syphon Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I absolutely hate saying this, but I spoke with my girlfriend and she said "Oh I completely forgot, I have class that saturday until 2pm!" We may drive down and stay saturday night, but I'm doubting it. Sorry Jared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 You guys are tied together at the hip or something? Tell her you'll see her next weekend. If the car is hers, ride with one of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syphon Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Well she's a new girlfriend. We just hooked up last weekend... and we're both busy all week. We're not exactly tied together at the hip... but I really want to spend as much time with her as I can... and let's just say the nights will be a lot more interesting if I stay here with her :-) EDIT: Ok Ok, I spoke with her about it, and she said "Well, I'll still pass if I miss class. Let's just go!" So Stefany (my girl) and I are back in! I dont think we can go offroading with you guys (there's 2 of us and my car isnt an off-roader) but we'll be camping with you guys.

ezapar Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Sounds like a cool chick. Glad you guys get to come along. More the merrier. Sooooomebody will have room for you for a ride or two. and btw. . . The first time I ever went thru EC was with a group of 5 stock Subarus. Never can tell what you can pull off in one.

SubSandRail Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 My sand buggy is 51% subaru (front and rear suspension). The tube frame is home made, and the engine is from a motorcycle (see photo). Is that close enough to a Subaru to participate? I test drove it at Evan's Creek before my last trip to the Oregon Dunes, and I think I can keep up. It would be cool to have someone to run with in case I break something.

ezapar Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Where do you all plan on setting up tents on Friday night? Campground or elsewhere? I like the fingers above 311, the far right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 i was thinking the campground... but i never have got to camp on the fingers of 311... hmmm... i guess it depends on weather and roll call. can't remember exactly the last turn for the fingers, was the last one left or right and down.... if there's too many to fit up there i think the camp would be best cause that way everyone can intermingle, and meet new people. along with morning runs would be easier if everyone is centralized. you make the call eric.

ezapar Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Depends on weather and how many, you're right. Thinkin' it might be a pretty busy place, campground might fill up quick. . . Fingers are only good if it's not windy and rainin. Cool place though, Mars is gonna be suer close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syphon Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Are the fingers difficult to locate? I imagine there are a few people that have never been there. it might be easier if the group was in a nice easy to find campground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Well, I just talked to a Ranger and Evans is definitely open. Fires are permitted in provided fire rings in the campground ONLY . No BBQ's or fires in rock pits either. Propane camp stoves are allowed. If you guys are going to be there Friday during the day then you can probably grab up a few camp spots. I bet the turn around would work best and it has a fire ring inside the shelter if memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 the turn around? is that on the same strip we camped on at the hpss? no that's right by that trailhead right?? i'll try to get there early enough to snag it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubSandRail Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 It took me a while, but I figured out that your event is for the Hatch Patrol, and my rail does not qualify (per the Hatch Patrol website). Maybe I'll see you guys on the trail sometime. SubSandRail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 This is for anyone who wants to show up. Bring your ride, have a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Jared, the turn around is at the far end of the campground. The shelter is right there as well. Not at the trailhead that is just for parking and would be a high traffic area. SubSandrail, you are welcome to show up if you like. I've heard rails being on the trail before.

Rooinater Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 i didn't mean the first trailhead. the only shelter i remember was when you are entering the campground, either take a right, straight or a left shortly ahead. it was right before the start of the easy trail going out of the campground. is that where you meant? i think that was a turn around too. or is it the left or the right section of the camp when you are heading in. that way i know exactly where i'm tagging the shelter. and i don't grab the wrong site. SubSandRail: Bring your ride. because it's not just the hp that's invited, all makes and models that want to come. i was inviting several non suby's that i 4x4 with. they might not be able to make it though, due to the fact he bent the crap out of his front drivetrain on his yota, and he's frantically trying to get his solid axle conversion in on time. i am a hatch patrol member, but this was something i was throwing together, for every 4 wheeler on this board that wants to come, and for all my friends. HP or non HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 If you come into the camp ground from the main road(not the trail) and come to the first intersection. Turn to the right, where we camped last time. Go to the end of the road and you'll see the turn around and shelter. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 all right i'll try to snag that area if it's not taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Looks like I might make it up there for Sat. YAY! Don't have a lift yet, but I'm sure it will still be cool. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subafly Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Well since Im not going to be in regular school yet, darn strike:argue: I can probaly go on friday but I might have to leave sunday afternoon. I still dont think my girlfriend can come cause of our parents:( so Ill have plenty of room for people wanting to ride. This is depending if I can get my car together. Does anyone have the console and linkages for an 86 dual range tranny? I should be getting tires today I think and the beast will be ready:banana: Tex isnt comming is he. Jared call me.

ezapar Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Last I heard, Tex was gonna be there. See you guys Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syphon Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Tex is going. I guess Jared's meeting him at his house and he is caravanning there. I MIGHT drive down with tex and jared, but only if my girlfriend gets the day off work. If not, I'll be about 3 hours behind them. Can anyone give me more detailed information on the campsite? Tex mentioned that there's no fresh water source, but are there any sort of restrooms? Any electricity nearby? My girlfriend wants to know. Anything extra anyone recommends I bring?

Qman Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 No electricity,(no hairdryers, or curling irons)(no expresso either, damn). No running water. These would be considerred primative spots. Tell her that no one even pays attention to hair/make up after the first day. Qman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
