We are pretty interested in this trip, sounds like fun! We'll keep an eye on our schedule and try to fit it in. Would be fun to bring both our rigs! And who doesn't love a parade?

Very cool, I love our central Oregon history. Headed over from Prineville. Looking forward to it. Just curious if the trails are pretty aggressive and I should leave the adventure trailer home?

Scouted the first leg of our journey last weekend! It was amazing. Stopped and hiked around this meadow to stretch our legs and found an old homestead. One of our favorite things to stumble across. Also this ENORMOUS (Ponderosa Pine?) tree was there. At least 120 feet tall.View attachment 130670View attachment 130671View attachment 130672View attachment 130673
Wow, gorgeous, I was out for a drive yesterday and commenting how beautiful the scenery is with the light skiff of snow on the ground.

The trails will not be too aggressive. It is more about exploring and enjoying the wilderness together than testing our rigs. If I had an offroad trailer, I would fine bringing it.

Things are still looking great for this event. IMG_20200117_221212_017.jpgWe have some great spots in mind that we look forward to sharing. An abandoned airfield up on top of a plateau, several old homesteads, and several fire lookouts are on the list. We also plan on having lots of down time every evening and morning at camp to properly enjoy where we set up.

We are looking forward to the outing. I have some friends from Bend interested in coming but they are worried about bringing their Ford Super Duty because it's a diesel and they didn't want to "stink" up the group. I told them that I would confirm that it wouldn't be an issue.

No worries on that one my friend. They are welcome. We don't rig-discriminate! As long as it's got good clearance, good offroad tires, 4X4, and a full size spare tire that's all that's necessary for this trip.
