2009 ONSC Harvest Haul October 8th-11th

[GarnerFJ40]

If you haven't been keeping up with the schedule posted under the Sticky: 2009 ONSC Club Officers and Additional ONSC Info

I'd like to annouce our 2009 Fall Ride scheduled for October 8-11 to Harlan, Kentucky.

Save the date, more details to come

I had almost every intention of attending the Southern Cruiser Crawl at Superlift OHV park in Hot Springs especially when I saw it on Xtreme 4x4 this weekend... until this one popped up... The distance I would have to travel to this site vs Arkansas has me up in the air now!

Looks like this place is pretty cool

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Just to let everyone know I fixed the dates of the ride. I posted our original discussed dates, but due to multiple home football games in the area, we switched the date.

 

[77cruiser]

Guess that made my decision easier. I cant make the new dates...

 

[lt1fire]

Jon, if I don't make the haul I might meet you guys there. My Dad and Step Mom put on dog walks once a year for cancer through one of their companies and Andrea and I always have fun at them.

(still on the fence about the haul though as I don't think i'll have any time to take off of work.)

 

[southerncruiser62]

Can we please confirm the date of this trip so I can update/merge/clear up all threads

 

[GarnerFJ40]

This one is correct...

 

[S4Cruiser]

Curious to know if we are camping or staying in hotel/motel. If not camping then I'm going to go ahead and try to book a room at a Marriott chain and use hotel points.

 

[southerncruiser62]

I was thinking we were camping, there are several sites worthy and close to the area. Brian please clarify the clubs intentions and then let others make there decisions.

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Yes, all intentions were camping, but have not verified campground facilities. So I haven't made any plans of where we were staying. Didn't know how close hotels or other amenities were to the trails...

 

[Mtbcoach]

The closest hotel/motel is a Holiday Inn Express in Harlan. Camping on the Evarts side is "spartan". Camping on the Putney side is nice. Here is a link to that campground.
Harlan County Campground & RV Park

And, camping is permitted within the area...

 

[GarnerFJ40]

I think I'm going with http://www.harlancountycampground.com/map.html. Website is nice, it's right on one of the trails. They have the passes to ride, along with SHOWERS, and other amenities. I reserved 6 sites, no money down, I just need a head count to who's going to revise if necessary. Seems they don't have a maximum head count per site, they just the total amount of people.

I'm waiting for a reply from the owners.

Joe, is there anyway we could try a trial run of an online reservation on the ONSC site?

 

[S4Cruiser]

Count me in for 2 + dog.

If for some reason we end up needing to make any sort of a deposit, PLEASE call me and we will use the club account. I see no need to attach any club event deposit to a personal account.

Also, let me know if there is anything I can do to help planning, etc.


-Jon

 

[GarnerFJ40]

I don't think there will be a need for a deposit, but I'll let you know. I'm hoping Jerry will bring us some valuable info back from his ride this weekend, on how to plan ours. I have maps, and gave Greg one, so we could get together and plan the runs for the days.

We'll need to come up with a meal plan. One group dinner, two, go out to Harlan for one? I'll look into side trips, but I have a feeling everyone going is going to want to do some wheelin...

 

[77cruiser]

Wait! so Brian its now Oct 8-11th.... sounds like my AK vs KY debate is back on!

 

[lt1fire]

I am officially out and officially off of the fence. Charlotte october fest (beer fest) is the 10th and I have over 350 beers calling my name.... and i'm going to dring everyone of them.

Wait! so Brian its now Oct 8-11th.... sounds like my AK vs KY debate is back on!

Yeah, there's been some confusion among myself and all the calendars/announcements that are floating around! Sorry about that...
