Last I heard, there is no border check between Nevada and Oregon.
You could even use the paved highways........
Dry lake beds are fun too.

CrnCnn,

Keep your left up.

Float like a banana, Sting like a plantine.

As the little fat lady said in Poltergiest. "all are welcome".

Thanks for the replies.

I notice most of you have looked at the date and made the usual comments. I actually have never used the "meet" posting before and date was just left on default.

I wasn't sure if there would be any interest so I was just throwing it out there... this idea is for a meet sometime this spring: May, June.....

So at the moment, just taking ideas on locations, activities, etc....

All input is welcome

Maby us northern guys could meet up at Riff Raff's "Longhorn" and caravan down. !

4 or 5 VX's driving down I 5. Yea....... we could turn some heads.

**KeithVXlvr** · 05/01/2009, 02:41 PM

Great Idea !!

**Riff Raff** · 05/01/2009, 06:12 PM

Keith--- I just found a cool website: www.Trails.com At the website you can specify "off-highway" (off-road) trails, and it will show an aerial view of WA & OR with various "icons" for different off-highway trails.

After a very quick search, I found one that may be of interest and somewhat centrally located to VX'ers in both WA & OR. It is "MARBLE MOUNTAINS" (Cougar, WA). Take I-5 Exit #21 (Woodland, WA - last chance for gas) to WA-503 (East) to Nf-90 (East) to Nf-25 (North) to Nf-25 (West - to moutain top dead-end/turn around point). According to the website, it's a 10.8 mile off-road venture with moderate degree of difficulty for 4WD's (pretty easy). The forest road is nestled inbetween Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Adams with spectacular views. Just an example for ya'.

Wherever we decide to go for our 1-day outing, it should be fairly close to a major freeway like I-5 (preferably) or I-84 or major connecting highway, etc. This will allow people to get home in a timely manner afterwards (very important). "Sunday's" would work best for me (I can't make any Saturday due to work).

WOW, that is one fine site you have come across. Thanks

**don moore** · 05/01/2009, 10:54 PM

portland is fine ..gorge is great with the waterfalls..what ever im in... and a convoy going north up I5 would look good ...even the out of the area guys (nevada) could come up to my place the day before

and stay the night.. then go up the next day..

**KeithVXlvr** · 05/04/2009, 01:12 PM

All,

It looks like the:

PN
VX
Meet

Will be on a Sunday, Sunday Sunday !!!!

Basic outline:

Meet in mid-morning 10:30 - 11:00 in the Portland area.

Wait around for late arrivals, say hello, shake hands, hand out maps of the course etc...

Go on a drive: mostly on-road and some off-road (basically a flat dirt field with some mud, rocks and climbs.. never need to shift out of TOD.

Stop for lunch where there is parking for everybody, space for photo ops etc...

Hand out ballots for lunch awards... Catagories like: Best hair, most likely to break their VX off-roading, best muffler sound, farthest travel distance to attend, most useless modification over $100.00, etc.. ( These awards are supposed to be meaningless and stupid, so suggestions are welcome )

Eat lunch and drink beer - hand out awards.

From there we can finish lunch and head home.

As we all know, there will be no way to get a date that works best for everybody so, PLEASE respond to the below

Sunday, May 24th
Sumday, June 7th
Sunday, June 14th
Sunday June 21st.

Let me know which days you can attend, not which day you prefer....... So respond to all dates if they are all acceptable. The date that gets the most attendees will be the date... it is that simple.

Thanks,
