Thank you to everyone who came out for Rocktober 2010!

It was our club's first event where we invited other TLCA chapters/members. Thank you to the members from Jefferson State Cruisers and Cascade Cruisers who joined us. Folks travelled from as far away as Brookings and Portland to participate in this event. We could not have done it without all of you. Thank you to our members from Central Oregon Cruisers for your help as well. I had a blast! beavisbutthead

Sitting around the campfire on the shore of SPARKS LAKE Friday night!

We met Saturday morning for our Edison Trail Run. We had 10 rigs show and 9 run the trail that day. Lots of rocks, some carnage. We ate lunch at the Kwohl Butte shelter, in beautiful weather. I forgot my camera in camp (along with a couple other key items- DOH!) on Saturday for the Edison Trail Run, hopefully other folks will be posting pics soon. The only pics I have are of the carnage to my rig, probably not interesting to others...

Both Friday and Saturday night were quite clear and cold. A campfire was a must. We really had beautiful weather all weekend, as planned.

On Sunday, we had a different set of folks join us for our Mellow Sunday Run. We had 6 trucks total for the cruise up to Broken Top. We ate lunch along a creek on the way up to Broken Top. The little ones seemed to really enjoy it!

About to hit the trail

We plan to schedule this event again next year, but we will certainly be making some changes for next year's event. We have already begun planning and have a few new ideas. Please let us know what worked and what didn't! Help us to make this an even better event!

Thanks for having us! We didn't end up doing as much as we had planned, but we still ended up learning a lot. Great to meet you all.

Thanks again for a great time and a challenging run. Great job Carlos.!!! My 4Runner is a lot more confident in it's ability now. Next year it would like to start earlier so it can do the last leg of the trail too. It would also like to install lockers so it can keep up with Sue. Any advice ?

 

[Yotatom]

Great idea

Badass, want to see more pics.

I second that.

Tom - Hit up Gnob or 2ndGenToyoFan in our club.... they will have the advise needed for your runner

thanks tom for your compliment. I sure did enjoy the run. However, pics of me can go to the wayside!!!

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to hear everyone had such a great time at this year's Rocktober Event!

The event was a success because all of you made the effort to be there. I had a great time because all of you are such good people. Thank you all again for coming out to our neck of the woods, wheelin' on our trails, and being patient and respectful during the trail rides to others and the environment. I'd invite any of you back again for another 'tour'. Thanks to all of you- there was an event.

Sue- Yeah, that pic of you is not flattering. Sorry.

Joel- It was great getting to meet/hang with you! Hope we get to run into each other again. Let me know when you get a blog going for your adventure. I'd love to follow along.

Cheers, Carlos
