Google Maps for the Eldorado Outpost - Located just outside of the trails.

THINGS TO BRING:

You must have a trail pass. An annual pass is $30. A day pass is $5 per day. Trail passes can be purchased at the Outpost.

It often rains at least one day during the event. So rain gear and tarps are recommended. Fire wood is always appreciated.

It is a good idea to bring a tool kit and some trail spares, as I can tell you from experience that sh_t happens on the trails. We tend to help one another out so if everybody brings something, we usually have everything covered and there is an auto parts store in Troy.
_____________________________________________________

FOOD AND SUPPLIES:

This tends to be a very informal event. People come and go as they please; some preferring to hang out at camp or go fishing instead of trail riding. With the Flintlock Range now open, some will also go shooting. So bring enough food and drink to last the entire event. Food, drink and ice are available at the Outpost or in Troy. The Outpost also has a good breakfast for around $5. Usually there is a group dinner on Friday. If the weather is bad on Sat, we sometimes go into town and have dinner at Zeno's.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER NOTICE:
As always, this will be a completely un-sponsored and unofficial event ... No clubs or organizations will be overseeing the activities. This is simply going to be a bunch of friends and online acquaintances getting together for a weekend of fun, good food, and lots of off-road amusement.

ALL attendees will be utterly and solely responsible for themselves and the guests within their individual group(s) (including all vehicles and equipment), and shall be expected to abide by the laws, rules, and policies set-down by our true hosts, the United States Forestry Service and the people of the great state of North Carolina.

Had a blast out there. I wish we could have enjoyed the nicer weather on Friday, but Saturday's slick stuff made things really fun for a throttle happy guy like myself. We only ran a trail and a half on Saturday, but it's probably for the better, since my front wheel bearing was giving me fits. Although it just was a short run, it was just what I needed. Van, Dan, & Jason, thanks for coming out into the slop with us.

My buddy Joe that was riding with me will upload a video this evening and I'll get a few photos together from the weekend as well. Van, I can't wait to see the videos you took.

I've never seen a video that doesn't make it look like we're struggling on flat ground. That hill was a mother, but you'd never know it. Where is Steven Spielberg when you need him?
