Where it all happens Everything for the meeting and events will center around Porcupine Springs Campground in the Sawtooth National Forest, Cassia Division. So where in the world of Idaho is that? If you go to Google Maps and enter “42.169456, -114.260006” for the location. If you are coming from eastern Idaho, take I84 exit 184 and turn left on highway 50. If you are coming from west of Twin Falls on I84, take exit 184 and turn right on highway 50. Signs will direct to you Hansen, ID, which is around 3 miles from I84. Once in Hansen, you will head south out of town on Rock Creek Rd or G3 as it is labeled (the only road headed south out of town). 14.7 miles later you will enter the Sawtooth National Forest and the road becomes Forest Rd 515. 13 miles further down the road the blacktop ends. You will be at Diamondfield Jack Campground. Another mile or so on the gravel will put you at the entrance to Porcupine Springs Campground. Turn left and you will find us about a half a mile in. Along the way you will see our club signs. They look like this. This means to continue straight ahead. These mean to turn left or right depending on which side of the post the sign is on. We would give you our cell numbers but unless we are on top of Pike’s Mountain or over on Deadline there just isn’t any service.

The ride will consist of a combination of ATV and forest roads and we’ll see many of our forest’s valleys. We will see several water crossings, one of which might cause some wet feet, as well as an old sheep herder cabin. We will also be able to see the entire Magic Valley from our ride and the neighboring mountain ranges (including Mt. Harrison). With luck, we will also see deer, moose, ducks, and the usual cattle and sheep (don’t pet the dogs!) that graze our forest.
