Just saw that the work project has been moved to Sunday November 5th. Colder but better than sweating to death.

FOTR has announced a Tahoe side workday for November 5th.

The Tahoe National Forest has asked for help in prepping the Rubicon Trail for the upcoming winter. Rolling dips need to be built up, drains need to be cleared of debris, soft spots need to be hardened and illegal bypasses need to be blocked off.

Contact Shannon, our FOTR Trail Boss if you’re interested in helping out.

There is a chance the date will change if tourn out is low, so let Shannon know as soon as possible.

Reno Jeep Festival: Oct 12-15

It’s been a slow wheeling season for me. But lots going on around the house. I’ve signed up to do a booth at the Reno Jeep Festival’s “Jeep Takeover” of Idlewild Park in Reno. I’ll also be attending the cocktail party and the dinner.

www.RenoJeepFestival.com

It starts Thursday October 12th at the Reno Jeep Dealership with a cocktail party. Friday the 13th is the dinner at The Whitney in downtown Reno. Saturday the 14th starts with an all you can eat pancake breakfast, followed by the Jeep Takeover of Idlewild Park. There will be vendors along with a “Turtle Crawl” event, Show & Shine and they’re saying a “Beer Garden”. It will be October. On Saturday the 15th, they’re trying to get some runs organized but no details on that yet.

Here’s what the organizers are saying about the event:

Freedom. The Reno Jeep Festival fundraiser supports and celebrates the groups helping to keep our trails open and safe so we can reach, enjoy and reconnect with nature and our innate sense of adventure. All this and a chance to celebrate the Jeep brand we are so passionate about. We are SO excited about this show and the support it creates with the groups protecting freedom for our outdoor and off-road community.

FUNDRAISING
It’s the reason we put this whole thing on. To raise money and protect our trails. Our aim is to keep the trails we love accessible for current and future generations.

It should be a fun event.
