Lockwood/Miller saturday after turkey day

[Scooter25]

For those of us in the SF/SCV areas. Assuming it is still open, is anybody interested in a saturday 11/29. run? May not be much longer before snow hits up there.

[Scuba]

Is that up near SLO ?

[Scooter25]

Up the 5 near Gorman.

[Scooter25]

What none of you LA or Ventura area folk want to come out and play? :headscratch:

[Scuba]

If I get my truck running by then, im seriously thinking about it buddy

:D

[slosurfer]

hmm....... I'm considering it. That's a long drive though. :(

[Scuba]

Chris, You know you want too :D

[Scooter25]

Yeah Chris it should only be 2 1/2 hrs or so. Alright Steven, get that gremlin taken care of and cruise up.

[Scuba]

Totally talkin bout it man, I believe I'll have the 27-29th off.
Whats this area like anyway...?

Here are some pics from last time some of us went there. JC ran the trail fully open on street tires with a little spotting. On the way out there is also a cool little playground.

[slosurfer]

I'll have to play it by ear. See if the 4runner is done and what work I have lined up.

[Scuba]

Looks like a great time

Im down if the truck is running.
I swear no one is going to ever want to wheel with me if I keep breaking..
One tire fire at pismo, truck dying at cleghorn, Well I guess third time is a charm.

Oh, And do I spot someones runner Pre shockworks front :D ??

Family is the whole reasone I want to get out and go, haha!

STill playing this one by ear. If I go, I'm probably going to try to camp somewhere.

[Scooter25]

If someone else goes I'm definitly in. Chris I doubt you'll need reservations to camp but call and check anyway http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=737

[Scuba]

Ok.
Well I might attememt another one of my knockout weekends.
I might head to ocotillo for thursday night, chill firday, then head up there saturday.
Sounds like a plain main
:D

[Scooter25]

Ya main :thumbup:

[Scuba]

Alright well my "knockout weekend" that I was hoping for isnt gonna happen.
But Scott, Im down for miller.

I think you need to change the "feeler" part on the title.
If you can a Mod deff should
:D

[Scooter25]

O.K. title modded. What do you say 10am @ I-5 and Frazier Mountain Rd. I think it's a Pilot truck stop.

[troyboy162]

looks like a good place to test out my new lift. 3" toytec on the way! thank you for the offer on the springs though. i would have been all over it if it wasnt for all the clearence i wish id had this weekend.

[Scuba]

Hah, Nice

Scott, 10 sounds fine to me.
Im guessing itll be about 1 1/2 drive.
No biggie.
I might have my buddy that was at pismo with me also...Who knows though

Troy does that mean your in ?

[troyboy162]

yup count me in. :thumbup: two hour drive from here. i dont have any mines listed in that area unfortunately :(

[Scuba]

Possibly 4 if chris comes.

GIT R DONNEEE !!!

EDIT !!!!
POSIBILITY OF RAIN, this week= MUD !!!

:D

[troyboy162]

[Scooter25]

Just a day run for me.

[Scuba]

Same here.
I have work 4pm sunday.

I guess were still waiting on if chris comes or not, He said he would be camping.


Scott, I think you need to change your sig line..isnt your bumper already installed ?

[troyboy162]

lift and tires will not be in in time :( Scotts gonna have to pull me up through there. j/k i looked on the net and it dosnt look that bad...mild to wild depending on the line you take. theres a great video of some FJ's having the damndest time on this one easy spot lol.

[Scuba]

Troy, I have a feeling you will be fine.
A locker would be nice though.
And wheres that link to the FJ's..Im lazy!

I really truely didnt get my fix in the other weekend, So I am very excited, If I tell my parents about this trip, I think Im going to get ranted at, No worries..Ill just leave at 8AM, on a saturday, they'll have fun figuring that one out :D

[troyboy162]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VLo1f9zzDg

Hah, number one, There all IFS, thats why it was so worthy...
But seriously, there were some nice rigs..

number 2 deff made my heart race a bit :D

[Scuba]

Oh and looking on google maps, I think the road is actually Frazier Mountain Park RD.
??
Correct me if Im wrong please...

[slosurfer]

I believe that was "Chicken Rock" and if I'm not mistaken, it has been blasted to little pieces now.

Sorry guys, I'm out. I forgot that we have our family tradition of getting our christmas tree that weekend. :(

Have fun without me. I may try to do something a little closer to home though one of those days.

[Scuba]

Awww...

Well alright buddy, Happy holidays, Now that you said christmas tree, Pics of it once its up are a must :D !!!

But seriously.
If you do go wheeling, Im sure there will be pics.

Take it easy

[slosurfer]

Haha, it's going to be a total Charlie Brown tree this year. We are going to be gone for christmas, so it's getting tossed before we leave.

[Scuba]

Oh I see.
Where are you heading to..?

[slosurfer]

Shaver Lake, maybe I'll take the 4runner and get some snow wheeling in. :hillbill:

[ecchamberlin]

Is this still happening guys?

I am interested in hitting this up if it is.

[Scooter25]

Absolutly. 10am meet time. :clap:

[ecchamberlin]

Cool. I am going to see if I can get my CO2 tank filled tonight then.

[slosurfer]

Ah man, now I'm really feeling bad about not going! :(

[ecchamberlin]

well none of the compressed gas guys are answering their phones. Must have the day off. No big deal they open at 8am. If I am there waiting when they open I should be able to get it filled and head out and still make it on time.

Can one of you pm me a cell phone number so we have pos comms please?

[slosurfer]

Okay, I'm still contemplating, :laugh: the only thing that is killing me is the 3hr drive there and back. Not prepared to camp at the moment. :laugh:

[Scooter25]

c'mon Chris.. Ju can do it

[Scuba]

Ok so when I was looking at google maps the other day...I saw a bunch of diff buildings at that intersection.
What building/ parking lot are we meeting at ??
The big a$$ truck stop ?
I think it would be hard to find some of us...lol

[ecchamberlin]

chris you know you want to do this...

[ecchamberlin]

Big A$$ truck stop it is then. Channel 4 on the CB's until it gets too busy with other wheelers.

This the best map I know of for this area.

[troyboy162]

[ecchamberlin]

It has been a little while since I was out there but it is pretty well traveled. I would not be suprised if it is busy out there today also.

I have a map and GPS.

[slosurfer]

Have fun guys! I didn't get back from my parents till late last night, so no time to get ready. :(
