I feel bamboozled.. This event is in California, yet posted to the Northwest group.

I agree, this is too far for a weekend trip.

My kids are out of school that week so I'm just making it a 4 day weekend. Be a long day going home Sunday if I have to work Monday so maybe 5 day weekend...

Yep it is a long way but as your interim ambassador I felt I should keep everyone informed about OLB happenings. I am having an OLB meet-up in the Portland/Vancouver area September 22 at 0900 hrs location TBD. I know its not a rally but one of the things I plan to talk about is starting a regional rally in the PNW.

No worries, I chose my wording to try and convay that I was just poking fun at it.

Thanks

I just signed up and looking forward to trekking down for the Off-Grid Rally. I am on Bainbridge Island, WA and would love to connect with anyone else headed down from the PNW to put together a convoy. This will be my first Overland Rally of any kind so the excitement meter is pegged on high.

Also my first event. I think we are headed down Thursday and going to stop in Sacramento then have an easy couple hours Friday to arrive by 3pm. I doubt our routes intersect but this is the way I'm headed.

I am not sure of my route yet, but it looks unlikely we will cross paths until the rally. If my buddy comes with me we may add some days on either side and hit some of the trails around Lassen NP. Hopefully we can connect at the rally. Thanks.
