Title: Black Rock Mountain Hike and Camp Out
Post by: JohnnyO on September 05, 2023, 07:47 AM

On the weekend of Sept. 16th and 17th we're going to combine a Land Rover focused weekend in the Ghost PLUZ area with a Saturday hike up to the Black Rock mountain fire lookout and then camp in the area that night.  If others are interested in more of a 4x4 outing that would be great too and we can meet up at the end of the day.  Let me know if you are interested and we'll finalize the plans and post the details.

Hey this sounds great John.

Happy to come out from Kelowna as I'll be in the Banff area anyway ;).

Looking forward to seeing the deets when you have them and meeting some fellow members for the first time!

Right on Def110 & Luke!  Happy to have you both aboard.

Does anyone out there have any Facebook talents to create an event on the club page?

Thanks guys for the great weekend.  Everything came together - we enjoyed getting out with the Land Rovers, bagged a peak, cooked over the open fire and enjoyed the company.  All with the best possible Fall weather.

An excellent weekend where we got to meet fellow Land Rover enthusiasts, see spectacular scenery, hike a big mountain and sit around the campfire... what more could you ask for.

Yes thanks everyone.

I'm glad I was able to meet up with you all!

There was talk of the Idaho Panhandle Overland Rally Sept 29-Oct 1 so I'll reach out with a PM about that.

Also there is the Northwest Challenge being help in Princeton Oct 6-8. If anyone is passing thought Kelowna on their way down feel free to reach out maybe we can drive together.
