More Information

It's time for the NPHC's 8th Annual David Ruby Memorial Trail Ride. Make plans to join us on October 7th for the NPHC's 8th Annual David Ruby Memorial Trail Ride.

Trail ride reservations are $10 dollars per person for both riders and non-riders. Your $10 dollars is for the ride, lunch, and one poker hand.

Hamburgers and Hotdogs, soda, and water will be provided by the NPHC, Sharon, and Roy. The sides will be potluck, so everyone bring their favorite side dishes. In an effort to not have a lot of just one thing, please let Roy know what you are bringing or post below what you plan to bring, so others know. Plan to come enjoy the day with us.

Instead of a reservation form, post below who's coming or at least a count of heads, how many want Hamburgers or hotdogs, who is bringing their horse, and what side dish you plan to bring. An accurate count ensures that everyone will get to eat.

Trail Ride Poker Hands will be featured again this year. We are looking at 6-8 prizes for winning hands. Your first hand will come with your $10 dollars for the ride and lunch. Extra hands will be available for purchase at $5 dollars each.

Remember to RSVP with Roy with how many are in your party, how many hotdogs and/or hamburgers we need for your group, and what your potluck dish will be.

If you think that still need a meeting for year-end awards, you can sign in at the trail ride. We hope to see you at Washoe Lake State Park for the trail ride. Don't forget to pay your park Day fee at the gate when you arrive; The Park Rangers will ticket any vehicle that has not paid.
