Previous Runs
Strawberry Pass - July 26

Paul, Candy, Andrew, & Terry
- Very scenic, not too challenging run. Ran the trail from Hwy 50 to Hwy 88 and back.
- Had a couple of good spots, some off camber, otherwise pretty tame trail after first 1.5 miles. Terry's battery came loose and pulled the ground cable off of the battery post which created a no start situation when he stalled his truck, easy fix to tighten down battery and cable. Paul broke a front brake line toward the end of the trail, a branch reached out and grabbed it. He was able to rig it to get home.
Steve & Tom's Oceano Dunes Run - Aug 8 - 10
- Approx 25 vehicles attended, mostly Toy 4Runners and Pickups. Good weather and good time. See trip reports/pics
