The county where Rausch Creek is just had the stay at home ordered /only essential businesses open exended to June 1 FWIW.

Doesn't Rausch Creek fall under an essential business as a mental health treatment facility? I know I go insane when I don't spend enough time wheeling.

The National was cancelled, same location for 2021. I have nothing to do with this or the board, only posting because no one shared the decision here.

 

[PetesCj-8]

Shame it was cancelled but I'm very happy the venue wasn't changed for next year.

It isn't surprising with all the confusion out there, but it is good that it will be in the same place next year for us East Coast people.

Dang it! Craig maybe I'll see you on the vintage run in NH.

Thanks for letting us know Eric. I was coming in to see if a decision was made. Now to call the hotel

 

[Domin8]

I hope my Scrambler will be done before then, so I could attend this.

 

[MikeV]

I was really upset that I couldn't make it this year since it's close to me but on a positive note I'm definitely gonna make it next year and meet everyone finally in person after enjoying this forum so much!

Sounds lousy but this works for me. Hurt my knee at work in November, surgery beginning of March, still not right and I have done zero to my Scrambler(or anything else) since then. Extreme skeleton crew at work, best I could have done is get to the gathering at 6pm one night to meet everybody for a few hours then head home. See y'all next year?.

suck man. Sorry to hear that. Feel better!

 

[barrys]

Thanks! Swelling won't go down in knee, tests show nothing. Surgeon/DR (with 25 years experience)has no clue why.

Oh man, that’s got to suck all holy hell.

Sounds like time for at least a 2nd or 3 rd opinion and no wasting time. Life is short and time is burning my friend !

Just want to throw this out, we have the annual Sandblast Scramble that is held in Mears, Michigan at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes ORV area that's slated for July 25- Aug 2. The "big weekend" is the second of those weekends, we just had so many people who were adding to the long weekend and turning it into a week-plus family vacation that we started throwing together a week of activities. (My family is up there even longer and @MrBeep also is up there longer)

This "event" isn't really an event, there's no fees or anything, just a set of activities you can choose to do or not as you like and it will be "on" as long as the Dunes are open.

If folks are looking for an alternative and the state allows the dunes to open (June 3 currently) and stay open, this could be a great option.

Here's the thread for this year's schedule, planning, info, etc and it links back to past years' threads:

Hey Eric, is this still going to happen? We are thinking about coming up for it, but hear that you usually have to reserve a camping spot 6 months or more in advance. Before I get too crazy digging into it, I just want to make sure it is still happening.

Thanks! Jeff

Yes. I was able to get a second campsite just a couple weeks ago and there are plenty of places to stay outside of the one “main” campground regardless. It would be great to see you up there.
