Mining claim run...

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Bah! I did the hard part!!! I hope you can make it, but if the Pig isn't towable, maybe you can come with someone else who isn't spending the night....

Shoot me some direction's and a meeting time, I am hoping to take Thursday off work to finish everything, so there is still a small chance in hell I could show up.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

That's the spirit!!! I'll get some directions out tonight.

Roll call!!! Who's coming, who's camping overnight, and who's bummed that they have to work?

 

[RredFJ40]

BUMMED!

 

[Ebag333]

Coming! Possibly camping!

 

[Darkrealms]

I'm tenatively coming or tenatively bummed. If I come I may be sponsoring someone (or maybe not if they get their due$ and form filled out).

 

[knoll0351]

Coming of course and planning on camping

Ok, so how is everyone with meeting in Yreka at 10 a.m.? That should put us at the claim by noon pretty easy....

Directions to my house:

From I5 south, take exit 775 (Central Yreka exit) Take a right at the stop sign at the end of the exit. The road splits around an island, and comes up to a stop light, you want to be in the middle lane. Go straight through the stop light.

You will be heading west on Miner St.. After 3-5 blocks (depending on your definition of a block...) you will come to a stop sign, go straight. You will pass a park on your left, and 2 blocks after the stop sign take a left onto Fairchild St. go about 100 yards, and take another left onto Hearn St.

My house is on the right, and all by its self. It's off-white, and you'll be able to see my truck, or my sweet red Honda parked out back. Park anywhere you want, we're all friends here...

Jesse, you probably won't want to come to my house if you're towing, so take exit 773 first exit past 775. Take a right at the stop sign, and a left at the light, and pull over just past Burger King, and we'll pick you up on the way.

Bummed, How come you have to work to support a habit, but work always gets in the way of the habit. Josh

So it is double digits...but barely...

 

[Ebag333]

So it is double digits...but barely...

Yeah, you're gonna have to wake up and leave in the single digits.

 

[knoll0351]

Yeah!! What's up with that? Thought this was a nice leasurely trip.

Wheels up no later than 8:30?

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Yeah, sorry about the "early" call...... (Wiener...)

 

[Darkrealms]

Not going to make this one : (
See you guys no later than the 25th though.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Well it went... Well!!! I took the lead through the water crossing, and it turned out to be a piece of cake... Here's some pics (not of the water crossing though, no ammo for the enviro's)

Here's the 3 of us at Etna summit...

Gabe and Travis getting their wheel on...

And The elusive FJC in it's natural habitat....

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

That's me in "The Pit"

Gabe trying to test out his skid plate, but I'll be darned if Travis and I could get him hi centered... He needs to take the lift off...

And some Cows... our ever present companions....

 

[Darkrealms]

Nice pictures. Looks like it was a lot of fun. I guess I need to get mine finished so I stop missing out on all the fun.

Thats alright though, I helped a friend get his work truck up and running.

 

[RredFJ40]

enough pics for a picture page on the website?

 

[Ebag333]

Is this enough?
