Elko, NV Labor Day Camping Meet (Aug 29th-Sept 1st)

[nfpgasmask]

Hey everyone,

I have been talking to a couple guys on this forum:

http://www.banginbones.com/forum.shtml

One of the guys seems to know the area pretty well and offered to show us around. I didn't agree to anything yet, as I wanted to get a consensus from everyone who is coming. I have no idea who the dude is, but he seems somewhat keen to meet us and our VXes. I have no opinion either way, so I just wanted to see what you guys think before I reply with a yes or a no on having him give us a tour...

What does he drive?

[nfpgasmask]

Since we are going in pretty much blind it might be a good idea to have a... um... good idea... of where we could and/or should go. When he says "tour", I would like to know more about what that means... so color me curious.

I'll reply back and see if I can get a little more info on what/where he would like to take us. Honestly, I would like to see some of the natural areas out there, so maybe it would be a good idea.

What does he drive?

Well, considering his name on that forum, I would say a Hummer.

Hummerboy seems to be on his game and jazzed to have some people to chill with. I'm cool with a tour or whatever, I know we are going to have a good time with good pics no matter where we decide to go. How are you going to include a Hummer in your movie tho?

Yeah, I will see what I can work out with him. That reminds me, I need to update the movie thread. I drew up a storyboard for the opening. I just haven't had a chance to scan it. I will try to tonight.

We are thinking about this. I can't find much info about the area. Jeepers Jamboree does hold an event in the Ruby Mountains every year but no details as to exactly what trails.

Cool, Todd!! It would be good to have you along for the fun! I'm gonna keep talking with Hummerboy and see what kind of trails he has in mind.

If we come we may bring the family (3 rigs). I registered on their forum but yet to post. I would like a description of trails (they host the Jeepers Jamboree) since I would want to run some of their more aggressive trails.
Ken mentioned a national park north of Elko. No such thing as far as I know except that I heard some guy is trying to make that happen but I seem to remember Ruby Mountains not where he was talking about. Took 30 years to get Great Basin in as a national park.

Hey man, the more the merrier. I don't see any issues with that. I'm sure you would have fun.

I think maybe he meant National Forrest and not National Park. I am pretty sure much of that area is Toiyabe National Forest.



If you look at that map, the green area above Elko is probably what he was talking about. I am pretty sure there is some nice scenery in that area.
