Hi all,
This is the trip planning forum post for next month's Oregon Outback trip. There are a few items that you will need address before the trip.
1. Make a reservation at Tumalo State Park/Campground, Just North of Bend.

2. An Oregon ATV Pass is required. Please purchase on here:

3. Please have a gps to receive the gpx files for navigation if you plan on coming in later or get lost.
More info coming in the next few days.

Regarding #1, for how many nights, and starting which night?
Bill,
One night, Thursday night.
Dan
So excited for this trip.
It's going to be great to have you along, Nathan!
Hi Dan,
What is the max distance we plan to travel between service stations? I am trying to determine how much extra gas to bring. 5, 10, 15gal, etc.
Will you be posting/emailing the the gpx files in advance or will you share those on Thursday at the first campsite? You mentioned you would share them above.
Looking forward to the trip.
Derek
Hi Derek,
You shouldn't need more than a 5 gallon Jerry can. We will fill up in La Pine, just outside of Bend. From there the total trip is less than a tank of gas, so a gallon should do the job.
Will try yo get the gpx tracks out this weekend. Thanks for the reminder!
Dan
I'll be down in Camas on Friday for a rifle class all day - does anyone have a Garmin InReach location page they could share with me and I can come track you guys down later that weekend ?
Scott, I don't but I will have my APRS on and should have cell coverage.I can share my location with you for the weekend if that works?
@jason Please e-mail me! (dan@northwestoverland.com)
Hello Dan,
I also want to join this trip. I know it's pretty late. So don't hesitate to draw the line. I am a new member and really want to go on a trip before I start work in a few weeks. I'll be solo this trip.
Thanks!
Paul
Hey guys, We are really booked solid on this trip. However, I can make some accommodations for two more vehicles. It will just change where we camp on Friday/Saturday night. Not a huge deal. It will be great to have you along. Please go register ASAP on the event page.
Dan
Thanks so much Dan. Could you email me the gpx file? I'll be joining the group Saturday. Maybe that makes camping Friday easier.
Paul
I will be sending out the gpx files this week.
Departing from Portland. Should be there around 10ish..
John,
