drive Safe!

Tony

billybongo63 · 07-24-09, 03:01 PM

Leaving PDX now, got some raffle swag courtesy of Cascade Cruisers and Freeman Motors.
Will try tp make it to SD,at least O'Brien.
Aloha!

Russ in California · 07-24-09, 07:26 PM

Leaving........NOW!

TOY350 · 07-26-09, 04:07 PM

Great run, great water, great food and great company. Thanks to all and I will see you next year if not sooner. We will try not to disappoint on next year's event!

K2KK · 07-26-09, 06:38 PM

X2 on that Garett. And thanks to Jeff and Tony for all their work getting this run together. It is such a fun event...except for the dust and heat...
And there was lots of recruitment fodder for the Jefferson boys...me included. For next year tell Travis to turn the heat down for us coastal boys though.

retrofive · 07-26-09, 09:20 PM

For me, this was the best McGrew Trail Ride ever. Awesome participants, great vendor & club support, killer food, no serious vehicle issues, and finishing ever stage ahead of schedule! All this with a record number of registrants! Thank you to everyone!!!

I also know the Jefferson State Cruisers will do a great job taking over the reigns for Tony & I for the 10th anniversary of this great family ride.

PS - I'm going to try my best to write this one up for TT & properly recognize some key participants
