Well March is upon us and it will soon be time for the Sierra Chapter's third annual run to Frank Raines OHV park on Saturday, April the 7th. Unfortunately weather and other conditions will cause this park to close with little or no notice. As of right now the park will be open for camping and off-roading. Last few years we have had a great turnout for this run. Hopefully we will have another great day. We tried in the past to have a pot-luck BBQ. If there is enough interest again this year, we can do the same. I just hate seeing a bunch of good BBQ going to waste while the majority of people eat sandwiches, but hey this is about whatever you guys want, right? So what will it be?

We will be having lunch once again at the park about 1/2 mile away from the OHV area. There is a small playground for the kids and a nice grassy area to relax and eat lunch.
This run is open to everyone. Members and non-members, and all types of vehicles too. Not just XJ's.
All skill levels of driver and even stock vehicles can have a good time too. I will host an easy run for those interested in a little sight seeing around the park. Most everyone else will be playing on the rocks.
Some pics from the last few runs.....
