Let’s try this weekend. Who is coming?
Same as before, this is more an exploration trip than simple drive. Wrong turns, downed trees, closed gates, etc. may force changes to the plan. I will be monitoring forest service information for any announcements that may impact the trip (for example, Dick's Creek, which comprised a significant section of last year's trip, has been closed). Any stops will be done as-needed and camp sites will be determined as available. I would call it overlanding, but we don't have any patches. :D

All participants should be self-sufficient for food, fuel, comfort, etc. The club will provide some food; details to come. We will need at least one chainsaw, so please post if you are bringing one.

This year the club is also asking for signup payments for planned club rides. Proceeds will go towards event needs such as propane, food, campground fees if applicable, etc, and all participants will receive an event sticker. Paypal info@upstatecruisers.com or PM if alternate means are needed to hold your spot. Non-refundable. Club Member; $10/vehicle, Non-club Member; $15/vehicle.

My volunteer work day is canceled due to the shutdown and so we can make it!
 
Crispy, still trying to figure out if I can make this before I commit. If I do go, there will be plenty of room for firewood.
I haven’t forgotten that you already paid for the first round. Your credit is still good. ;)
 
Hump day update

Going grocery shopping tonight for Friday's dinner (probably some sort of tacos) and Saturday's breakfast (probably some sort of chicken veal) for 4. Anyone else joining the group, let me know asap.

The forest service site still hasn't been updated due to the government shutdown, so road conditions are even more an unknown. It's okay, we are in Land Cruisers, so long as gates aren't locked. General news about public lands has been filled with complaints of trash. We will pack out our own as usual, but plan to potentially haul out other's too.
 
Well, make that for 3 as I'm 0 for 2 in this attempt to get out there! I now have a family emergency that is requiring me to head out of state. ugh. So bummed but you guys have fun.
 
Still unsure of how my weekend will play out. I have plans Sunday at noon, so I'd most likely be heading home sat if I go.

Sorry to hear. Next time.

No problem. Cruise with us then head back at your leisure.
