[RC] Survivors' Trek PS region (rides like the old days) - Jonni JewellThis is a note from Roxanne Greene, who is the manager of the Survivor's Trek on MAY 1 and 2. She is away from E-mail this week. If you want more information, I have a second note, that tells more. E-mail me, and I will send it to you. If you want to ride, and have enough information, then drop her a note, or call and leave a message. (but because she is out, don't expect a return call right away) Anyway, here is info, and her note. Jonni more info jonnij@xxxxxxxx entry vgreene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or call Roxanne at: 818.352.7363 ************************ Here's the skinny on the Survivors' Trek: We're looking for a few good riders ! This is an old-fashioned ride which hasn't been done since 1993 and even then it was on a different route. It will be two days-riding out to a camp(or the side of the road if they won't let us in) and back the next day. It will be 50 miles each day, and the first day will be all uphill. In keeping with the nature of the mountains in the Angeles National Forest, that does not mean that the second day is all downhill. According to current plan, a lot of it will be on the Pacific Crest Trail, so it will be a little slow going. There will not be a lot of water provided, so you must ride judiciously. Bring a small rig, or plan to leave everything but your truck at basecamp, which will be at my house. There is no room out in the mountains for humongous rigs. Small trailers can go out there, but otherwise, plan to sleep in your truck. Bring as much water as you can to the overnight camp. We don't guarantee we'll have all you need, or any for that matter. If we know you are coming ahead of time, Ann Nicholson may be talked into making dinner for us. Dave Nicholson will vet the ride if I can keep him from riding it. Bring whatever you need for breakfast, lunch, and snacks on the trail. We'll try to have something to eat back here at the house on Sunday. If we fail, there is a Coco's nearby, and a couple of real good Mexican restaurants. You can use our showers here at the house and the barn. Make sure you have warm jackets and blankets for your horses because sometimes it's pretty cold where we are going. Don't ride without your jacket and your emergency gear. We will take water to the "noon stop" each day, and some hay and grain. Plan to clean up your camp out in the mountains. We can't leave much behind, especially if we end up camping alongside a mountain road. ============================================================ One would think that logic would prevail. But then, if logic did prevail, men would ride sidesaddle. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
