Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route 2017 Planning
If you're interested in doing the OBDR please post in this thread. I'm starting to plan my vacation schedule for next year. A few dates are not good for me:
I just completed the WABDR during August 11-17th and weather was great. No rain. Sky was blue. Trails were cleared not slowing us down due to deadfalls. Only issue was the heat in Eastern WA and the dust. I'm leaning towards the latter part of July beginning of August. Need to think fire season too. Also which route would you be interested in doing? Route 5 from Cali to WA seems like a good one - 750 miles. I'm going to try and do Route 6 out to the coast before winter sets in. Oregon Back Country Discovery |
It, and the WaBDR are on my list.
Are you asking to have someone do it with you, or are you just asking to get general info, tips, etc....? |
Just putting feelers out for anyone interested in doing it.
|
I've been wanting to do this for some time now...

There's not a ton of info out there on the OBDR except from our dual sport friends. Here's a few links that I'm using to help plan the trip.
They mention the dust in August and that is spot on. I'll post some video footage of the dust that followed me in the WABDR. So hot and dry in eastern Washington it was nothing but a cloud of dust. Timing needs to be just right. Maybe June/July...instead of Late July/August.

I have an interest.. I'm NE Bend, near MV High School. Besides this, I'd be down to do some trails/meet-ups with some Bend folks.

I did this last year. At Seneca we cut over to Sisters and down the cascades then over to Coos Bay from crescent lake. I can give some tips. I have a group going late June early July, I would be happy to help you figure out your trip.

So how long of a drive are you planning OP?
On a side note; maybe we should get a Bend, OR off-roading trip going soon? |

I have nothing useful for this thread except that I love the Bend, OR area. Wish it wasn't a 6-7hr drive or I'd visit more often.

I can eat some dust. Get it going BlackWorksInc Lots of close day trips around the area, if that's what your thinking. Shoot some guns out east, eat some food, kick up some dust. East OHV or just dirt roads and the cascades are snow free now at least for another month, after Thanksgiving...all bets are off. Nice drive up Century Drive to Cultus Lake then the back way to Waldo Lake to Hwy58 is mellow run. |
