["Steph Teeter" <steph@endurance.net>]

I'm trying to get a feel for how many riders to expect on this ride -
anybody that thinks they might come - please let me know
(steph@endurance.net) -

OR - if you can come and help in anyway, that would be great! Let me know so
I can figure out a great job for you!

Come ride the trails in southern Idaho's rugged Owyhee County!

September 1, 2001

100 miles, 50 miles, 30 miles

And we are also offering a 10 mile Trail Ride

The Trail: will include some climbs into the Juniper and Pines at the base
of the Owyhee mountains. The rest will consist of dirt road, cross-country,
cow trails, ridge tops and sand/gravel washes - there will be a little bit
of everything. Footing is generally good, but there will be some sand and
rock. Pads or Easyboots are recommended. 100 milers will have easy dirt
road/cowtrail loops in the morning and the evening. This should be a
moderate 100 mile course. There will be one vet check away from camp. We
will have glow sticks for the 100 milers, plus September 1 is a full moon so
it should be easy going at night.
The Weather: Average high temperature for September 1 is 84 degrees, average
low is 53.

The Camp:will be a large field on our ranch outside of Oreana, Idaho. We
will provide horse water, please bring people water.
