Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:41:30 GMT http://porc.purdue.org/News/article/sid=82.html Spring Break 2008 - Harlan, KY The PORC'ers are heading back to the land of bluegrass and moonshine for another week of wheeling and 'round-the-campfire shenanigans. The Black Mountain Off Road Park in historic Harlan is massive and can provide weeks of all-you-can-eat buffet-style abuse for all tastes (but seems to cater to the gluttons for punishment ). We are leaving on Sunday, March 9th and returning Friday, March 14th. THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL PORC FUNCTION This trip is open to all club members. However, Harlan is about 400 miles from here and you will have to trailer your rig there. Vehicles may be subject to a technical inspection prior to the trip. Both rules are to avoid logistical nightmares that might stem from having a massively broken rig in the middle of BFE. Financial requirements: -$100 (approx) per person for a six man cabin or camp for about $60-$90 for the week (all group accommodations are now complete and at this time there are no openings in the 3 units we have reserved) -$50 food and drink at camp and trail -$40 travel gas/food/drink -$150 gas (you know your rig, maybe more or less than this) -$300 spare for parts (doesn't have to be cash, but you need to be able to have this if you break) Vehicle and Personal Requirement Discussion Links to Harlan websites: http://www.harlancountytrails.com http://www.harlancountycampground.com (Our accomodations of choice) Please Contact an Officer if you have any questions.

We started it in 2006 to give back to the Badlands for the great deal that they give us. Kind of a 'thank you' and also a way to help keep the trails there looking good. We typically walk most of the trail (not sure which one we're doing yet) with several rigs driving along to haul trash. We'll supply trashbags......please bring your own set of gloves. If you have any questions / discussion this is the place. Here's a couple of photos from last years event: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 22:15:53 GMT http://porc.purdue.org/News/article/sid=75.html PORC t-shirts are here.
