Administrators Eric Hall Posted March 17, 2021 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Registration is LIVE! Click here to purchase tickets Excited to be planning my tenth annual High Sierra! Sep 2-5, 2021 at Brown's Owens River Campground near Mammoth Lakes. Good news/bad news.... Good news is tickets are an all time low of $128. Bad news is no catered food this year. Our famed caterer, Doniece, is retiring and we were led to believe her associate would take over catering this year but I never got confirmation and we were left in a position where it was too late to get anyone else to cater such a large event on such a major holiday weekend. But we're all adventure motorcyclists and capable of feeding ourselves. There are many restaurants within 10-15 minutes of camp and there are many of us who like to cook and I'm sure they'll be offering to cook for a few extra mouths if you can arrange that. This year's sponsors so far: Harley Davidson (Pan America): test rides and possible swag Dunlop: stickers, shirts, coozies, tire gauges DoubleTake Mirrors: adv mirrors Marlondo Leather: 2 leather desk sets Maxima Racing Oils USA Rigg Gear: 20l Hurricane backpack/tail bag Givi USA: $1200 in gear Klim USA: $250 gift card Sena: dual pak 50s KTM North America: moto stand, tech pack upgrade for 790/.890, assorted swag Attendees: Robert Smith @Jason R Jerry Hong Chris Rippy Erin Darling Perry Brown Steven Dufloth William Kennedy Kelly Ehret James Rena @RogersW @greedyg Shane Bearly Luke Williams Stephan Dornberg Pietro Ambrosino David Diaz Jamie Russette Felipe Cardoso Olivier Cornet John Tallon Rob Hull Carl Sims Tim McWhorter Jean-Marc Plisson Sergio Felix George Gerrard Thomas White David Klasing @Donald Funesblanco Sarah Marquet Sarah Marquet Guest Fernanda Toledo Doug Schramm @motochefarwi Mrs. Motochefarwi Roland Chocarro John Howard Cristian Sorescu Cristian Sorescu guest Valeriu Mihai Michelle Acitelli Hugh Dunklee Richard Thomas Jake Morton Jake Morton Guest 1 Jake Morton Guest 2 Jake Morton Guest 3 Chris Ramey Eric Hall Paul Costello Tom Palmer Dennis Godwin Jessica LaPage Barry Wehrli John Fritz Evan Brown Carlos Fernandez 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry W Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I'm in, looking forward to my first XLADV ride! Quote I’d like to add dinner Thursday and breakfast Friday as well as a prize drawing Thursday and Friday night. Those are good ideas to draw interest, see if I can think of any others... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted April 28, 2021 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Can you believe this will be our 10th annual High Sierra?! We have a pretty cool title sponsor this year too; Harley Davidson. They'll be in attendance and you'll get to see their new Pan America. To make it extra special, we're adding a dinner Thursday and breakfast Friday as well as a single prize drawing both Thursday and Friday nights. I'm still finalizing costs so don't have a price or ticket link up yet. Keep in mind last year's price ($178) was lowered due to covid and before I knew the food costs. So this year will back to "normal" but also reflect 2 additional meals and two years of their price increases. I do promise to offset that with what Harley Davidson is contributing though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Ehret Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Looking forward to it... though I think I'm going to opt out of the raffle this year given how much stuff I won last year 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted May 29, 2021 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 High Sierra update... so I'm delayed getting a registration link up because I still haven't gotten an estimate on food costs. Doniece, our caterer, is 72 and says she's transitioning out of the catering business but her assistant, Chase, is going to continue with it. I think estimates are not in his skill set yet but Doniece said she'll help get me one soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted June 20, 2021 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Got an update with some good news and bad news. Good news is registration will be a whole lot less expensive this year! Bad news is we won't have catered food this time. But we are adventure riders after all and I'm sure that preparing our own food is something we can handle. Im sure it will be an opportunity as well for people who like to cook like Dave Diaz, Arwi, Pat, Jonathan, etc... to come up with their own menus and perhaps put a few bucks in their pockets. There are quite a few places around camp you can grab breakfast too (Tom's Place) and dinner. Mammoth Lakes is very close. I just haven't had any response from either Doniece or Chase so I'm guessing it's something they're not up for doing again. I did reach out to some other caterers but didn't get a response either. I think that's because it's a big weekend and it's a bit late at this stage to get anyone to commit as they're probably already booked for that weekend. I also asked our cook from Mojave, Tracy, if he could do it but he said they moved to Prescott, AZ and he's working full time as well as building a house and he's too busy. I do promise to have drinks available though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
