07-21-07-WTF fundraiser at Sictar Lars Trailhead











We finally got the Sictar Lars trail finished and the ODF guys gave us to go ahead to have our fundraiser. Jake volunteered the use of his stereo equipment. he did start out the loading of the van wearind his pajamas. Jake also found a new little buddy, this cat was in his neighborhood and followed us everywhere.
Bernie, Eveth and Jon from Trailhead Cycles brought out some demo bikes for everybody to check out. They had bikes from Norco, Ironhorse and Diamondback. They and a few others also did some shuttle runs on the trail back into Gales Creek Campground. they all came back wet!

once we got all of the stereo equipment and generators in the van, we headed out to the trailhead. Sweet Septic out of Tillamook had donated the use of the porta potty for the day, so that made the even much more enjoyable. Ryan was up at the trailhead setting up his map and tent.
joe and andy showed up next. andy had a very impressive collection of music on his laptop .







He's always to happy looking also. Craig and his brother Tom came out to rock the forest with their metallica cover band. they were awesome. i'm not deaf in my right ear which was facing the speaker when they played as i worked the barbegue, but they were great.

I was pretty bummed initially about this event, I think maybe ten people rsvp'd. i didn't think hardly anybody was going to show up. Randy from ODF & Ryan from the PUMP Club.

The other Simmons brother, Dad and Roger from ODFThe ugly van war rages on! That's not my van, that is an imposter that belongs to a guy named guy.

My view from the grill.

The Causey family showed their trail and eating skills.Things turned out well, I think at one time I counted 36 people in the parking lot and tent area. I think it went awesome for a first time fundraiser. So many people did so much to make things go smooth. All the local riders are great people and i think it is going to make this trail system something great and something that all our kids will be able to enjoy! I know it made Jake happy!
