Jason, is there any itenarary of what and when things will happen? Don't mean to put you on the spot but I had those questions asked to me this weekend. We've been talking it up pretty good at the Cart.

 

[Jason W.]

Yes, Just as a quick summary.

Friday the 9th, uortc gates are open to set up camp, hang out or hit the trails.
Sat the 10th, 9am poker run meeting at the shelter near the pond to split up into goups
3pm Everyone back to the training center to turn in poker run hands and hit up your hot dog guy( 2 dogs, chips and soda with the ticket from gate at entry)
4pm Awards for top 3 in the porker run, followed by something special for our senior veterans!
5 pm Memorial to the fallen ceremony at the center of the field followed by taps.
After the ceremony we will light the huge fire ring near the lower shelter for time to reflect on the day and memories of those we no longer have with us, and I am sure a few stories!

Everyone is welcome to stay till sunday afternoon to catch some more trail time!

If you or someone you are bringing with you are a vietnam veteran or older please let me know as soon as possible!
