Hey guys, I am not going to make the Red Canyon run with you tomorrow. I'm having some electrical issues with my truck that I thought had been sorted out. I am going to spend tomorrow morning working on the truck.

The last thing I want is a 200 mile tow back to SD and at this point I am not confident in the rig.

Bummer... I hope you get them sorted out and perhaps we will see you on Saturday??!!
 
OK, god willing i am pulling out of Long Beach early tomorrow morning. Got a few stops to make on the way but should be out there before 11:00.

Saw a nice white 80 headed east on I-8 about 9 this morning. Had a baja rack and a rear bumper with tire carrier. Possibly headed out to DR?
 
Don't let that post keep you from going
We will hide you amongst the SoCal80 section

they aren't going to count rigs and send people home.
I'm sure plenty of people that signed up are going to bail out at the last minute. A few are probably going in the same vehicle.
Hell I signed up early on and haven't posted anything on any threads confirming I'm going or not.
plus its the desert there is plenty of room.
Bluto come on by it'll be cool to see you again. nothing is happening today anyway if you want to head over tomorrow.

Anyway I just woke up so I guess i'll head over to camp. :D
Save me a spot if you guys beat me there!:steer:
 
Ryan, pm'ed you my number. The boys & I are @ the 91 & the 71, let me know if you want to meet up.

Got back about 2 this afternoon. Great trip. Sean orgainzed a fun little run down Red Canyon Trail after we toured the Patton Museum. Both items made it a great day. Arrived at camp around 3. Saturday morning was a lazy morning then Ryan, Nathan and I took off to run the first 40 miles of Bradshaw Trail to Willy's Well. Very easy dirt road - yawn! It was so exciting that Nathan's two awesome boys along for the ride were fast asleep when we stopped for a late lunch. Saturday evening found a great potluck of food. That was about the end of the fun. Woke up Sunday to some stiff winds that soon turned gale force kicking up a knarly bad dust storm that made getting tents down for Nathan, Frank and I very challenging but we got it done. Forgot my camera, so no pics from me. Hopefully others will post up.
 
Brent, I owe you, Ryan and (insert name here) a great deal of thanks. This morning's wind was a killer, taking the tent down by myself would have been next to impossible. Thank you!

I've got a few pics on my phone, forgot my camera as well, so I have to get them transferred to the computer and see how they turned out.

Also, a thanks goes out to Frank and his great family for the coffee and loaner coffee mug!

I was great meeting the rest of the group as well. The pot luck was awesome and way better than the canned chilli contingency plan. When I got home one of the first questions my wife asked was, how did the cucumber salad work out. I told her it was nearly finished off and she was very happy. Oh then she told me I had a box come in from Brownells:D

What a great weekend.
