The links for the videos don't seem to work properly, I don't know why. If you highlight the link, right click on it, you can choose to go directly to them. My apologies, I don't do this often.
Here's some more random photos from the weekend: Cheers!

Had a great time, met some good people, & did a little exploring in an area that I had never been to with my Jeep before. Will try to make it back again next year!
Thanks Mike & family for a nice outing. |

The 2023 Spring Fling has come and gone, and it was a great time. The weather was perfect with high temps in the 70s and sunshine in the afternoon. Conditions were dry as it hasn’t rained in three weeks or so, gravel roads were dusty to say the least.
Saturday, Mike led us on some roads through the Willamette National Forest with one fun challenge trail littered with logging slash and logs. It was a fun crawl over them until they became too numerous and large to go further.
Sunday was a longer tour, and a loop out to Oakridge. An attempt at a high elevation route led us into snowdrifts left over from this winter/spring snows. We managed to navigate many of them, but the final drift was just impassable, so we were forced to turn around. Our lunch stop was at a rock quarry with a lot of fun rock climbs and deep snowdrifts. We passed an area that was recovering from a recent burn: There are many covered bridges in the area, here is one of them as we left a park. There were some mechanical issues and some heroic fixes to keep the jeeps going, but all of them made it home one way or another. Many thanks to Mike and Tammy for their unlimited hospitality, this is an event I look forward to each year. It was a great time and I got to get my shiny jeep legitimately scratched and dirty.

Trailer serviced & ready to roll. The 10' Willys looks kind of silly on this 18' trailer, but it's all I could scrounge up.
What time should we plan on arriving tomorrow morning?

I'm getting nervous about the debt ceiling fight. I'm a military pension guy and would probably get caught up in a default.
Otherwise, I'll come up Sat early AM and return Sunday afternoon (one night)

Planning on showing up early Saturday morning. Took the jeep for a drive today and all seemed OK, so I'll go over things just for good measure and top off the undercoating reservoirs with 90 wt. and hope for the best ('cause ya never know).
