Saturday Night Prime Rib Dinner - (Provided by the restaurant) and served at The Elks Lodge - 1896 2nd St. Baker City OR 97814. The cost is 32.00 Per Person which includes, Prime Rib a side, soup or salad, and a dessert. At the lodge dinner comes with coffee or water BUT you would have access to the bar there for all drink types. I will take payments for the dinner cause its a PIA that I don't want to burden the Restaurant with it given all the late adds and cancels. Wayne of FJRiders.com is going to assist with the Registration/Dinner site which will be up early July, once up I will update this and the registration thread.

THOUGHTS
If there is a concern that they do not have enough rooms there is also the Bridge Street Inn directly across the street whom I have not engaged. This place appears to have nicer rooms and the rates to match that - about $100 a night. We will cross that bridge if we book all the existing rooms...

This area is rife with phenomenal riding and we plan to head out from Bend Thursday am with a mid afternoon arrival.

I am looking forward to seeing old friends and hoping to meet some new ones!
