5-6 years ago foster used to be great. Mostly all locals, or atleast from Oregon. Once all of the 4x4 mags started showing up and publisizing the event it turned to ****. It was way more fun to stay up all night the night before, drunk as all hell, waiting for the gates to open and then go tear **** up for awhile and then take a nap, wake up and eat BBQ.
Now there is no alchohol allowed, you have to have a ticket for every person, which are hard to get, DEQ shut the lake bed down when the greenies started to complain, because the magazines told everyone about it, I could go on for a long time. I havent gone for the last 4 years. I have heard that the hill is no were near as good as the lake.
