Feeler for Cleghorn Ridge on 11-15-08

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Stephen (Scuba) and I are planning a trip for Nov. 15th to Cleghorn Ridge. It's a faily easy trail with some harder turn outs.

http://www.godunes.com/maps/cleghorn.htm

I know it's short notice, but any interest?

Let me know

[Seanz0rz]

might be up for it. ill see whats going on that weekend and if i have the truck in good enough shape to make it.

was actually planning to post up a run for thanksgiving weekend up there, my annual "birthday" run

[YotaGirl]

That sounds like fun (especially since it's so close to my house). I was thinking about going to Calico that weekend with a friend, but if that falls through or I can convince him to do Cleghorn, then I will definitely join you. Maybe we could all do pizza and beer at my house after the run?

[Good Times]

Dang it, I was thinking about doing that trail soon but I've got a marathon that weekend so no dice. Next time!

[2ndGen]

crap! i'll be in Indy, that weekend. if guys pick another week, let me know.

[Scuba]

hmm, way to say we were planning it, when i asked you if you were down.

But im rsvpd.
:D

The more the marrier guys !

[cplvc]

I've been wanting to run that but I'm in MI that weekend.

[Seanz0rz]

its ok, we do this trail alot since its not too technical (but fun) and is extremely close.

[Scuba]

sean when you say not too technical...hmmm..

[Seanz0rz]

search here, there are a few trail reports from jenn and i. basically every difficult point has a bypass that could be done in a minivan.

[Scuba]

screw bypasses :hillbill:

[Scooter25]

Sounds like it could be cool. What time were you thinking to meet up?

[Scuba]

Lets just say 10 AM jason ??
Sounds good to anyone that wants to join ??

[L33T35T Tacoma]

10 sounds good. about half way through we can stop and eat lunch, but no cooking unless you have a special adventure pass, they'll ticket you for cooking without a pass. cold sandwiches or MREs it is.

That website I posted mentioned starting out by the lake and ending on the major freeway. I like to start from the freeway and go towards the lake. I'll post GPS coords and more specific directions at a later date.

[Scuba]

Cold sandwhichs...hmm..

Alright buddy well ill keep an eye out here, if anything drastic changes you got the cell.

[Seanz0rz]

basically I 15 north, exit cleghorn, turn right. Trailhead! There's gas at the 138 (the next exit).

I've only run this trail from freeway to lake.

[Scuba]

looking at google maps, there looks like tons more land up there... why havent i heard about this place earlier...

Oh, so this is my plan for the 15th and 16th.

Pick up lady friend (if she can still go)....head up there, come back down (escondido area) drop her off and head out to octillo for a camp sesh with a jeep buddy of mine and her family w/ there RV, Sounds like a good weekend to me
:D

[X-Tool Pimp]

FYI Stay on the trails, blm and rangers have been out there in force writing tickets...

[L33T35T Tacoma]

There is a Gas station (I think it's a chevron) and a McDonalds right behind it just north of Cleghorn road, pretty much where the I-15 and 138 cross. We should meet there starting at 10:00 and we will roll out 10:30. Be sure to gas up. When we roll out we will get back on the 15 south and get right back off on cleghorn road, then making a left, heading east. there we can air down a little. if the trails are wet we may need to air down more.

Any questions about where we're meeting please let me know. Also message me on here for my cell number.

We will be using CB # 14 and FRS 14 with subchannel of 0 for those that have it

I'm in. I agree, freeway to lake.

[Seanz0rz]

i think im out. not really in the mood to offroad much right now.

have fun guys!

[Scuba]

Aww sean...:(

Stagger, Good to see you over here

[stagger_lee]

Aww sean...:(

Stagger, Good to see you over here


Yeah buddy!

[L33T35T Tacoma]

For those that dont have it, send me a message on here for my cell phone number should CB and FRS fail us

Stephen, any luck on that CB?

[Scuba]

dude, after wheel spacers (so i could put my lift on) and d rings...Im left with like 60 bucks till the 14th.
:(
Ill be searching for a truck stop between here and there so maybe the 15th I can pick on up on the way...make sense..?

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Well walmart has a somewhat decent CB Radio, made by Cobra. And as far as an antenna, I would buy the right stuff to do it right. Dont know if you saw how mine was installed, but I would consider that "done right"

[2ndGen]

scuba, pm me your address, i have a 3-foot magnet mount atenna and co-ax cable. you can have them.

I really appreciate the offer but i think im going to buy a firestick 2, I heard the magnets mounts have the tendency to come off at high highway speeds..

And Jason...
Im looking at: http://www.bellscb.com/products/cbradios/uniden/Uniden_PC-68LTW.htm
I've been told the ones with the built in s/rf meter are the way to go cause you dont have tu buy one seperetly

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Thats an option, but an expensive one. I have an SWR meter I keep under my passenger seat at all times along with a test cable. I can tune it for you.

I started out with a magnetic antenna. didnt work perfect but did work for offroading. Never had a problem on the freeway.

Firestick rules though :-)

[Scuba]

J money, forgive stagger...

Lol, Well, Next week when im up there i might be picking up a SA....

We will see

[Scuba]

Ok So...
New schedule is in..
Totally have the 15th and 16th off...
Cant wait to hit up cleghorn...then ocotillo for some camping...then more wheeling on sunday...!! next weekend is going to be throwed !!

[Scuba]

[Scuba]

[L33T35T Tacoma]

So final head count... me, scuba and stagger?

[slosurfer]

So.... how was it? :D

[L33T35T Tacoma]

lol... well short of scuba blowing his EFI fuse and making his truck deadlined, it was fun.

we had to tow him down the hill at 4 mph the whole way. took us 3.5 hours to get down.

fun though, we did some hard trails before he broke down. I might have pictures later
