2011 "ORE" ADVENTURES IN
OFF-ROAD DRIVING EVENT SCHEDULE
Since 1990 The Off-Road Experience has operated in
Northern Nevada, with bases in Fernley (near Reno), Lovelock, Winnemucca and
now in Elko. Why don't we operate in California? A: Limited
access to public lands due to closures and winter weather. In Nevada we can
operate year-round, thus giving YOU the opportunity to experience the
changing seasons on Nevada. Join us for a day or weekend of fun, adventure
and learning. 
In Nevada, where the BLM manages over 80% of the land there, we have an
endless playground, and with little or no traffic!
Below our schedule you'll find our current rates, followed by a list of
ORE approved accommodations.
We hope to see you in Nevada very soon.

AUG , 2011;
Applegate-Lassen Trail ride 1846
-History Re-visited.
It's late April 1847; The "jumping off point" is Independence, MS; you're traveling west in a wagon train being pulled by three yoke of Oxen, giving you an average speed of
1.5-mph.
After months
on the trail you arrive at Lassen Meadows in early August,
here you find a painted barrel full of notes and mail
from other travelers next to the trial... You dig in and start reading. Someone writes,
"Last October (1846) the Donner Party had been stranded in the
Sierra mountain snows with a great
loss of life." You all rest for the night, family and
critters, in the morning you have
to make a choice; 1) follow the California (later the Donner Route) Route into
the Sierra's, or 2) Take the Carson Trail south-west across the 40-Mile Desert, or
3) Swing the wagons north-west via the Applegate-Lassen Trail (later to become
known as the "Death Route"). Click for
Applegate web site
Join
us for this adventure back in time.
This is History lesson... we'll sightsee the watering holes they
stopped
at as they trekked across Northern Nevada; see emigrant graffiti carved into
rock walls; and see wagon wheel tracks still visible on the trail today! We
may stumble across a grave of a lady who died in child birth in the 1860s. Like those
before us, we'll have to camp along the way (on the
first night we can stay at a B&B, but reservations need to be made months ahead of time,
if not we camp on the trail). Children are welcome. You'll be
required to bring food, water and additional gas. This is not an off-road
event, but a rolling History Lesson, though you'll need a 4WD to transverse
the trail. Space is limited....
