Corona Virass Refuge Run Pt.1... tomorrow (1 Viewer)

[elripster]

Yeah, everything is cancelled and being stuck at home with kids going crazy is driving me crazy. Thus, I deem it necessary for some out of house entertainment away from crowds. Fortunately, we all specialize in that.

Planned is a run tomorrow to Alder Canyon which is south of Bailey's Cabin. For those who remember, we had an awesome camping trip there last year around this time where we got completely hammered via day drinking in camping chairs in the middle of a stream getting a tan while our kids built dams and caught frogs. Bad us. I look at this run as a chance to get out of the house and also scout the area for a near future camping trip. Our Moab trip got cancelled so we are definitely looking to do something in the next few weekends.

The details:

- Meet at the I15/76 park and ride at 9AM tomorrow and depart to Anza for Alder Canyon. We might very well explore the area, check out Baileys, etc... it will depend on how fast we move, how muddy, how rainy, etc... but at least NO DUST!
- Have lunch around, well, lunch time which could be in Alder Canyon.
- Depart the Upper Coyote area and have dinner and beverages at Mike's BBQ because we like to live dangerously and eat food. And, it will likely be nearly deserted anyway.


Comms will be the usual, FRS1, CB22, HAM 146.490.

Here is Alder in context of Bailey's

Here is an overview of how to get there. If you are leaving from the south and don't wish to meet at i15/76 you can take an alternate route and raise us over radio.

Hope to see you there you Corona free Cruiser Heads!

Ok I'll be at the park n ride at 9. Been texting here with Ted and he's up for it as well. Depending on return time, I may bail on dinner at Mike's.

Damnit! I am heading out this weekend but anza is a bit too far for me..

 

[elripster]

No worries, next time! Rolling out....

Great day today. I really needed a change of scenery and to get out of the house and onto the trail. Some highlights...

Alder Canyon beckons another trip. I long to sit in that creek and crack a cold one. It is amazing what a difference a year makes. Here is Brennen in March of 2019...

Here was today...

Anyway the trail leading there is not that bad. It's rough enough to keep the Subarus out and even offer a little fun here and there but not hard for a cruiser. We went up Alder Canyon to creekside camp ground and Tim and I went farther up to the turn around. That cost me a large chunk out of the passenger front fender flare. That part of the trail is very tight. One can get to the next major camp area but beyond that it's paint and scratches galor.

We also swung by Bailey's Cabin which is in good condition. That's also nice place to camp but gets really bad wind at night so unless you are in the cabin, tenting right in front of it, or in a trailer, high tent flattening winds are common.

All and all with my schedule opening up due to the Corona Virass cancelling life in general I am going to pitch a camping trip to the wife. Maybe we can get out there in the next few weeks.

Here are a few pictures...

So nice. Maybe since the vet run is cancelled we still get out and off road that day?

Great trip on Saturday. Here are a few pics of Bailey's cabin and Frank's fender flare damage.

While Russ and Bud work on Russ's ignition system fixing opportunity Frank admires the modification to his passenger side fender flare.

This is the upgrade(?) mode Frank made to his fender flare - I think he was trying to reduce weight.

Lots of fun on Saturday. Definitely a place to return to for an overnight!

80's and their fender flares.... There up past where we camp at Alder is a section of trail that gets very tight. I rubbed a bush not realizing there was a thick cut off branch obscured by the leaves. That branch took the flare.
