Zukiworld Fall Classic 2021 - Bend, OR
November 18th – 20th   

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! The first thing to do would be to read over the previous adventures and see if you're up to being cold and dirty for three days and to see if this trip would be something that would interest you. 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

10 - We'll be using FM radios and the MURS channels. We may switch to FRS channels to accommodate but no one will have a CB.

Thanks for the add. I have two questions for this adventure:

1. Is there somewhere in La Pine that we can park a truck and trailer? I plan to haul my rig and then leave the truck and trailer there during the adventure.
2. Is there a radio that would be recommended? I am looking into purchasing a radio for the trip and I'm open to recommendations.

Thanks.

Hey Bishop10, this Baofeng radio is a good budget-level radio that will work with the frequencies we will be using.  You can extend its range by adding an external antenna.  You should plan for some way to charge it on the trip; standby time is quite long but the battery may only last a few hours if you’re actually transmitting with it.  You can just type in a frequency, but if you want to program channels in (makes it easier to use) you will want to pick up a programming cable and download the free chirp software.  Let me know if you want recommendations for any of those accessories.  Here’s a link to the radio:

Yup, there is a great place to park and leave a trailer that is safe. It's called Gordy's truck stop and it's on HWY 97 in North LaPine or "Wickiup Junction" We'll be driving right by there to get to the woods!

 Sebrina and I are in. Hopefully this 2.3 swap goes well and we will bring the 94 Tracker. If not then we will bring our 96 X-90.

Don't forget to vote! So far, it looks like we'll do Rim Butte on Saturday and then Pine Mountain heading out Sunday....

I got some electrified warm gloves (won them) and am excited to try them out! :)  -Eric

Looking forward to it.  Mase and I should arrive super late Thursday night.  Previous years we've brought RC cars, rockets, archery stuff, boom-sticks, ziplines.  We may through some of that in if we have room...

The Christmas Valley dunes has now pulled neck to neck with Rim Butte OHV... with Pine mountain in the lead. Who will win? You decide! :)

Make sure your antifreeze is up to recommended specs. Talking mid single digits at night. Any updates on the itinerary? Looking forward to going.    Thanks Dana Pease.

As Ron and I have headed out on Sun last few years we've found more cool "Dragon's Crack" lava flow /upchuck rock formations SW of camp.  Would make a nice side venture on the way to or back from Hole in Ground if folks are interested.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!  -Stasi
