Thumbs up Mt.Hood X-mas tree run DEC 11th Sat.

DEC 11th...This Saturday.

When
December 11th, Saturday

Where
MT. Hood Nat'l Forest

Meet Up
Estacada Ranger Station...
http://www.communitywalk.com/locatio...tations/177687

Time
930am, departing no later then 10am.

Requirements: For this run you should have
1.Tow points front and rear.
2.Spare tire and jack that is functional.
3. Pack some water and snacks, and extra warm clothes and a blanket if possible, it always makes it more fun if people are always warm enough!

Recommendations: For this run it would be nice if you had a
1. CB radio or a small GMRS/FRS type radio.

I always bring an extra hand held radio, if someone wants to borrow it for this run, you can.
As you progress going on trails with others, you will see the need for communications as a basic item to have. This trip will be a "basic run" so please come if you have never been on a run as well. I won't be getting a tree myself but will enjoy the trip.

If you would please acknowlege here you are going so we know how many to expect, that would help us in planning the trip.
There is no limit per say, just looking at what routes we will be taking with the type of vehicles we will have as well. Hope you can make it.

Yes. It is going to happen. Anytime you see me or Outdoors post something up, it's on. We wheel whether it's just the 2 of us or 20. We just break up into groups if that many show up.

UPDATE: Rain did not let up. But, it's no excuse not to go wheeling in the Pacific Northwest. Pics to follow. My wife saw some pretty nasty mud holes and decided she wanted to drive.

It was snow with rain all day. Made for some interesting wheeling.

A few pictures.

Here's Outdoors, our friend Alvey in his Bronco and Erik or John in a chopped 4 Runner.

Where did you guys end up going? My kid had to work and I'm her transport or I'd have ran out and joined you. I grew up out in Estacada so know some of the roads out there.
