[Tbars4]

i hear ya....but maybe you and i could run up there the next weekend as you said...from your house go thru lake elsinore to highway 74, ortega highway...

 

[carlover]

There's also little offroad places to trail ride in the hills above my house. nothing to fancy but its fun with campsites and fire pits.

 

[Hanzo Steel]

Count me in.

 

[Tbars4]

count you in on the ortega highway meet up??? this will be sunday when your scca race is on, lol... or the one out by fontana??? big bear is also coming up...

 

[Hanzo Steel]

I thought this meet wasn't happening this weekend?

....and its F1!

 

[Tbars4]

the following weekend i believe for carlover and it's out by fontana...i need to see if black goblin wants to meet this sunday still or if he would rather wait and the bunch of us could meet out by fontana with carlover too the following weekend...

 

[Tbars4]

hanzo, i can run up to see you sunday....

 

[FROADER]

This Sunday (10th) I'm going to the VW Classic at Irvine Meadow early, but might be able to meet afterwards. The following Sunday (17th) is Father's Day. I won't be able to make that. Pops and I usually go for a cruise in his '57 speedster.

 

[Hanzo Steel]

I'm playing it by ear, I know more tomarrow.

 

[Tbars4]

thanks for the heads up on fathers day...i was thinking if black goblin is the only one going to make it to ortega, we could run across main divide road and still make the bug in....

 

[Black Goblin]

If I go up there and we go on the main devide I would have to ride with you cause I don't think my saturn would like the trail lol. I could probably make it go up the trail but it would be kinda funny seeing a saturn do that lol. I am going to do my SOA tomorrow. I am going to have my friend weld it up on sunday if I am home.

 

[Tbars4]

black goblin...
lets wait and get your truck soa done and it will give me a little more time on my trucks...my ranger has a hub problem and Project X is working on getting tags ...but lets hear besides next sunday, fathers day, what day everyone can meet ...and so far we got orteda highway area or fontana area to meet and greet and or camp and picnic...and don't forget big bear is coming too...

 

[Stic-o]

Sunday is also Truckfest (4wp show ) out in ontario.

 

[Black Goblin]

Well I am doing my SOA today and I am going to pull of my transfer case to see if it is the tranny or transfer case that is messed up.

I can meet pretty much any saturday evening or sunday all day. Just need to know when it is going to happen. LOL.

 

[carlover]

Im out for anything on Fathers day. got something planned with the kids. But that saturday before im free...

 

[Tbars4]

[Stic-o]

stic o...is the truck fest this sunday???

Yes, at the convention center I can't go though, I have to go pick my in-laws down in the LBC, change my oil, and wash my truck for the first time sence Feb.

 

[Tbars4]

i'll be picking up parts for the ranger in valencia on sunday and some for the X on saturday and somewhere in between i'm hoping the X will pass smog ..i would like to try to make it to the bug in in irvine this weekend to see froaders dad but will see...my lack of sleep has caught up to me and pismo was the best sleep i had in a month, lol...

 

[Stic-o]

Ok Guys so I was thinking... what about a light run with meet and greet. This run would be doable even for 2wd, but you'll get see some dirt and some back country nature.

Here's what I was thinking,

Start at Mt. base in morning 210 and 2. Head north up Angels Crest Hwy. just past the the Mt Wilson turn off is a trail called Rincon Shortcut. This trail is a 26 mi. fire road that goes from Hwy 2 to Hwy 39. Once you exit the trail on the 39 side Azusa OHV(4x4 only) is right there. I use to due this trail in my old 2wd pre runner ranger all the time. Takes a few hours, and then we could play in the OHV park, just don't ask me to play in the mud... Not a big fan of mud...if there is any.

anyway so I was thinking maybe June 23rd or 24th just a day run, and maybe we all grab some dinner afterwards or something.

Thoughts?


more info on the trail
