Possibly Craig and Andy if they have a rig by then.
I'm capping it now but am sure there will be cancellations. Let me know if you are interested and for a week long trip, we must meet first or have endoresement from one of the attendees as a "cool dude" to get on the list. Most of you are fine, but I don;t want to put an untrusted teamate on this list without having someone vouch for them on a whole week trip. If your name is on the list, please also let me know if these dates will not work for you. If I missed you, please let me know as well. I have had a lot of people express interest both on the thread and in passing. I could certainly have forgotten you.

Alert | It looks like we are out of this. With the pending Defender sale and Amy not having any time off and no rig to exped in, we will once again piss away a great opportunity.

Alert | | Scratch me as an alt. I've come down with a nasty cough that has sidelined me and it doesn't show signs of being over anytime soon. Have a great trip to those that go! | |
Traded in all my project vehicles for my 2009 Xterra, not an ounce of buyers remorse. | |

Hey Nate, Any traction issues on the playa with soft earth? Or was it pretty well packed? | |

Alert | Dry as a bone with no traction issues. Lots of bees towards the edges, so if you're going to camp on the playa then camp in the middle. | | | |

We may have Fire restrictions which would not allow us to use roads (doubletrack) with vegetation in the center that would reach the bottom of the vehicle. the first two days of this trip would include that so i may have to refigure things. | |

Alert | Hey guys, I created an album for Barlow trail. For those that didn't know, we had to scrap the steens trip due to fire issues. Kevan, Mark Scott and I did a trip along the barlow trail running the full length. We had a great campspot along the river with a beautiful view of Mt Hood.
Thanks guys, I had a great time. If you have some pictures, please post. | |
