Hi All, I just wanted to let you know about the upcoming National Land Rover Rally being organized by Pacific Coast Rover Club and ANARC event, May 24-27 in Redmond Oregon. I am on the Board for the PCRC, and we are putting a bunch of effort into planning the best event we can. In my humble opinion, this National Land Rover Rally in Oregon may end up being better than the average Rover (or Jeep or any model) national gathering. Here is why I say that. Like all events, we will have camping, daily runs, vendor booths, and it is in a very scenic setting. But the Bend/Redmond area is especially beautiful and scenic. Either Saturday or Sunday I am leading an all-day extra hard run. Maybe you guys could help me decide how difficult or not to make the run. There should be free classes on topics such as driving, recovery, trail first aid, radio communications, and trail preparedness. The plan is to have live music and comfortable places to hang out and spend time together. There will be daily runs that offer a variety from non-damaging scenic runs to more challenging runs. I think one of the runs may go into the Cascade mountain area. I am bringing at least 1 Series I and I am hoping to either let people drive for a test spin or have them drive with me. I haven’t decided yet. When I went to the National Moab rally we basically did runs, spent time in our small groups, and went to the one dinner with the raffle. Our club’s goal for the May event is to have an engaging weekend that provides people with fun things to do the entire time they are there. The plan is to have big free dinner Saturday also. Anyway, I encourage everyone to do whatever’s best for them, I just wanted you all to know the plan. I hope to see as many of you at the event as possible. We need to show the National Rover crowd how us West Coasters actually get down. If you have any questions feel free to email me at jesselcoombs@gmail.com or call me at 541-231-7012
