This run is going to be a little different then our usual day trips to TSF or Sandlake. More of an overlanding or expedition trip. You will need to be prepared for both dirt and pavement driving. And not finishing where we started at.
The plan... Friday October 4th- Head out to Bend, OR in the late afternoon/early evening and get a hotel for the night.
Saturday October 5th- Breakfast at the Black Bear diner at 8am. Head out at 9am. Anyone that doesn't want to stay on Friday night shoould meet up at the Black Bear by 9am Saturday morning. From there we are going to head southeast of Bend. There is miles and miles of dirt roads, OHV areas, National Forest, BLM lands, Sand Dunes, and more to go and explore. The final destination for Saturday is John Day, OR. They have a very nice Best Western in town that Carmmal and I have stayed at before.
Sunday October 6th- We will play it by ear Sunday morning. Meet up for breakfast then hit the road. From John Day we will be headed NW exploring the Hwy's, Byway's, and anything else that catches our eye. It will be a lot of two lane hwy's and pavement. But hopefully we can find a dirt route in there somewhere.

First thing I have to say is bump...
Second thing I have to say is I booked a room at the Best Western in John Day, OR for the night of Saturday the 5th. Im going to be sleeping in comfort on this trip...
Third thing Im going to say is I haven't looked for a room for Friday night in Bend yet...
Forth thing that I will say is be there or be square... Yes, I just took it there!!!
