Blazer Bash 2023 General Discussion thread **see latest post for updates **Registration closing tonight 9/6/23***

In line with the General Discussion items,

I may not be at BB this year, my kid is into Mountain Bike racing and has a race that same weekend. There's a chance I'll be one of the coaches as well so right now I'm up in the air about BB or mountain bike race.

For trail leaders discussions you might want to work around that information for right now.

Family first but it won’t be the same without you.

I may or may not be coming with my truck, if my brother wants to go then I’ll take it, if not I’ll help.

I’ll do that. Hate to not have you not there but totally understand the reasons.
 
Little update. Working through all the paperwork to keep things rolling. BLM required redoing all the permit info due to me taking over from Wade. All is complete, but it takes time for them to give the official permit. My contact is certain of the approval and has reached out to my contact at the county to assure them the permit will be secured.

My contact at the county is aware of the current situation I have going on at home but final approval won’t happen until June she said.

The process is slow but still chugging down the line.
 
Have I ever said that I am so happy that you are the one who took this over? Nice work.

To those following this, it has been more than I dealt with. Rob has a longer time to do it which is benefitting him. But the amount of time spent is ridiculous.

It’s crazy with all the hoops but it’s worth it in the end.

Welcome to the awesome event of Blazer Bash! Begin to look up a place to stay ( airbnb, hotel, or camping). Try to find a place near Old City Park is where the dinner and most trail meet ups happen. CB radios are still used but slowly changing to ham radios ( iv been using a rugged radio) typically hot so bring hats sunglasses and sun block. Bring spare parts for break downs Don't forget to bring wads of cash for the raffle items and a **** yeah attitude!
 
Is there a good place for primitive camping close by? I had been looking into the rugged radios at one time so may need to go ahead and get one. Is there any night time riding if so I’ll need to upgrade my lighting too.
 
BLM land south of town. I have camped out there a few times. 10 minutes away from the closest anything.

If you get a $30 china ham radio (baofeng or equivalent) heres the magic frequency list. Rugged is on these frequencies. If people are on open frequency (no privacy codes) then everything works together.
