ZUKIWORLD Fall Classic 2024 - Bend, OR
November 22nd through 24th
Updated 10/26
Hello Adventure Enthusiasts!
It's official! We're going to switch it up this year and adventure in the Ochoco forest area and find all new locations to challenge us and make memories. The route and points of interest are being developed and it looks to be really fun! 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
