Okay guys. It's that time of year again. Time to deforest the wilderness in the name of holiday cheer!
The NWOL Christmas tree runs are live!
We'll be doing two as usual. A Saturday and a Sunday run. Register here:

Sunday:

Winter is coming in hot (cold?) this year. Make sure your vehicle is ready. Solid front and rear recovery points are mandatory for this run.
Shovels are a great idea. Garden hoes are a great idea. Tire chains may be useful as well. There have been times where the decent is super icy.
Also make sure YOU are ready. Dress well for the cold. Have enough gear to spend the night. Not plan A of course but things happen.
Please bring a little bit of firewood as we'll be having a fire at the top so you can warm up while finding the perfect tree.
We will be camping at Ranger Creek for the weekend if anyone would like to join us there. Bring lots of wood in that case... It'll be cold!
This is one of our most fun annual events. Please don't take this post as trying to scare anyone away. It's just my usual winter preparedness speech. Always better to be over prepared than under.
See you there!
In for Saturday. I'll try to talk everyone in to spending the night as well.
Suhweeet!
Count us in for the weekend of course!!!!
Woo!
Hello Aaron, I somehow screwed up when I registered for Saturday's event a few days back and when I checked just a minute ago, I about had a heart attack when I didn't see our name on there and that the registration is closed for Saturday. Is it still possible for us to get in on the festive fun? Id just sign up for Sunday instead but we have prior obligations that need to be attended to. Thanks!
The list on the events page doesn't populate automatically. I can't see who all is signed up but we'll assume the registration was successful. See you Saturday!
@Aaron Kravik Thank you! See you then!
Signed up for Sunday, but if all goes well I should be meeting everyone Saturday night at camp.
Sweet! I don't think we've ever camped together. If you beat us to camp look for my trailer. I plan to be about halfway down the runway at the windsock but we'll see how busy it is out there.
@Aaron Kravik Never been to Ranger Creek before, but we will look for the ASS.
Aaron and all, letting you know that we are no longer able to make it today. Have fun and be safe.
My apologies however not going to be able to make it. My wife is recovering from surgery so going to stay home and support her.
Enjoy the Holidays!
@Aaron Kravik,
I registered for Sunday, thinking it was for the 15th. Olga's out of town so we won't be going to get our tree until next weekend. I can't see anyway to unregister to free my spot back up. Can you unregister me somehow?
Thanks,
Craig
Thank you all again for a great time out.
Any photos?
