2009 "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.

TBA Applegate-Lassen
Trail ride 1846
-History Re-visited. It's late April
1847, your jumping off point is Independence, MS; your traveling west in a
wagon train, yours is 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, there 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 rest for the
night. In the morning you have to make a choice; follow the California
(later the Donner Route) Route into the Sierra's, take the Carson Trail
south-west across the 40-Mile Desert, or swing your wagons north-west via
the Applegate-Lassen Trail (later to become known as the "Death Route").
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....
NAVIGATIONAL/GPS/Goecache Class is available
this spring!
For 2010 ORE offers the following events:
Adventures in off-road driving; (Level-1), (Level-2), (Level-3).
Nevada Ghost Town Tour; Guided on/off road tour to historic ghost
towns & mining camps of Nevada.
History Re-visited, The Applegate-Lassen Trail: Spend two days
re-tracing the infamous Applegate-Lassen Trail of 1846, sometimes referred
to as the "Death Route." The trial is unchanged from 1846... see the trail
as it was, the waterholes, and the graves along the way.
Across Nevada in 1908-2009 1908 was the year of the famed NEW
YORK to PARIS race. Join us as we re-trace the winning cars route
across Nevada from East to West. Space limited. March 14-17, 2008.
