Tackett Creek Group Ride - Thursday 6/1 - 9am

[Adam490]

Open invite for anybody that wants to tag along to Tackett Creek. This will be an "easier" family-friendly ride to check out Slate Rock, the old cabin, McLean's Overlook, and the Sand Caves. I'll have my 6 year old with me and @Bcavin351 will have his 6 year old as well.

Limited Group - PM or Post if interested
8-10 Machines

We'll meet at the parking lot of the Mexican restaurant at exit 141 for 9AM and depart shortly thereafter (no later than 9:30). Plan is to be back for around 5PM barring no setbacks. There are about 9 miles of blacktop we'll be covering to get to the trailhead.

**Be prepared to complete the entire ride. There is no quick way back.**

* An "Easy" trail means something different to everyone. A stock machine won't have any problems, but you will want an aftermarket skidplate. If you have any concerns just reach out.
* No need for extra fuel, but be sure to top off machine before we leave. A few of us will have a couple gallons in case of emergency.
* There shouldn't be any need to winch
* Bring a lunch and snacks

Our route will be:

Mexican restaurant parking lot to Eagle Rock/Trail 1
RRB trails over to HWY 25
HWY 25 to Duff Rd (blacktop)
Duff Rd/Davis Creek Rd to Tackett trailhead (blacktop)
Slate Rock
Cabin
McLean Overlook
down to Sand Caves
down mountain from Sand Caves to old RR bed (this is the toughest section)

Any questions post them up or shoot me a PM!

If you've got the room in the group, I'd like to tag along. I've never been over towards Tackett. Plus, I've got the maturity of a 6yo, so I should fit right in.

That ride sounds like what we'd like to do with our group. We have a few kids as well. However, we will be driving down Thursday too. Maybe someone will be doing something similar to that ride on Friday.

I seconded this. Our group wants to head that over that way with 4 or so kiddos. We will also not be down until Thursday afternoon.

We'll probably join you but can run as our own group to make it easier since I'll have 4-5 with me.
