Wall of Honor

This year we are doing a special dedication to all veterans. There will be a 4x8 wall built down by the Cross in the training center field. There will be pins, and sharpie pens of a few colors, you are invited to post up pictures of any veterans current or past, and write messages of who they were, what they did and so on. You are also welcome to write a message to any or all veterans on the wall as well.
Please do not bring the original copy of youre pictures as the wall will be permenantly dedicated.
After dinner on Saturday we will have a moment of scilence and dedicate the wall. After the event the wall will be permenantly hung at the Eldarado outpost of for all to see for years to come.

MAY WE NEVER FORGET, FOR THEN ALL IS LOST!

Poker run!
We will be running the Poker run just like last year. everyone will be briefed on where the cardholders are in the OHV trail system, and as allways you will get an extra card for bringing in a bag of trash from the trail system.

I am proud to announce a new sponsor for this years ride!!

Remember Heroes.org will be sponsoring the Wall of Honor this year. Remember Heroes is a relatively new organization with one very important mission, to honor our fallen comrades even if you can not get to where they were llaid to rest. Remember Hero's can provide the service of sending fresh flowers to nearly any veterans gravesite in the country and interactively involve yourself at the same time.
http://www.rememberheroes.org/
As a reminder, be thinking about anything you would like to say to Honor any or all veterans in the coming weeks, please feel free to bring small photos to post on the wall as well(remember the wall will be incased sat night and will be sealed, you will not be able to get the picture back, use a copy if needed). The Wall will then be hung for all to see inside the Eldarado Outpost for all to see.

Remember Heroes, thank you for youre support!!
 
If you have not been to one of the past Veterans rides then this is the year to go. If you have a friend, family member or even know a coworker that has served bring them out and introduce them to wheeling and to experience the comradory that they may not have had since they were active duty.

If you have a friend, or a family member that is currently serving, give them a shout and invite them out. Even if they don't have a trail rig I guarantee they will have a ride.

BIG NEWS!!! This years poker run will be ran on a piece of property that I promise you have never seen. There is plenty for any rig, stock or built.
You will not need a ohv pass for this property. Youre rig MUST BE ROAD LEGAL.

Location will be withheld till the day of the ride, we will break up into groups with trailleaders, and tail gunners for each group. Trails are fresh, plenty of hills and rock, no mud.The poker run will be entirely held on this property, although you may still have time to wheel URE in youre on groups before dinner time and the Wall Of Honor dedication.
