Calico Run - 1/20/18 (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

A few club members are planning a day trip on 1/20/18 to Calico and anyone that is interested is welcome to join us. We plan to take a relatively mild trail that has a few obstacles that could be challenging to some. We will stay out of the tough sections of Odessa and Doran Canyons. Most stock trucks with decent tires should have no trouble. One other club member and I ran the trail last year and I was in a stock 100 and she had a built 4Runner. We made it through with no problems. Here is a link to a bunch of photos of that run:

We plan to meet at 8:30 A.M. at the intersection of Calico Road and Mule Canyon Road. The trail will take us up to the Bismark Mine then over to Wall Street and we will eventually end up on Fort Irwin Road. We may do some target practice if we get done early enough. I think most of us will do this as a day trip but there are some good places to camp for those that want to stay overnight. Let me know if you are interested.

I added the date to the text so it is not so easy to miss...

@Otis, UZJ100 doable on stock OEM tires (not A/Ts)

Might be on my calendar, if I figure out what is going on with my brakes first.

I think so but there are a couple of spots that could be challenging, especially if you still have your running boards. I ran it without airing down my A/T's that were nearly worn out and we only had a little trouble in one spot. It took my son a few attempts and we stacked a few rocks to get through. Airing down and a rear locker on a stock truck would certainly help.

I'll have to check the schedule but I should be there!

anybody want to do a rollout from somewhere in San Diego?

 

[Otis]

A couple of us are rolling out of Mission Viejo at 6:00 A.M. and should be at the meeting spot by 8:30. If you plan on going you may want to PM me your phone number and I'll send you mind just in case someone is running late. Otherwise, just show up at 8:30...

It was a fun run with no problems or damage... Here are a bunch of photos:
