Majic Mountain/Gorman -Aug 9th day trip

[Brentbba]

Contracts: let me see...... oh, yea, that would be offer, acceptance and performance. Sorry thats all I remember.
Hope you can take the day off, looking forward to some dirt in gorman.

Hell Stan, I remember that much from my two business law classes back in the 70's!

I have another FJC that wants to go on this day run, but we still need someone who knows the trail.

Trail is very easy to navigate....all you need is a topo map, which you can probably get for free off the net....No navi in the FJC? a little topo cd will be better than a guided tour.

Very good idea, I forget about all of this new fangled technology. I also have never owned a vehicle new enough to have Nav in it. ;p

Half the fun in off-roading is the feeling of being lost.

 

[rfjtoy]

Hope you guys had a blast in Big Bear today,
MM is a go, I'll be up there about 10:30 am on Wed.
Let me know if anyone can join me.

 

[Slomo]

I won't be able to make it. Appointments and such. Hopefully next time. Have a great time, it is a fun trail.

 

[bluto]

Just in case.
I live close by so...but
If and then situation for me - but where are you gassing up/meeting at 1030AM? What trail(s) are you doing?

 

[rfjtoy]

I'll Be dropping the boys at MM about 10:30, Have no idea what's in the area,
I'll be gassing up on Magic Mountain pkwy/frontage road between 10:30 - 11:00 DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC.

rfjtoy,

I dont know if you have a map already but I can drop by real quick and give you a map (from CTUC) that I havent used - if you dont. I cant find the official Forest Service one.

Expect 30-45 min depending on your foot from MM.

It would be my first time to run a trail (non fire/service road) in Los Padres if I go with you guys. But need to stay close to home for now. Ill see if I can go.

 

[rfjtoy]

Bluto,

Drop by, could use the map.
Hope you can join us.

 

[bluto]

Gas station at the entrance of MM (chevron I recall) between 1030-1100 then.

 

[rfjtoy]

See ya there.

 

[Slomo]

FWIW the last time I ran it sliders were not required but I hear it has gotten a little "better" since then. I only ran it once after they re-routed it to eliminate the first leg that used to actually run down the middle of the stream but there is an initial climb that was starting to get torn up by open diff jeeps. Your cruiser/FJ's should have no problems.

 

[rfjtoy]

Thanks Mo wish you could take the day off and join us.

 

[Slomo]

Me too but I have absolutely nobody to watch the little guy. Might look bad if I left him home to wheel. He is too little to bring along on this one due to the hours involved. When he is older, I am on it. Have a great run.
