damn,,,why does it have to be the same weekend as the goldendale playday

and I'll miss out meeting cruxilla...bummer...I guess there is nect year...

I herd you guys were doing somthing different this year??

[toyrocs [OP]]

In years past our tlca sanction event was named "cruzin the woods" we used a  marked course ( format ) for the event. This year we are using a guided course format ( with trail leaders/ guides/ tail gunners) & have renamed the event"Tillamook Trail Series 2005" to reflect the changes.We will be running about 5 different courses each day based on driver/ rig capability. If you plan on going please sign up early.     toyrocs

wish i could go,,already planned goldendale that same date...so why the change in format??

[toyrocs [OP]]

Why was the format changed?? I'll just list a few i can think of right now 1) With about 100 rigs running all the same course, break downs & stucks became a serious problem( the breaks / stucks usually happen in the worst possible places where there is no bypass / go around & we had difficulty in getting in a postion to winch or reteive a rig) this would back up many people & make for a very long day getting everybody back in camp. 2) With a guided format we can rate each rig for capablity & run a specialized course based on the driver/ rig capablity( for the hard core/course guys we can really entertain them so they can try to break their stuff on the nasty obstacles .he he!)  For the other groups a trail that will challenge them with out a lot of breakage / damage is more appropiate.3) Last  year we had some hunter(s) vandalize / miss direct   our marked course arrows. We caught the miss direct & repostioned all the arrows , just in time before we had about 100 rigs lost in the woods ( & very pissed off) .Kelly the tsf ranger contacted the suspects in the area --- no proof-- just a little talking to-- so those individuals are aware we are watching.4) Most of the events  of this type are now guided .5)With a guided event it gives us more flexablity on trails we run due to weather/ rain etc. Hope this clairifies  our reasons for the change. Thanks . toyrocs
