WCRM VII.5 - Baker City Oregon, Sept 10-12

[Mr Sunshine]

I'll be deciding by Saturday morning.

If I do go...anybody up for leaving Thursday and riding over from the Seattle area?

[greench440]

Read back a few posts.  I'm leaving Thursday morning headed to Sandpoint ID.

[XLR8]

I can taste the beers at Barley Browns now.  

[greench440]

Or Mick Duff's in Sandpoint.  2 blocks from the LaQuinta.

If your long way means the very long way, going over Forest Rd #39 from Joseph to Hell's Canyon, well ... check it out.  

Can't they dump a few wheelbarrows of dirt in and tamp it down?

Seriously though, the pic looks like springtime.  Do you know if it's still out?

pic came from OR road website and was listed as closed the day I posted it (or about 2 wks ago)

I'm in.  XLR8 told me that the Hope Diamond is just sitting on a table in the town square and I wanna see it.

Yeah, you're right.  FS website sez it's out for the year basically.  Maybe with a running start, I could sneak by on the hillside above the road.

Make sure you set up a video camera first.

Or we could set up a couple of railroad ties etc and you could show us your evel kneivel impression.  You'd be a YouTube sensation!

I think there's a Baskin Robbins there now.

Looks like I get to train a new lead mechanic on how the dayshift runs (he is from graveyard).
 I will need to work with him and get him up to speed all this next week.
 Looks like I will be leaving Friday after work, should arrive Saturday morning and back on out Sunday morning.
So much for 6 days off, but I do get the weakened off to ride

[Mr Sunshine]

I decided to not come.  I have something to prove at the races.  So I'll see you guys at next years WCRM sometime in June somewhere in California.

[greench440]

Something to prove often leads to spectacular crashes.  Beware the red mist.   The bartender at the Geyser Grand is going to miss you.

Now that the date is closing in,

WHAT HOTEL ARE YOU STAYING AT

I have to make reservations some recommendations would be helpful

[greench440]

The Oregon trail motel $42 per night see first post for a link

[UHOH]

Pretty sure this is the list as of Sunday 4PM:

Greench440
UHOH
Andrew
XLR8
etachell,
Mr. X
jpred
the true mystery rider
CalCat
Major 662


I'd guess we'll probably be doing Oregon Trail Motel 'parking lot social hour' before dinner ... and probably afterwards, too.

[XLR8]

Mystery rider eh? Well there's only one person I can think of and if they come it will be good to meet them. I'll be dual sporting it from Boise across the back roads and through the canyon unless I decide to run down from Sandpoint, ID with Greench440.

Staying @ the Oregon Trail. See you guys there.
