Come join us for a spectacular drive/ride along the Smith and Pemigewasset Rivers. An approximate 6+ mile out&back dirt road meanders through the woods and across brooks which feed into the two rivers that become the Merrimack River in Franklin, NH. The area is wonderfully maintained by The Army Corps of Engineers and NH Fish and Game. Along the way, you will view the rivers, open meadows and home sites of the former Old Hill Village, which was moved to higher ground after numerous floods. Bridges safely cross the tributaries and you hear the babbling brooks and see many birds and sometimes deer. The drive will be a down and back with an excellent spot for turn around, totaling 12 miles (NEHT members note.) June 3 (Sat)  Rain Date: June 4

ADVANCE RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED-- Camping reservations can be made at: ReserveAmerica   ("MEETUPS" are NOT "run" by club hosts, are NOT covered by GSCA liability insurance.)   Come explore twenty thousand acres of great driving and riding. Miles and miles of fire roads, and many one-way campground roads. MORE ROUTES available each year. Some outer boundary trails are a little sandy and stony, but there are miles and miles of grassy trails, also roads. Explore Maple Springs Wildlife Mgmt area just south of the park. No motor vehicles are allowed on the trails or fire roads. You may encounter an occasional gate to go around, for riders. The bugs typically are not bad.   Horse Camping (Charge Pond Area C) accommodates all size rigs but for those who have a camper larger than 30‘, reserve one of the outer sites which tend to be larger than those in the middle of area C. Plenty of trees for highlines or bring your own paddock. There are some water faucets scattered among the sites.

Entrants can participate with any safe equipment regardless of style; riding, driving, or even long-lining! ECHO is excellent for cross-training in many disciplines and you can choose how you want to use the course to better your skills.

CDSGKC Recreational Driving Adventures The executive board of CDSGKC is offering recreational drives for our members and non-members as well. Our goal for 2023 is to start out safe and simple. We are proposing three drives this year. After much discussion we think that having our drives on private property is the wisest idea. To fulfill our goal for safety, each driver will have to pass a safety check before they are allowed to drive. If necessary, we will help each driver achieve compliance with a safety check. Drivers are encouraged to wear helmets; however, a helmet waiver will be available for drivers who choose against a helmet. All drivers will sign a CDSGKC release of liability. K Bar J Ranch, Pleasant Hill, Mo ? May 6th, Drive will start at 11am and end by 3pm. ? June 17th, Saturday before Father’s Day. Drive will start at 11am and end by 3pm. Pam and Kelly Johnson in Pleasant Hill, owners of the K Bar J Ranch, have a fenced arena available for cones and dressage as well as trails and obstacles. Hunters Ridge, Louisburg, KS ? October 14th, Saturday. Drive will start at 11 am and end by 3pm. Paula Pray of Hunters Ridge Equestrian Center in Louisburg, Kansas is the site for the year end event. We will have cones, dressage, and trails with obstacles. Each event will be posted on our Facebook page, and you can send any concerns and questions to deselichr@gmail.com if you are interested.
