Ride & Tie Parties!

[Steve Shaw <sshaw@pacbell.net>]

The Ride and Tie Assocation, a 501(c)3 organization that didn't have to 
change any Articles, etc., is putting on two parties this next year. 
And you are all invited!

One is the co-hosting of the Friday Night Dance at the AERC Convention 
in February. Like all of the last few years the Ride and Tie Association 
is only charging endurance riders a $2.00 admission. Ride & Tiers are 
$3.00 to dance, $5.00 to talk. There will be a restricted mike this year 
and more dancing.

The other is a week long party from July 4th through July 10th. The 
29th annual Easyboot Ride & Tie Championship will be held on July 10 at 
the Rock Creek Ranch at the site of the old Powerhouse (still in 
operation) just out of Klammath Falls, Oregon on Hywy 140. The Running Y 
Ranch and Rock Creek Ranch are co-hosting the event this year and it 
promises to be one of the most challenging and fun weeks.

You are all invited to share the base camp for that week and ride the 
40 miles of premarked trails overlooking the lake. Come share in the 
weeklong activities and sights near Crater Lake. Base camp is at the 
site of an old ghost town just 1/2 mile off the highway. Water is easily 
available at the camp and miles and miles of riding on over 52,000 acres 
is accessible. Endurance riders are FREE, no charge for camping or 
riding. 

Camp and trails open on July 4th weekend. There is a surprise party on 
Wednesday, Potluck on Thursday, RAT Race on Saturday with a no-host 
banquet and free dance that afternoon. A Shriners Mule Camp will be held 
that same week and they will be providing the meal on Sat.

Mark your calenders. Just be carefull if you bring your running or 
hiking shoes!
