This event begins Saturday morning in uptown Maupin with a breakfast and registration in Kaiser Park; the bike route then takes riders through nearly 200 miles of scenic, northcentral Oregon and returns to the banks of the Lower Deschutes River in Maupin at the Imperial River Company for an evening after-party. There will be a chili cook-off, a beer garden, food provided by local eateries, a bike show, a special performance by the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, and to round out the evening, live music from local, all-veteran band, Got Your 6. Poker Hands are $15.00 for one and $5.00 for the second. Camp or stay in one of our lodges and make a weekend of it!

OUR STORY

OAMH began when one of the founders, Mike Caldwell, read an article in the local newspaper regarding the Wasco County Sheriff, Lane Magill, who had contacted a combat Veteran who was threatening suicide. In his attempts to help, he tried to make arrangements to drive the Veteran, on his own time, to a VA hospital only to be told the Veteran was going to have to wait for his appointment, which was scheduled in the upcoming weeks. Later, the Sheriff learned the Veteran did in fact commit suicide prior to his appointment.

Shortly after reading this article, Mike was watching a program on TV that highlighted hunting trips for severely disabled Veterans. The combination of these two events left him wondering: “Why can’t we do that here?”

Within the next few days Mike contacted Lane Magill, Hal Woods, Fred Coleman, Keith Nantz, and Eric Hyatt. They all supported the idea and shared a desire to try and help Veterans through their passion for the outdoors, and they are now the founders of OAMH.

WHAT WE DO

OAMH takes documented wounded combat Veterans of Oregon on guided, all inclusive, outdoor adventures including hiking, skiing, backpacking, hunting, fishing, camping, etc. So far, OAMH has provided over 30 outdoor adventures to wounded combat Veterans, including hunts for turkey, deer, elk, and on Columbia River fishing trips. We strive to increase our applicant pool and broaden the types of activities we offer.

“If you are a veteran, all you have to do is let us know about something you want to do, and we will do our best to make it happen.”

— Fred Coleman – OAMH President
