It looks like the restrictions on fordyce will be lifted soon, I'm hoping before the event. If so then we will run fordyce on Friday, or signal peak. Everything is depending on what folks want to do :smile5:

Looks like the trail will open Wednesday.

Nevada City …fire restrictions in the tahoe national forest (tnf) will be lifted at midnight on Wednesday, September 26, 2007, announced steve eubanks, forest supervisor. The cooler temperatures and wetter weather prompted forest service officials to end restrictions. This enables recreationists to have campfires in the backcountry and operate internal combustion engines in the forest. As fall progresses, visitors are reminded to be very fire safe as the weather can turn warm, dry and windy. “please do your part to be fire safe. This past summer, 65 abandoned campfires were discovered and put out. This continues to be a major frustration. People are not using common sense when it comes to fire safety,” stated eubanks.

Had a great time at the fall rallye seeing all the internationals in one place and meeting all the people there. I would be very interested in future get together's and get some more driving time in my just finished 73' Scout to work out any bug's and then get some trail time. Thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable day.

Wow! What a great turn out. I don't know where to start. The facilities at lake francis are awesome. There was so much to do there and just a beautiful place to camp. The staff at the park were more than accomodating and they look forward to seeing us next year. We are already planning a big rock pile for next year.

Big thanks to cary riley and Mike hill! You guys did a great job with the planning. I know I helped but you two guys did most of the work and deserve the credit.

Another big thanks to all the sponsors - IH only, Isa's IH, anything Scout, black dawg offroad, California Scout corporation, Super Scout Specialists, IHSTO, binder bulletin, rustic woods trophy, doc's ice cream social, karen & marty simpson, riebes auto parts, affordable fuel injection, Auburn honda, NorCal Scouts, silicon valley scouts, and grapevine scouts. Without your support and donations it would have made it financially tough to get this show off the ground and have a great raffle prize turnout.

Sunday's breakfast was delicious. I didn't expect such a feast. Thanks to cary, Craig johnson, Matt mcgee, doc, dave perez and others for such a fantastic meal.

And a final thanks to all of those who attended. We had upwards of forty IH vehicles make it to the show with 31 of them entered into the show. I hope everyone had a great time and hope to see you all and more next year.

Look for pics to be posted in the next day or two.

Yeah, it was an excellent show. Can't wait for next year; already reserved my cabin.

Here is an early morning photo of the lake from Mike.

Great time in a great location. I can't believe how many trucks were there considering it was the first year. You guys did a great job. Can't wait for next year. Did you say rock pile :icon_eh:
