Pyramid Lake Adventure Update 4/30/07
A quick update for everyone who has been asking me what’s going on with the Pyramid Lake Adventure. First I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, AT has been in build mode now for a month, we are scheduled through July and looking at slowing down some time in 2010!!
In regard to the Pyramid Lake Adventure we have a few corner stone events in place that are backed up by some great talks and hands on demos.
Totally Off Road from Sparks, Nevada will be putting on a couple of 4X4 runs at Wind Rocks, they will be assisted by staff from Nth Degree. We are thinking of doing a run on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th if enough people want to attend both days.
We have also scheduled an SUV run into the Black Rock Desert with Chuck Fulkerson for Friday 22nd it will be an all day trip. If enough people want to do the same run on Saturday the 23rd we can put it on again. Chuck will be backed up by Nth Degree (different Nth people, there are lots of them).
We are lucky to have two experts on GPS who are willing to put on geo caching events and / or doing some talks on how to operate you GPS units to their fullest capacity. Please let me know how we can best put these two gentlemen to good use.
Scott and Matt from AT will be conduction a hands on demo on what emergency equipment to take on the trail with you. There has been lots of talk around the shop about “Zen” welding where less is more??
For alternative technology we will have the new AirX wind turbine, Truckee Biodiesel, plus lots of Solar. Bring all your ideas about diesel conversion because that’s where all the excitement is right now.
We should have a great selection of Overland vehicles at the event, Rob the Brit is talking about bringing his new Unimog up, and we should have a 4X4 tractor trailer unit pulling in. Anyone else bringing a vehicle of note?
As I said in earlier posts Pyramid Lake is a great place for fishing, swimming, sailing, windsurfing and kayaking so bring all your man / person powered toys.
So the event moves forward, please make sure you RSVP well in advance so I can order enough Porta Potties and TP.
Cheers
Martyn
