I was talking to Bill at BMP last weekend and we have decided to go for NW Gathering #3 at China Hat again. Our plan is to give early November, 7-11, 2012 a try, there might be a little moisture to hold down the dust by then. Big game hunting and all the race event are over by mid October so traffic on the trails should be reduced.

We love showing new folks the territory. This is a no-host gathering of Cafe Husky denizens and friends.
A little moisture would make all the difference and waiting til November might be the answer. Here is a link to some riding following last years event: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/china-hat-in-a-new-light.21471/
I'm always game for a EFR trip. I've got a buddy whose familiar with the single track around hoodoo, so a side trip may be in order.
They have added some near 'trials' trails at the north end of Kline; unfortunately they have also restricted more area on the south end. It is handy for a day trip from the Valley but its getting tough to avoid looping back on yourself in less than 3 miles.
Just a option to mix it up for a day , it is close to EFR for those that get tired of the quad freeway
Getting away from work, hanging with the Husky crew and numerous Brew pubs in the area ...what's not to love ?
Welp, I thought I would be back in the saddle by then... Doc says first of the year..... Count me out this year...
You are welcome to come and hang out, keep the beer cold, tend the fire, scavenge for critters to grill....
I know, I was told the same thing by my buddies.. "just come hang out".... Ya'll are a bad crowd, with bad habits, and influences... I know if I come "hang out", It will lead to much temptation to hop on a little bore, and hit the quad freeway, and......
I vote for duct taping him to the side of an RV and making some sort of game with prizes out of it. Pin the roost on the broken dude. I spoke with Blake yesterday and suggested i could pull him around in a trailer behind the 511. He was not keen on that idea.
Ya, doc says no riding, but being pulled around in a trailer, while being roosted by the 511 is cool.
