Who wants to head down Friday night and stay in a no tell motel?

 

My rig is finally trail worthy again after some new mods corrected the Rubicon inflicted carnage. I'll be joining Alex and a couple other rigs making the trek from the Seattle area. See you guys Saturday morning after we register. First time to T'mook for me, should be fun.

Darn our group is only seven now but it's still gonna be good times, so uh costumes...
...Really?

 

I am NOT wearing a costume!

On another note, I just booked a room at mcmenamins grand lodge in forest grove...availability is good, so is the beer. Join me there Friday night for libations and ghost stories

 

Yeah me neither, against the wifes wishes. I'll be in forest grove friday night too but staying with my inlaws. Who knows I might be there for dinner, enjoy a cold one for me if I don't make it.

Cheers?

 

Boom, Im down. what happens if more than 100 people enter? can we still wheel?

 

Yeah brownscamp is all public access with the ohv permit, they just won't register you to participate in the poker run and raffles etc. I would imagine. There is a number you can call on the registration paper to see if they have room also. See you there!
