    I’ll be out this year if those are the dates. Sadly I’ll be down riding in Baja, Mexico.

    Is there a thread started for the 2020 Spring Break yet? I would like to add it to the calendar but couldn't find the thread.

    FYI Supercross is in Seattle is Mar 28th, I don’t know if that makes any difference to any of you. For me it would be better April 3,4,5 weekend ! I have Noah on the March weekend and will probably be at Supercross! I know I’m only one cog on the wheel, but Uncle Hoot was looking for input! Ya gotta say what’s on your mind with this group, or you will get lost in the shuffle! Hope to see all you FF’s out there!

    Well to see Your smiling face I too vote for April 3 - 5 ( We will show up on Wednesday the 1st , Aprils fools day ! ) . So lets see what the other F.F.'s say . For Me it isn't the same without T.J. and Marty for that matter . Guess that means that You won't have Noah with You ? , I've been practicing so I can keep up with that Kid !. T.J. if they don't want to show up on the 2nd You and I could show up and have the hole place to our self !!! . So what say You other F.F.'s March or April with T.J. ? .:confused

    Oregon Spring Break ends on March 28/29 weekend, and March is traditional for Crooked River, so that's my vote.....(sorry, pigpen...)

    Somebody was saying last year that we should maybe move camp up to the plateau and I forget who it was but I agree with them.
    With more people wising up and driving instead of riding the river campground got packed more than it used to. Either the reservoir road staging or corrals staging would have almost unlimited room.
    Other advantages:
    That's where the riding is for the unlicensed people
    Closer to the dirty dual sporting for the licensed people
    More firewood
    We'll know what the weather is going to do more than one minute before it happens

    Cons:
    No river
    Camp would be on one of those boring desert highways instead of a cool canyon twisty road

    For me, these are deal killers for the Plateau for this particular gig. Then it's just another OHV Camp, which is fine,...so lets all meet there later in April!!

    My Spring Break pilgrimage leads me to the Crooked River each year :nod
    It's just sooooo beautiful there in camp....

    2020 will be the TENTH year, as we started in 2011 (I missed one year with a case of pneumonia).
    Can you all imagine the flash of a white dog across those big canyon hills? I sure can!

    Whats up with You F.F.'s and setting a date this year ?. T.J. I'm going to have to change My mind and go with what Jeff said , "March is traditionally when We camp at the river " and He's right :D . T.J. bring Noah and Someone will have a t.v. in one of the rigs to watch the Supercross . Joe , Crooked River isn't the same without the river or the long walk to the " crapper " . I am going to say it should be March 26 - 29th at the same old spot . we can get more rigs in there ,hell We haven't even parked across the road yet !. So what will it be ? , here ,there , now , then ? . If none of You don't say anything I'm going to use My age as in " the old Fuck " and call it as last in March ( 26 - 29th ) at the same old spot !! . Come on now speak up now so I can start packing ! . :gerg

    Ya Baby , thats what I want to hear " I'll start a new ( 2020 ) thread this weekend " . Looks like it's up to You and Me Jeff to get this thing going . I am going to tell Rick and George that the date is the 25th ( for Us ) 26th - 29th of March at the same old place . Jeff You ( Me ) got to pack the good stuff first so I don't get ( You know ) happy and forget it . You Guys have never seen Me without a buss , it's not something You really want to see anyway . So there You go , start talking some crap so I can get packing My stuff ! . Happy New Year to all You F.F.'s
