YAY!

So happy you are going to be there... I hope you can bring the Sidekick so I can drool over the rack.  

Will you let the MVC crew know at the Wallery's meeting if that happens this week? 

-Eric

Mason and I will be there. 
GX470 or Sidekick.

I just called Cowboy Dinner Tree.  They have lots of availability on Friday and a fair amount of availability Saturday night.  If that becomes part of the plan, we will need to reserve ahead of time.

Excellent!

Hey Adventure team!  To accommodate those that would like to do the Cowboy Dinner Tree on Saturday, we'll loop through the Freemont forest / Winter Rim area and drop down into the place for dinner. We'll shoot for being there at 6p but please realize that things can go sideways in the hills and we could be delayed. So, if you want to eat at the Cowboy Dinner tree on Saturday... please make a reservation for your party after that time. At this point, I don't think I'll be doing it but I do know there are several that will be. We'll regroup at camp Saturday evening and continue with the shenanigans.

Friday will be the traditional Chili Pot Luck around the camp fire. Please bring a can of chili and a side to share...

More info coming soon.

Thanks, Eric

Just FYI; it looks like the fort rock restrooms are closed

After a mere 11 months, I finally managed to edit the footage from last year's fall classic trip. 
If you're new to this, the video will give you a good idea of what to expect:

Cowboy Dinner Tree is totally booked for Saturday.  If there are existing reservations, it may be possible to join them.  So has anyone made reservations?

I read somewhere about having a pitching in on dinner for one night? Is that still a thing or just fiening for ourselves

Hey Justin!  I know Eric's still working out the details...we were considering a Saturday night visit to Cowboy Dinner Tree, but it sounds like they may already be full.  I can't speak for others, but I will probably pass on doing any sit-down dining on this trip.  We will see an itinerary post from Eric soon with more details.  You can check out the itinerary from previous years to get a general idea for what we will be doing each day.
Sometimes we do a chili or stew feed (everybody brings a can of stew/chili and we throw it all in one big pot).  Sometimes part of the crew has dinner at the Fort Rock Diner.  There will also be a stop for supplies and fuel at some point at Christmas Valley, so you can re-stock if you're short on food for the weekend. 

Hey gang, Cassie and I (and likely our new dog Daphne) will be there.  Can’t wait!

Hello Adventure Enthusiasts!

Here's a rough itinerary, a couple of requests, and instructions for those that are planning on coming on this year's ZUKIWORLD FALL CLASSIC!

Ok - Here's the roughed in schedule! Please note that depending on weather and other conditions, we may not do all of the items listed below. If I have you on 'the list' you'll receive an email with specific coordinates to base camp and other information. If you haven't received an email and are planning on attending, please send me an email at ebewley[at]zukiworld.com
