Important Notes

Wash your vehicle before the event – USFS requests vehicles be washed to prevent spread of noxious weeds like yellow star thistle
Bring spare parts – Fordyce is demanding; volunteers can help but can’t carry parts for every vehicle
Plan your route in – Large RVs and trailers can make it, but use caution on forest roads
