TILLAMOOK, OR
- A short notice didn't slow down this year's crowd
of Suzuki enthusiasts. Beautiful conditions made for a stellar day of
wheeling and whimsy. Several new faces were seen and new friendships
created during the eight hour gathering in the TSF, Brown's Camp OHV
recreational area. With little formality we all met at the Brown's Camp
staging area and lined up into groups based on vehicle build up. After a
short welcome message, the groups were off.
This year everything was
simplified even more to get back to the basics of what it's all about.
Suzuki enthusiasts getting together to celebrate a common interest and
have some fun wheeling down the trails. That was the goal and that is what
took place.
| The "stocker" group or
vehicles with less than 29" tall tires and no locker went on
quite a loop. Dave Arnold, from the Mid Valley Crawlers led this
group through several of TSF's fun and more gentle trails.
The "moderate" group led by Jason
Hoff, from the Mid Valley Crawlers, consisted of Suzuki vehicles
with at least 29" tall tires and one locker enjoyed new
obstacles that had just been finished on one of the premier trails
in the area.
Finally, the "difficult" group led by
Matt Verley, from the ZUKIWORLD Forum, for Suzuki vehicles with 33
inch tall tires and two lockers went to tackle the ever popular
Crushers trails.

Following the day of wheeling, most participants
met up for a group picture with all of our vehicles. One group was still
on the trail due to an equipment failure and they missed the photo op.
After pictures it was off to a spaghetti potluck dinner at one of the
campsites, some tomfoolery around some campfires, and then a good night's
sleep. See you next year!
