Directions
|
Traveling from Reno, take interstate 80 to Fernley and
then Hwy 50 (second exit) to Fallon or from Carson, take
Hwy 50 into Fallon. The turnoff to base camp
(Stillwater Road) is five miles east of Fallon, still on
Highway 50. A sign for the Stillwater Wildlife Refuge
indicates a left turn onto Stillwater Road. Follow this
main road (Stillwater Road) 18 miles northeast as it
makes some 90 degree turns, eventually becoming a good
dirt road 16-17 miles out.
The base camp will be located just off this dirt road 1
mile past the cattle grate and just beyond the turnoff
to Mountain Well Road. The camping area is an alkali
flat with plenty of space and Management will bring
horse water. If there are significant rain storms the
week before, the camp may need to be slightly
relocated. Please call if there are any questions or we
will update ride location information by email or phone
calls. Please put your email address on your entry.
The camp will be available for use Friday the 20th
of April through Sunday April 22th, 2007.
Services are available in Fallon or the last place is
Harmon Junction, which is at the turnoff from Hwy. 50 on
to Stillwater Road. Again, water will be available but
limited at base camp. Camping prior to the weekend is
available at the Fairgrounds. Call for details. |

Trail
|
|
The trail is a loop configuration. Lunch for both rides
will be at Mountain Well (30 or 15 miles into the ride
respectively). The vet check is crew accessible but is
limited in parking. The finish will be back at base
camp. The fifty mile race will have a vet check and
hold at 15 miles and then continue on a twenty mile high
terrain loop back into the vet check again for lunch.
The thirty mile ride ascends to Mountain Well (15 miles)
and then returns down a different trail. The fifties
also return to camp on this different trail. |
