Hey, Woodsrider!!!
Sorry I didn't get to yak with you at Hog Hollow Sunday. I just kinda got busy yakkin' with the few folks I did already know, and a few I've recently met (Jim Stroup, for one, Greg Cox, Joe Anderson, Randy, and Mark H. All tremendous people....).
If I were going to make a stab at puttin' on a trial over there, I guess one of the first things I'd do is pick an area. Then find out what entity controls it (BLM, National Forest, Oregon State forest, or whichever), and from there find out what the permit process is like. I know there's a BLM office in Prineville, but not certain of much more than that. How far that partcular BLM office has control over what areas, & etc., is a complete mystery to me.
One possibility for some help may be from an OMRA (Oregon Motorcycle Riders Assn.) club that puts on a run of some sort over near you. Say, The Fall Classic XC race. The Lobos M/C puts that race on, and I think it's over at EFR. You could contact the Lobos M/C, and see if anyone there may possibly be able to help ya with who to deal with, & etc.. Here's a link to their "Contact Us" webpage:

I currently live in Sandy, on the Wet side. But my wife & I will be making infrequent trips over there to the dry side, to look for somewhwere to live. Plan on retiring in 4 years or so, and really wanna get out of the mold, which I think is the state flower over here, hee hee......
