Kids on Public Lands

[Mike]

So did anyone support KOPL? Any stories or pics that can be shared? I wanted to go, but had other commitments (My Mom was in town).

I have read of this event several times and have talked to a few guys from other forums who are interested in it. Is there a limited number of drivers andrigs needed, and what are the other volunteer positions that are needed.

I just found out about this program recently and didn't have time to get free for it, but I helped the Waywegos with their 35th annual kids run a few weeks ago. What a great bunch of folks. The kids love it, and it's a great day to meet some really neat people. The FS came down the trail in a fire truck with the sirens wailing and lights going. Smokey the Bear made an appearance as well. The kids all got to operate the fire hose, and climb around the truck. I took hundreds of pictures of nothing but smiles. I'll be back again next year, and look forward to this event as well. There's always something for a volunteer to do, if you're so inclined.

I'll remember next year to post the contact info for signing up. My girlfriend (Steph) handled it this year.

There are plenty of rigs and drivers at the event to drive the boys on Saturday. The same is nearly true on Sunday when the girls go out (boy drivers for the boys, girls for the girls). However, for those that want to help out and drive one of the 4 runs, you can. My firend and his wife (actually she is in charge, he is just dead weight)are in charge of the kids activities at the Discovery Center. That is a spot where help is needed.

As the event approaches next year, I will be certain to post information about helping out as well.

The event is a good time, and I would encourage you to participate.
