Bill will be in the PNW between 9/22-10/14, using Portland as a base camp. To get club-based training on the schedule will require a 50% deposit. (The same would be true, though on an individual basis, for reserving a spot in an advertised class, none of which have been posted yet.) Deposits would be payable directly to BB4WA (Bill Burke's 4-Wheeling America).
If you don't know Bill's work, have a spin around the
4-Wheeling America website. There's a useful collection of
articles as well as
experiential trip and
training schedules. There's also a nice little video about Bill's training classes:
Bill Burke's 4-Wheeling America
I propose the following dates:
- NWFJCC On the Road (OTR): Sat-Sun 10/3-10/4 or Sat-Sun 10/10-10/11
- NWFJCC Hands-on Recovery: Mon 10/5 or Mon 10/12
The Recovery class would ideally be paired with the OTR to allow attending both on consecutive days.
I want to work around Cascade Cruiser's annual Cruisin' the Woods, which is scheduled for 9/26 (TLCA has this wrongly as 9/29), and the proposed dates tentatively scheduled by another club.
With Bill in Portland, the likely location would be Browns Camp in Tillamook State Forest.
Here's what's needed:
- OTR: 8 vehicles @ $465/vehicle
- Recovery: 6 vehicles @ $250/vehicle
You should be prepared to pay a 50% deposit as soon as we have a full roster.
Remember: Prices cover up to two adults per vehicle, so
with an adult co-pilot, your share is reduced by half.
We still have some spots open, so please post up ASAP!
